We have 160,000 ventilators in all of the US. So when we hit 1,600,000 simultaneous active cases, that's it. But systems aren't 100% efficient, so probably something less.
At 33% daily growth, that is in 12 days, next Friday, sooner in hot spots.
My first tweet had a bad parameter (10% need vents, not 20%) but thanks to the magic of exponentiation, the # of days only changed by ONE.

- Put gloves & a mask on for 1st time to go into the hallway of my condo.
- Spoke to a neighbor at a safe distance of 25 feet.
- Learning to operate all the sink faucets with my elbow.
Without vents, 10% of everyone that gets covid dies. The low mortality % is entirely based on the availability of ventilators. To the extent that that number is fantasy, so is the lower mortality rate. That makes for a new worst-case estimate of 23 million dead in the US.
331 * .7 (contract it) * .1 (need vent) - neglible % who get a vent
That is 33 American civil wars.

This indoor cardio routine is way less taxing than actual running.
outdoor running: 30 min, entire time > 147bpm, max 168, ie. peak range
indoor cardio w/youtube*: 30 min, entire time >121, <147, ie. cardio range
I'm going to have to experiment some more.

Therapist: And what do we feel powerless watching the Federal government's response?
Me: Give money on ActBlue?
Therapist: No, that's partisan.

Obama Admin *actually warned* incoming administration about pandemic in a tabletop exercise. (i.e. not just a footnote in a long doc)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4EVn03aCJg
This just boggles the mind that the previous admin was getting ready for covid 3 years before it happened and the current administration decided to, well, you know.

Up to 2/3 of people with covid completely lose their sense of taste and smell during the infection.
Damn, this virus watched all our movies.

Here is my fitbit accurately reporting on my common cold progress:
This shows resting heart rate this week & this month. Most of the year I'm 50-55. A common cold caused it to spike over the last few days & tracks perfectly how I subjectively felt. https://x.com/mistersql/status/1241724018849439744/photo/1
Incredible data viz: Because of global interconnectivity, the anti-epidemic tools gov't have used so far are like so much wet toilet paper. Except for Taiwan policies. They're fine, smart public policy still works.

Facts you can use:
You can live without ~1 lung, our body overprovisions
It takes 3-4 weeks of exercise to get ~20%-30% more Vo2max (a measure of lung efficiency)
It takes 2-14 days of sedentary life to lose those gains
https://www.abc.net.au/news/health/2017-04-09/how-long-does-it-take-to-lose-fitness/8426246
Cardio exercise, roughly, is like getting a 3rd lung.
♡ 0 ↻ 0Benefits of cardio increase all the way up to 90m a day. I think for the next year I'll double my normal protocol of 30m running + daily 30m walking to, 60m indoor cardio, walking is hard to do when staying home all the time.

If I'd known that y'all only cared about was infectious diseases, I would have been tweeting about that sooner instead of dad jokes and office slice-of-life stuff.
If anything good comes out of this, I'd hope it is the death of open office spaces and routinely cramming as many people into a single office as possible. I don't have my hopes up though.
"If you are >65, have lots of health issues, & don't tell your family if you want to be kept alive on a ventilator, you will be tortured to death on a ventilator."

Unemployment is ALREADY at the 2007 peak. (Incredible!)
Fed is buying 1 TRILLION Treasuries A DAY.
(world GDP is 80 Trillion for scale)
My bet is on stagflation.
Wait, covid dies with ordinary soap, but needs like 120 proof vodka to kill it? Is this the first alcoholic virus?
I'm giving up my outside run. Streets & parks are too crowded around here.
Ran a bit under 1 mile with the 7 year old in the condo, room to room, to room, around & around.
On my own, I did 30 min of 1st cardio video on youtube.
#maven #java Is the .m2 folder like a .NET GAC? If app A installs a dependency, D to it, and then in app B, you are attempting to compile and the pom.xml doesn't specify D, but needs it to compile, is it in scope?
or in python terms, does that .m2 folder act as a python system installation?

I'm late to the UBI convo. I can see it is incredibly inefficient (giving $1000 to Bezos too!) I can imagine that that is the cost of getting permission to give $1000 to the poor without the poor having to prove that they are Noble, Pure of Heart, Deserve it, & are "just like me"
I got FOMI- fear of missing in. Just keep me out of everything, please.

So many charts I see are cases, but in places like US where there is negligible testing, it is the deaths, covid & unknown pneumonia that I want to know about. Those are objective.
Does Tesla's HEPA air filters help against corona? Maybe, maybe not:
- positive air pressure - point to Tesla
- filter vs corona size - point to Virus
- sealed cabin - point to Tesla
- model 3 - doesn't have HEPA, point to virus.

I have a box of cheapo masks I bought years ago. I will be wearing them outside.
I can't believe we stigmatized mask wearing at the beginning of a plague. All other countries are telling people to wear masks if they have them. Hoarding hospital grade is a different story.

I bought my bottle of Icelandic Vodka a long while ago-- turns out it is not coronavirus compliant, has 40%, needs 60%. Which brand should I be looking for next time we brave a trip to the booze store?

4 million older votes disappearing in the next year is going to be a huge shift in the electorate. Have the polisci people already worked out the implications?
