You read that right! Now to find the list of all people who were badgering me to set-up a Keybase account...
If you're bored and looking for something to do, you could add contact information for your favorite local restaurants on #OpenStreetMap.

What's a #jitsi deployment got over #nextcloud talk?
#Italy has a modern healthcare system and 3.1 beds per 1000 people (US is at 2.7). Yet the sick are on army cots in a makeshift clinic that seems a throwback to 1918?
How did Italy run out of hospital beds so quickly?

@thrrgilag I've had to when doing remote field work 🤣
Resting after the most stressful week in a long time. Today WA closed all schools over COVID-19. Things feel surreal and like a movie. I am sad to see things come to pass the way I feared two weeks ago. Grocery and online stores are being ransacked. Guns and ammo are selling out. Distributors are selling out of goods. My next big fear is long isolation with desperation setting in leading to looting. It could lead to Martial Law. Hopefully not! 😅
The best prevention for Covid-19 is Social Distancing. This means manspreading is back in as a great way to sit when you are riding on public transit. ( Men can also now cough on any angry fat women with colored hair who yell at them. )

Had stuff delivered from near Seattle. Driver said was like day after the zombie apocalypse. What should have been 3+ hr trip was less than half. Said cops not pulling people over as they don't want to get it. No traffic for miles at a time. Welcome to new world.
The consequence of too much hysteria and not enough data: not every #COVID19 illness requires hospitalization. Proper resource allocations are crucial especially now.
Follow the data.
@avoiceofliberty Excellent article from Peter Nayland Kust. We can quell our fears by carefully interpreting the data provided by organizations like WA DOH. He talks about how anyone can follow the WA DOH Influenza Update as a proxy for possible #COVID19 outbreaks. Luckily, Snohomish County has not seen a surge of flu-like symptom visits to the ER until recently, visits to the ER there are increasing a little now. This is a huge relief for Washingtonian like myself.
The way to combat fear and hysteria over the #COVID19 #coronavirus is to use all the data available.
Follow the data. Forget the headlines.

Why tracking Influenza Like Illnesses is relevant. Washington State is now seeing a spike in ILI ER visits. This is to be expected from the #coronavirus case reports
It confirms ILI ER visits are a useable proxy for #COVID19

@avoiceofliberty Only widespread testing and documentation of symptoms would answer this question. South Korea is doing this and the fatality rate is decreasing because mild cases are being identified. Some are saying that children could be transmitters.
@avoiceofliberty cryptic transmission does not necessarily mean that the cryptic transmitters have flu like symptoms. Cryptic transmitters may not have any symptoms or very mild symptoms which doesn't warrant a ER visit.
