'Rona Roundup: President Considering Mask-Wearing Guidelines; NYC Hospitalizations Fall; President Considers Quarantining NY and NJ
Judge frees illegal alien alleged murderer over fears he might catch the Chinese Flu.
This is NYC. You can't quarantine this place fast enough.A Manhattan judge on Thursday ordered the release of a career criminal charged with stabbing his girlfriend to death out of concern he could contract coronavirus at Rikers, the Post has learned. State Supreme Court Justice Mark Dwyer freed Pedro Vinent-Barcia, 63, and 15 other inmates after the Legal Aid Society filed a petition arguing that their detention exposed them to serious medical harm in the midst of a pandemic sweeping through city jails. Prosecutors objected, citing the brutality of the crime and the defendant's criminal record. Assistant DA Patricia Bailey said Vinent-Barcia terrorized Bernice Rosado for months before tracking her to a cellphone repair shop in Harlem on June 29, 2018, and repeatedly stabbing her in the chest and back. The gruesome attack was captured on surveillance video and witnessed by numerous bystanders, according to court papers. After cops nabbed him, he allegedly asked, "Is she dead? I hope so." The prosecutor told Dwyer that Vinent-Barcia was arrested in Florida for stabbing another girlfriend in 1993 and biting off a piece of her ear.

I forget which pill is which.
The gist of it, of course, is that some of us are living in the matrix, and some people have awakened (which is not the same as being woke).
Society is turning on more and more to the notion that our reality is not what it seems, and there are so many aspects of what we do that seem to have been intentionally managed so as to put people into deeper and deeper sleep.
Is it a good thing if people wake up? That's an open debate, but the world sure does look awfully different when you sorta start with the assumption that NOTHING we are told is the truth, and everything is masking something else.
So yay, 2020.

I have some close relations who have always been "jocks" for lack of a better word, and who have been full time into the Sports world. Work in it, eat it, live it sleep it, watch it, to the exclusion of almost everything else, sports has been their entire world.
It never once occurred to them, not once in their lives, that the entire sports world could just be turned off, like flipping a light switch. Now they are desperately racing to try to understand a world they've never even tried to pay attention to before.

It is nuts to me how long some commutes are on the coasts. I knew a guy who worked in the financial district in NYC and lived in PA. About a 90 mins commute each way via train and then a drive from the station to home. And I was like WTF? But then realized that is not uncommon. Still Obama e though as far as Im concerned.

Two school districts by me have changed to four-day weeks in the last 15 years. Test scores went up. We have been homeschooling for seven years. My daughter gets to go to private Catholic school next year in part because she scored above all the other students in English on their placement test, which scored her a scholarship. My eldest (autistic) daughter got a 29 on her first attempt at the ACT. The WaPo is shakin' in their boots at the thought that some folks might find out what my former teacher brother eventually understood: The less time your kid spends in a traditional classroom, the better they will do.

You can make your own masks almost as good as the N95s that will block out at least 90% of particles. Cut up old tee shirts to the that will cover your mouth and nose, take vacuum bags and cut them up to the same size, put the tee shirts on either side of the vacuum bag pieces, staple them together, use string or anything to tie it around your face. You have a reusable mask for when you go shopping or get in crowds. Just leave in the sun when you get home and spray with Lysol.
Posted by: it begins... at March 28, 2020 02:56 PM (lBCgE)
well you can say that but I don't think many of you understand the police power of the government in an emergency -- a power that existed before the Constitution as well as after it.
I also don't think you understand that mask-wearing is an ALTERNATIVE to shutting everything down. South Korea stayed almost completely open-- they just wore masks when going back and forth to work.
If that's too much of an infringement of your liberty, well, whatever.
But I would note that the power to jail/quarantine people who refuse reasonable restrictions during an epidemic is older than the Magna Carta.
Oh one more thing: It's easy to get masks. Have you even bothered LOOKING?

There actually is a bit of truth to this. See the pictures of the PM of Slovakia, in her matching dress and mask. It looks great, even Chess Thread worthy, but when you see her without a mask, you realize she's not as pretty as you'd imagined, although she's still attractive. Imagination is a powerful aphrodisiac.

and most of them, from current observation, will not wear masks properly anyway, so they will do no good. i'm allergic to kabuki theater, in all forms, but especially so when it comes to healthcare issues.
hand sanitizer is another bad joke: if your hands do not stay wet for at least 20-30 seconds, you ain't sanitizing anything, just drying out your skin.

I forget what my SAT score, but I remember it was considered quite high at the time, under the old system of scoring.
I DO remember I got a 34 on ACT.
I got 5s on all three of my AP exams.
I had a 3.8 GPA (again, back when 4.0 was the max, unlike now when you get a 5.8 or some shit, as long as you do AP and stuff).
I wasn't eligible for a single damn scholarship at my University. All they offered me was credit for the AP exams. Not a penny more than that.
How do people get these "academic scholarships," anyway? I was never clear on that point.

there can be more instruction, but even imperfectly worn, they do SOME good. Same with hand sanitizers ... depends on the strength ... or soap and water, 20 seconds and brush under fingernails is better, but 10 seconds may be enough 95% of the time.
It won't be perfect sterile technique ... it will be pretty clean technique. I still haven't found more solid "science" on this, but I'm pretty sure "dosage" of initial inoculum makes a big difference. Perfection can be the enemy of the good enough.

A 28 or better at most places these days gets you an automatic half-tuition scholarship. 32 is more, but I don't know how much more. That's just from her recruiting emails that we've gotten from the universities that got her scores.
Back in the previous century, I paid for all of my education in college, and 95% of it was cash. No scholarships since my grades were terrible in high school, although my SAT score was nothing to sneeze at. But I could get a year of college for about $2k at a major university. That's basically a class now. I think the scholarships for those that can tie their shoes without help have increased as the tuition has. Like Insty says, if you pay the sticker price, you're the chump.

That was not my experience. Since most places look at your family income, and mine was reasonably high, it was very difficult to get scholarships, despite my kids being academically stellar. Granted, they went to good schools, where they don't have to try as hard to attract talent.

Somewhere between 2-3/% per year growth. Or my math is wrong.

WTAF?
I forget what my SAT score, but I remember it was considered quite high at the time, under the old system of scoring.
I DO remember I got a 34 on ACT.
I got 5s on all three of my AP exams.
I had a 3.8 GPA (again, back when 4.0 was the max, unlike now when you get a 5.8 or some shit, as long as you do AP and stuff).
I wasn't eligible for a single damn scholarship at my University. All they offered me was credit for the AP exams. Not a penny more than that.
How do people get these "academic scholarships," anyway? I was never clear on that point.
Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice
Don't even talk to me about scholarships. I got absolutely zero scholarships or financial aid of any kind in college, despite having SAT scores through the roof and being absolutely penniless without a dime of support from parents. Other 18-year-olds I knew from school all were bragging about all the scholarships and financial aid they had landed, despite them all being totally spoiled rich kids with every aspect of their lives being paid for by mom and dad, including all college expenses -- and they all had worse SAT scores than me too.
I asked them how they had managed to get all those payouts, and in reply they were more confused than I was, asking back: How could you NOT get them?
Well, I said, I filled out the forms....
They laughed. Wait -- YOU filled them out?
Uh, yeah -- I filled them out. Is there some other way to do it?
More laughter. Of course, you idiot -- if you yourself fill them out, you'll never get any money. You let the pros fill them out.
The pros?
Yeah, the professional "mentors" and "counselors" your parents hire who know all the tricks and gimmicks to getting maximum financial aid and scholarships.
Me: Well, what does it matter who fills out the form -- the info you fill in is always gonna be the same.
Doubling over in laughter now: You fool! No one tells the truth on the forms! You need the pros to tell you exactly what numbers and lies to put on them! You told the TRUTH??? Hahahahaha!"
It was at that moment that I began hating all humanity and have never stopped since.

I had good grades, but I'm leery of them vs. standardized testing.
The test tells you whether the kid is smart. The grades tell you whether or not the kid liked going to High School.
If a student is motivated for college, smart works just fine on its own. When you put a gun to a smart kid's head and force him to spend four years in a child-prison where dreams go to die, he may well perform poorly in that environment.
I only got good grades to keep my parents off my ass. Given my own preference I would have ditched school every single day.

would not be a big deal even if they did. There is so much information and so many books that if you don't know the material pretty well, you're not going to be able to search for it during an exam.
if you knew part of a case name but not the full name or proper name, yeah, that would help, but then, knowing the exact case name isn't such a huge thing.
the only area I can think of this being helpful in is in local civil procedure, which is mostly "you have 21 days to issue a reply and 14 days from receipt of the reply to issue a surreply" and very detailed nits like that. It would help with that stuff.

It seems to me that if general population wearing surgical masks were to be effective, as is being alleged in regard to S. Korea, it should be implemented early in the course of the outbreak, not at this stage, when most European countries are showing signs of peaking and beginning to decline, with the U.S. perhaps 10-14 days behind that. If the wearing of masks is just a fig leaf (of sorts) to allow people to get out and about, so be it, but I don't think it will change the trajectory of the epidemic much at this stage.
I don't think we can discount other factors in the trajectory of S. Korea's apparent success.

I'd heard one reason they were buying up corporate (and municipal?) bonds (as the path to push liquidity) was that it was less of a giveaway ... bonds have to be repaid (barring bankruptcy I guess).
BUT that is not even the $2T I think ... the ~$6T in QE is a whole nuther monster, that is "covertly" pushing its nose under the tent. But I'm still wondering if as with TARP, it is needed to save us from "collapse" .. which is (conspiracy music gets louder) ... the globalist plan of attack on sovereignty.

Because -- you know that your notes, your notebooks, the stuff you bring to the exam, will substantially effect your grade.
So that really forces you to be methodical and complete in your note-making and outline-making.
So: You basically teach yourself the material while making your notebooks and outlines.
And then during the test you don't look at your notes much (because you don't have time -- you either remember or you don't). but the process of making the notebooks has forced you to know most of your material.

You must have grown up in a different world from me. Grades might indicate that you were good at school, but (even back in my day) they also were likely to indicate that you were in a preferential minority group ushered through school with inflated grades in mick classes and private tutors paid for by the district who hand-hold you through every test. Nowadays this is even more commonplace, but it started long long ago in "progressive" school districts. At my school one kid won the "Student of the Year" award because (repeat: BECAUSE) he was illiterate and yet was so brave to "keep trying" and not drop out of school. His GPA was 3.9+.
Illiterate.

I was witness to a pneumonia death, which included the medically-induced coma and intubation. And then there was brain damage due to either the coma or a long loss of oxygen, and doctors said that even if the person ever came out of the coma, it would be as a near-vegetable.
And then eventually the person was left to just die.
It's a very bad kind of death.

My suspicion is that is one reason the U.S. has higher daily rate of new cases than every country in Europe. The geographic extent of the U.S. with multiple population centers is causing what you describe.
Another possible factor is the extent of actual testing (and reporting) giving an elevated count of cases, including less symptomatic cases. Different methodologies give different results.

Bailouts for commercial real estate will increase.
okay, well, I meant to ask my friend about that, but he was downloading all of his fear and stress. He might have overlooked some positive things for the drama.
He did seem pretty relieved about the Trump business bailout, where the loans don't have to be repaid if you just keep paying your employees. (That is, loan amounts spent on payroll are noncrecoverable.)

My business partner and I were literally right in the middle of our first round of financing when the world shutdown. Our current daily expenses are pretty light but we need the money to keep going and to really launch the business. We also have some substantial expenses that can't be extended for things like patent renewals in numerous countries.
Needless to say we have no idea if and when the investor sector will reopen so we are teetering on extinction. It also doesn't help that our biggest customers are large cities and municipalities including London and NYC, both of which are closed.
Nothing like adding a little stress and anxiety to an already stressful and anxious time.

First thing that came to my mind when I heard about prisoners being released is the scene in Batman Begins. Where they deliberately released the prisoners, because they wanted the drug they were releasing into the city to affect the bad guys and cause chaos to destroy the city.
In this case, we have a virus that is in America's cities, so what better way to spread it even more than to release a bunch of criminals who refuse to obey laws and 'stay-at-home' orders.
Ironically, in Batman Begins, the solution was to blow up the bridges to keep people from leaving the city to limit the spread.

By the way I think the CDC is wrong to tell people not to wear masks since their reasoning seems to be "they don't fully protect but will give you a false sense of security." I get that, but something in front of your mouth and nose can't not be better than nothing at all.

All the Asia pictures in my mind at least, have the mask but not eye protection ... except maybe normal % with glasses. Just guessing, masks and hand washing are more vital than catching the stray virus particle (viron?) in the eye ... more likely it gets pushed there by a finger. There must be Real Science on all that, even if there is some variation for each virus.

1) If they're employed and collecting their normal check, no change in rent.
2) If they got laid off and provide written documentation: April rent is deferred until they can collect unemployment, and then it will be split up among the rest of the rent payment for the year.
None of my properties are in a position where I need to worry about paying the mortgage. I did tell my tenants however that major maintenance issues may take longer to be addressed - so far none have complained.
I spoke to my lender this past week and they said they can work with me if my tenant situation puts the loans under stress. I've been a really good source of revenue for my (local) lender and there's a lot of motivation on his part to keep these properties in my possession.

The rules differ from place to place in the country, BTW.
Where daughter is --- a very low risk area ---masks are only legally required on public transportation, I think, and for food handlers. But many people, especially the elderly, wear them anyway.
They DO quarantine outsiders, though. If you travel from Seoul or certain other (relative) hotspots to a cool-spot, they will make you stay home for a while. (It was two weeks when I last heard.)
And they can take your temperature at will --- on the street, in a store, at a park, at school. Anywhere, anytime.

They not only published the locations of where infected people had been they provided an app with live mapping.
They gave out specific information about locations and published the locations of transmission clusters so that people could not only avoid contact risk at those known locations but also could self report for testing if they were exposed to those locations.
South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore did this. They used cell phone location data, credit card data and other data stripping it of personal identification and then publishing it.
Masks was only one of the components. Wide testing capacity with little to no barriers to testing, publication of locations and specific transmission clusters and mask wearing.
South Korea and Singapore also did do localized lockdowns with deep cleaning. South Korea did lock down of the city of Daegu in addition to all the above measures. And the US military did lockdowns of our bases in South Korea.
South Korea and Taiwan also provided live maps of where masks would be in stock so people would not have to risk exposure to multiple locations trying to hunt for them. Singapore provided four free masks per family a week IIRC.
Probably the most important factor is detailed information about the specific locations and associations of transmission clusters.

The rules differ from place to place in the country, BTW.
Where daughter is --- a very low risk area ---masks are only legally required on public transportation, I think, and for food handlers. But many people, especially the elderly, wear them anyway.
They DO quarantine outsiders, though. If you travel from Seoul or certain other (relative) hotspots to a cool-spot, they will make you stay home for a while. (It was two weeks when I last heard.)
And they can take your temperature at will --- on the street, in a store, at a park, at school. Anywhere, anytime.

This is a very good point to remember. The Left likes to demonize companies over "too high" profit. But I imagine businesses that have been doing well with profit will have more in cash reserves and will be more able to withstand this hit to the economy.
That needs to be hammered home to the anti-business, class warfare people.
Also helpful would be to bring up Dave Ramsey's suggestion to build up a 3-6 month "emergency fund" for personal finances. i.e. a savings account where you have enough to cover your expenses for 3-6 months of no income.

Here's one version of their advice about facemasks:
If you are sick: You should wear a facemask when you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a healthcare provider's office. If you are not able to wear a facemask (for example, because it causes trouble breathing), then you should do your best to cover your coughs and sneezes, and people who are caring for you should wear a facemask if they enter your room. Learn what to do if you are sick.
If you are NOT sick: You do not need to wear a facemask unless you are caring for someone who is sick (and they are not able to wear a facemask). Facemasks may be in short supply and they should be saved for caregivers.

Allows me to restate one of my patented rants:
The fact that we have all this 27 genders nonsense (and Woke-ism in general) is proof that we are a wealthy and prosperous society that can tolerate idiots. If we were poor enough that people typically had to do productive work in order to survive, it would shut many of these parasites. In a perverse way, we should celebrate that Brie Larson and Talcum X thrive, because it means we are thriving too.

am glad you asked. Okay, you didn't ask, and it was a set up. YES you
can mess with the mask to make it seal better. You can use gel designed
to make snorkeling gear seal, or you can try Vaseline around the edges. I
would not suggest double stick tape unless you want to peel your face
off at the end of the day. And Vaseline might be kind of greasy. But
there are a number of products out there that could enhance the seal of
your "respirator."
Fantastic resource , Clyde . Thanks! Answered my biggest question ie to "rubber cement or not to rubber cement?"
