Where's the petri dish thread?
Re: Where's the petri dish thread?
This is one aspect of the whole thing that has received far too little attention: food processing.
https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2020/03/24/thi ... -concerns/
If they shut down processing plants -- or if they can't keep them running because they can't take proper care of their employees -- the cascade of issues will be immense. A plant like this probably processes 50,000 chickens/week?
Shit show if they shut down -- all up and down the food-supply chain.

Yeah. I think that's right. But I don't think that's what trad meant.Vega wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 5:44 pmYoung folks aren't taking it serious. Average age in the park was probably 23-25. Median age might have been less than that. I live near Columbia, so I might have skewed numbers. Can only report what I see in my neighborhood.DCHawk1 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 5:39 pmSo...yer sayin' all the right-wingers in NYC are fucking this up?TraditionKU wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 5:38 pm the demographics and political leanings of those who take it seriously and those that don’t are hilariously scary

I know you think it's hi-larious (and sad at the same time) that the dum Red Staters don't take this seriously.
But I think you put too much stock in the musings of a senior editor at a magazine owned by the Emerson Collective.

i’m looking for the data and can’t seem to find it right now, but the polling i saw indicated that women were more concerned than men (not really surprising) and that blacks were more concerned than any other race
Re: Where's the petri dish thread?
Maybe that explains why more men are dying from it.

I think Ezekial has taken undeserved shots for speaking in evidence-based terms over saying what's popular in the past. But he's generally right. Like here.

Re: Where's the petri dish thread?
Nice to see someone speak decisively about what needs to be done, for a change. I think he spoke more comprehensively about a plan in that one article than all the information that's been disseminated at all the WH briefings, put together.Mjl wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 8:46 pm I think Ezekial has taken undeserved shots for speaking in evidence-based terms over saying what's popular in the past.

Re: Where's the petri dish thread?
It’s just not realistic. You can’t lock people down for two or three months and expect there to be anything left when it is over. People can’t go that long without an income. People who live alone can’t go that long without seeing family and friends. Heck, even the prison system doesn’t allow criminals to be placed in solitary confinement for that long.Mjl wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 8:46 pm I think Ezekial has taken undeserved shots for speaking in evidence-based terms over saying what's popular in the past.

No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
John Donne
