What exactly does one go to Disney and do if you don't go I to one of the parks. Isn't thst jsut multiple vacations to Orlando??
Friend is a nurse at a stand alone ER clinic in Houston. today they tested 600 people. two needed to go to an icu unit immediately. No where in Houston available. Luckily they were able to send them to San Antonio. meanwhile police had to be called because they ran out of tests and people were fighting in the parking lot. the head nurse quit and walked out.
God damnit. We could have been Taiwan. We could have been #1! But we have dumb motherfuckers that won’t wear a mask. Damnit fuck!
I don’t understand the scalpers thing. What are they buying that you can’t buy for a normal MSRP online?
Oh this will be a nice little report for those that post Covid conspiracy theories on my Facebook feed. I really wouldn’t give a shit... but you know...this misinformation could kill members of my family and shit...
The more I read about Disney reopening the more I hate them. So many people coming from nearby states with their families during a time when Florida's dealing with crazy numbers of cases.... Encouraging interstate tourism during a global pandemic and putting their employees in harm's way in the process. Yikes
here's something that hasn't been publicized if you check the WDW IG story, they are sharing some bigger accounts talking about how great their safety has been for the re-opening when you go to those IG pages, you'll notice they are using the hashtag #hosted which means disney reached out to them and paid for their visits to come here and do that
fuck you The department estimates 8,000 inmates could be released by the end of August, providing they meet several criteria. Prisoners with a year or less left on their sentences are eligible for early release. Those with convictions of violent felonies and sex crimes are not.
Scientists confirming what was becoming increasingly obvious: Spoiler New research provides evidence that working memory is associated with engaging in social distancing in the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic. The new study has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. On March 11th, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus SARS‐CoV‐2 to be a global pandemic. Governments around the world urged people to follow preventive health measures such as frequent hand washing and physical distancing. But not everyone abided by the safety guidelines. “At the moment, successful containment of the COVID-19 outbreak critically relies on people’s voluntary compliance with social distancing guidelines. However, there is widespread non-compliance in our society, especially during the early stage of this pandemic (and more recently after reopening),” said study author Weizhen Xie (Zane), a postdoctoral research fellow at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. The researcher noted that there have been numerous media reports about Americans failing to physically distance themselves from one another in public spaces. “As a researcher in cognitive psychology, I feel that it is our duty to figure out why some people follow the developing norm of social distancing while others ignore it. Addressing this issue may help mitigate the current public health crisis due to the COVID-19,” Xie said. In two studies, the researchers surveyed 850 U.S. residents between March 13 and March 25, 2020 — the first two weeks following the U.S. presidential declaration of a national emergency about the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to collecting demographic information and assessing social distancing compliance, the surveys included assessments of working memory, personality, mood, and fluid intelligence. Xie and his colleagues found that those with better working memory capacity were more likely to indicate that they had followed social distancing guidelines, such as not shaking hands and avoiding social gatherings. “Our findings reveal a novel cognitive root of social distancing compliance during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said co-author Weiwei Zhang. The researchers also found that higher levels of fluid intelligence and agreeableness were associated with greater social distancing compliance. But the link between working memory and social distancing held even after controlling for these factors and others. Those with better working memory capacity also tended to view social distancing has having more benefits than costs and were more likely to have a preference for fairness during an Ultimatum Game, which partially explained the association. “The decision of whether or not to follow social distancing guidelines is a difficult one, especially when there is a conflict between the societal benefits (e.g., prevent staining public health resources) and personal costs (e.g., lost in social connection and financial challenges). This decision critically relies on our mental capacity in retaining multiple pieces of potentially conflicting information in our head, which is referred to as working memory capacity,” Xie told PsyPost. “Realizing this cognitive bottleneck, the bottom line is that we should not rely on people’s habitual following of a norm because social distancing is not yet adequately established in U.S. society. Policy makers should develop strategies to aid people’s decision by making information or debriefing materials succinct, concise, and brief.” As with all research, the study comes with a few caveats. “We expect that the contribution of working memory will decline as new social norms, such as wearing a mask or socially distancing, are acquired by the U.S. society over time,” Xie said. “Our observations are correlational in nature. It remains to be established whether or not certain strategies to break the cognitive bottleneck, such as working memory training and translational brain stimulation, could reduce social distancing non-compliance and subsequently mitigate a public health crisis.” The study, “Working memory capacity predicts individual differences in social-distancing compliance during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States“, was authored by Weizhen Xie, Stephen Campbell, and Weiwei Zhang
I know, right? Let's have death sentences by Covid for people with minor drug offenses. They're probably poor people of color anyway, they literally don't matter. I took the bait but fuck this dude forever.
He said they treat it like a lake house so I guess they go in there and get loaded on drugs and alcohol
If trump came on and said the country is shutting down for a month to actually bend the curve way down, mandatory mask everywhere, billions of dollars to schools to make them safer, and a strict, local criteria that needs to be met to open schools, I think it’s definitely possible. Some school districts can delay but we could all unite around that. instead we get word salad, more contradictions, no actual leadership, no national plan, and an absolute disaster dropped onto the lap of local school districts who have no clue what to actually do.
