BrainstormNew from CNBC Health at 22:02 UTC: Global health experts tell Congress Trump's decision to cut ties with WHO is 'tragic,' 'deeply unwise': "You asked, Mr. Chairman, who's the fire department, who responds when there's an outbreak that threatens to become an epidemic," former U.S. Ambassador Jimmy Kolker said.

LjLfreelock, mjr[m]: can you read me from here? you've both been annoyed by the spam (like countless others i guess, but you've expressed it) and right now i am unable to even post messages from Riot because the client is too busy processing the spam, i think. i've tried to set the room to invite-only, but i don't know if that went through. can you respond?00:14
mjr[m]LjL: i can read you from here00:15
LjLmjr[m], is the spam ongoing?00:15
mjr[m]LjL: 00:15
mjr[m]still is00:15
LjLmjr[m], if the gateway made you a moderator, can you please ban the spammers (and if your client does that, remove the messages at the same time)? i'll try to get the situation back under control but right now what i do just seems to be ignored00:16
BrainstormNew from CNBC Health at 22:13 UTC: Dr. Anthony Fauci says U.S. coronavirus outbreak is 'going to be very disturbing,' could top 100,000 new cases a day: "We are now having 40 plus thousand new cases a day. I would not be surprised if we go up to 100,000 a day if this does not turn around, and so I am very concerned," Fauci said. → https://is.gd/AvbyAK00:16

LjLmjr[m], thanks, i have just been "doing" it too, at least from my Riot client's side it was showing the room as locked, the user(s) as banned, and now maybe finally all the posts as removed (but on the other hand, he's started inviting me to direct message...?! ugh), but still, messages i send don't seem to get through, or take a long time. i typed "test" a couple of minutes ago but it's still in light gray and i can't see it from IRC00:25

LjLi don't know what to do now though, obviously the room shouldn't stay invite-only on the Matrix side, but that spammer seemed to have no intention to stop, and i asked #matrix:matrix.org if that's the place to get help with a situation like this, but no reply so far00:44
LjLon irc i'd have an idea or two of how to at least mitigate it00:44

See https://offloop.net/covid19/?default=World for time series data.00:57
slondrWoah, since when is this room invite-only?00:58
LjLslondr, since a few minutes ago. i had to do it because of unrelenting spam, if you see above i had to ask mjr[m] to intervene because my client was just frozen from trying to auto-remove all the messages00:58
LjLand by messages i mean hundreds of pictures00:58
slondroh shit damn 00:59
LjLi've asked #matrix:matrix.org if they can help me with this kind of thing but got no response, not sure if there's a better place to get admin attention00:59
LjLi'd know how to deal with this sort of thing on the IRC side at least to some extent00:59
LjLbut right now for instance, on IRC i'd know how to make the channel invite-only but at the same time those who try to join without an invite would be sent into a fallback channel where the topic explains the situation00:59
LjLno idea how to do any similar mitigation on Matrix01:00
tinwhiskersWonder why they never made it to irc?01:04
LjLtinwhiskers, yes, but i'm sure you're about to tell me01:06

BrainstormLjL: From www.abc.net.au: Australia to spend $270b building larger military to prepare for 'poorer, more dangerous' world and rise of China - ABC News02:19
LjLfucking seriously? not $270b for healthcare and replenishing the pocket of people now in jeopardy?02:19
LjLthe world is poorer? MAKE GUNS FOR IT02:19
PlanckWalkThey already are spending ~$400B on healthcare and support02:28
PlanckWalkAlso that $270B is over the next decade, not this year02:29
PlanckWalk(The $400B is this year)02:29
PlanckWalkWell, last financial year and this financial year considering that it just ticked over :)02:31
PlanckWalkThe headline is grossly misleading.  It reads like "$270B new military spending this year", when it's actually total spending over the next ten years.02:33
PlanckWalkI.e. not much more than previous decades02:33
LjLit says "Its budget was expected to grow to 2 per cent of Australia's gross domestic product by 2020-21, "equating to approximately $200 billion in Australia's defence capability over 10 years", making the new announcement an increase of $70 billion to the department."02:37
LjLso yeah, headline is headline02:37
LjLbut if 70 billion is in one year, that's not peanuts either...? or am i misreading that too02:38
PlanckWalkNo, the extra $70B is over 10 years02:38
PlanckWalkStill not peanuts, but much less than implied.02:38
LjLah02:39
PlanckWalkThe usual spending has been just under 2% GDP (~$20B/year), the new commitment is about 2.6% GDP02:40
PlanckWalk~30% increase is still quite a lot02:41

ryoumathis interstate travel ban is new right?02:56
ryoumaquarantine, whatever02:56
LjLryouma, well NY started a while ago, for some measure of a while02:57
LjLdays, weeks, honestly i don't remember02:57
BrainstormNew from The Guardian: Victoria: Coronavirus Australia update: Melbourne's hotspot suburbs in lockdown as Victoria struggles to contain outbreak – live news → https://is.gd/EMln0s02:59
ryoumaLjL: i meant compared to e.g. ny peak03:03
ryoumai guess china probably had intra-national borders but anyplace else?  northern italy vs. southern?03:03
LjLryouma, italy just had borders between every municipality and then every region until recently03:09
LjLit was a crime to cross region boundaries03:09
ryoumawow03:09
LjLspain was similar03:09
ryoumaif betweene very municipality then why also region03:10
LjLnot sure about france and the uk, probably not to the same extent03:10
LjLryouma, because there were different exceptions03:10
LjLremember we were under lockdown in the first place for most of that time03:10
ryoumais the usa shutting down commerce between states by doing this?  that's like destroying the bible or something.03:10
LjLso we couldn't really be outside *anywhere* without a reason written on a police form03:10
LjLwhich is, by the way, the real meaning of "lockdown", not the watered-down meaning often used in the US03:10
ryoumaok so it was complex03:10
ryoumawatered-down meaning what no sanctions?  no papers checked?03:11
ryoumathere are loose sanctions now i think03:11
LjLryouma, if i wanted to buy groceries, i had to compile a form and state so. if police stopped me, i had to show it. but the grocery store had to be in the same municipality. except, if i could show i lived much closer to the store in another municipality, then i could have an exception for that. except, regional boundaries were off-limit even in that case03:11
ryoumai sohuldn't say what idk.  there are sanctions supposedly now03:11
LjLplus, when they lifted the rule about municipalities, they didn't immediately lift the one about regions03:12
LjLnow i don't really remember the timeframe, but it was at least some 15 days03:12
ryoumathe police were srsly busy!03:12
ryoumait sounds like03:12
LjLryouma, i mean that in much of the US it's just about commercial and work activities, rather than people just not being allowed to be outside except for compelling reasons03:12
ryoumaright03:12
ryoumaessential workers vs. not03:12
ryoumaand certain businesses closed is all03:13
LjLryouma, well i don't know how busy they were, but the few times i went out during those times, police and public transport were the *only* vehicles on the streets pretty much03:13
LjLby foot, if you looked busy and you didn't look 90, you'd probably be left alone03:13
LjLbut if you were walking leisurely, or with other people, or so, they'd question you03:13
LjLand cars would very likely get pulled over03:13
ryoumaso they cared about elderly wandering around without knowing the problem?03:13
LjLessential workers would have to show their badge and a letter by the employer03:13
LjLryouma, i don't know if they cared per se, but it was just more likely they weren't outside for work-related reasons03:14
LjLryouma, in the US you cannot really close interstate borders without declaring martial law for real, but i guess these quarantines don't technically violate freedom of movement03:14
LjLi mean maybe they genuinely cared too, but *i* don't care much for the police, so i may be biased on their motives03:15
LjLanyway, if you didn't realize parts of europe, at least parts, were locked down *like this*, well maybe that explains why the US is doing much worse with COVID than Europe03:16
LjLpeople are saying we reopened too early, but really most states didn't even really really close03:16
LjLChina locked down even harder than Europe (maybe too hard, i am prepared to admit), and they controlled it better03:16
LjLnot much of a pattern, but03:16

Haley[mt][m]Almost no one dies from Covid-19. Covid-19 only enables other diseases to kill the patient. Call it an enhanced "natural selection process" (which the modern medicine prevented for so many years).09:50
darsieHaley[mt][m]: Got more concete numbers or sources?09:51
Haley[mt][m]If you check all the news you read left and right about it. Almost no one dies from the virus alone. All the ones dying have other causes of death. 09:53
Haley[mt][m]I don't have sources at hand. But read through the many articles you have on the Guardian, Le Monde etc. to check it out. I read papers in 5 languages - so I don't have to trust translations from one language to another etc.09:54
darsieI do'nt read all the news.09:54
Haley[mt][m]Thing is - if they detect the Covid-19 antibodies in your blood post-mortem, they assume that Covid-19 enabled the other "issue" to kill you by keeping your body defense busy or inactive or whatever.09:55
darsieI heard that about HIV.09:56
Haley[mt][m]yes. Very similar indeed.09:56
Haley[mt][m]Only HIV does spread through blood transfer. Whereas Dovid-19 needs a simple cough or touching.09:57

Haley[mt][m]Took me a while to find one of these articles.10:05
Haley[mt][m]They go on how the Covid-19 kills. But if you look at the second part, they talk about the secondary conditions of those that are killed.10:06
Haley[mt][m]That is an old one. need to find something more recent, where they explicitely talk about these secondary conditions killing most of the Covid-19 infected.10:07

Of course most of the people dying do have underlying conditions. The question to ask is, if they would've died without COVID19. Of course this can be discussed. 10:20
Haley[mt][m]That is another question that statistic evaluation will tell us one day.10:21
alexander[m]3The connection between COVID19 and death is mostly clear. I don't see the point of arguing otherwise. Even if you introduce an error (which is likely, but can be accounted for), if everyone use the same criteria, its probably the best way to do this.10:22
Haley[mt][m]On the other hand, the US is a very good playground for metadata capture for that analysis.10:22
the-westhe same logic goes the other way; would they have died without the coexistant condition?10:22
Haley[mt][m]yep.10:27

alexander[m]3no. this are just wild hypotheses. Which is interesting to think about but does not really have a connection to our current issue. Also.

kreyren[m]Is there any known amount of SARS-CoV-2 particles in blood that have a chance of overwhelming the immune system causing the covid-19? 23:46
kreyren[m]nixonix I have zero trust in WHO for obvious reasons 23:46
nixonixyeah but thats the same than common expert view23:46
kreyren[m]Yep seems to be.. but then common experts usually quote WHO 23:47
LjLthe WHO is the authority to quote when you want to say we have no evidence of something23:47
LjLbecause it's pretty much the only thing they are able to state accurately23:47
kreyren[m]And mosguitos could trasnfer viruses like zika so I would think that being possible? 23:48
JennyRNLjL: aware of any data, of how many temperature checks catch active cases? fals positives/negatives?23:48
JennyRNI am seeing different information on percentages of covid+ with no symptoms, some saying its low, then recently that it's quite high23:49
tinwhiskersnixonix: it should already work with "by population". If not can you explain?23:49
kreyren[m]JennyRN, I was told that it could be anything from 15% to 80% depending on where do you perform those checks, but assuming covid having symtoms like fever mostly after 3 days I consider them very inaccurate.23:49
LjLJennyRN, i don't remember but there's certainly a... ballpark, 20%? of people with symptoms that don't include fever. plus, there's people who have no symptoms at all but may still be infectious23:49
LjLJennyRN, as to false positive, sure, you just have to have any other thing that gives you fever, and there's a lot of those23:50
Johannes_swethere where some specific reasons to why one can not get aids/hiv from a mosquito, they might apply to covid. damn would suck if we could randomly get aids from a mosquito haha23:50
kreyren[m]Dont quote me on that percentage though..i was told that by a worker who wasnt very sure about it either excluding the conclusion 23:50
tinwhiskersnixonix: it should take whatever settings you currently have selected but for the legacy dataset23:50
nixonixin may infectious dose (virions usually in nose or throat), was not known, but suspected to be very low23:50
LjLkreyren[m], hey it's not really my business but since i'm struggling with the Matrix bridge being seemingly buggy during a spam wave here... why on earth do you have a [m] suffix even though you're not using Matrix?23:51
tinwhiskersnixonix: Oh. I see what you mean. I'll check that out.23:51
kreyren[m]LjL, using IRC on a phone -> [mobile]23:52
LjLoho23:52
Johannes_swekreyren[m], any good irc clients these days? if you are on android that is?23:53
LjLi use Revolution IRC, certainly like it better than i'm liking Riot right now23:53
JennyRNso, if they stop everyone with a low grade fever, 15-80% of those have been covid+?23:54
kreyren[m]Johannes revolution IRC seems as the only usable on android but it doesn't have a nice way to support tor23:54
kreyren[m]Let me know if you find some alternative 23:55
LjLJennyRN, no23:55
Johannes_swei have no tor need, but will look at that one, thanks23:55
LjLJennyRN, you have that backwards i'd say. if you have covid, you have something like 15-80% chance of having a fever (i've usually read closer to the 80% side, or at least 60%, but i guess 15% includes asymptomatics), but that tells you nothing about the opposite scenario, i.e. if you have a fever, then what do you have23:56
LjLin most places, having a fever is probably much more likely to be a sign of any other flu-like illness (or even non-flu-like) than a sign you have covid23:56
tinwhiskersnixonix: ok, that's fixed now. Thanks for pointing it out.23:57
nixonixnp. i was used to the feature :)23:57
