I would not get on a plane without an N95 mask and an awful lot of personal disinfectant. In fact I would probably put a cloth mask over the N95 mask. Even with that combination I might only get on an airplane unless I was reasonably convinced that no one was going to sit next to me, and I had no other option for essential travel. With all those contingencies driving the Tesla looks better and better. Won't get me to Europe but I think it's going to be my transportation in the US for quite a while

It is physically impossible to get Mercury from properly prepared fish oil. First of all they don't use species that are Mercury concentrators (shark tuna and swordfish and other fish at the top of the food chain) and the fish oil is distilled so that heavy metals are pulled out. It is the safest way to get Omega fats into your diet given the amount of mercury that is in some seafood.

new algorithm for the next 6-12 months:
while (karen.status() == "on_the_loose") {
if (time.now.day() == "sunday" && time.now.hour() == 6) {
food_shop();
} else {
hibernate();
}
}
(actually, needs a (time.week() % 2) == 0) patch since I'm only leaving the house every 2 weeks). too lazy to fix the code; someone else can, if they want

I do agree with you. Still, I will not avoid essential travel. We're well equipped with masks, sanitizers, surgical gloves and visors. Just because I am willing to travel does not mean I don't understand the risks. Luckily masks are mandatory where i live and all supermarkets have sanitisers and obsessive cart cleaning, which I repeat.

nothing wrong with mercury, I played with it as a kid alot.
and I didn't brain my damage.
- You are correct in the sense that Covid-19 is unlikely to wipe humanity off the planet.
- True is also that the evolution is not expected to be comparable to waves of pestilence in medieval times.
- Conversely I have not found recent support for your conclusion that covid-19 deaths are comparable to deaths from flu seasons.
It appears in particular that the data for flu-deaths and corona-19 deaths are not sampled via the same methodology and cannot be used directly.
Picking just one of the many studies:
COVID-19 Deaths Far Outpace Flu in 'Apples-to-Apples' Comparison
— Faulty comparisons between infections threaten public health, researchers argue.
Which mix of measures at regional or national level is then optimal in the interest of overall public health, is then a quite different question. There is still a lot to learn ahead of us.

I'm not sure where this store is located, but its not 'shopped' (you can tell from the pixels, right?)
since the content is 'not safe for work' (whatever that means, these days), if mods need to delete it, I'll understand.
that said, here's the current state of things, as seen from one storefront:

He's not pussy-footing around with any namby pamby wimpy liberal approach. Nope. But I bet there aren't too many "real 'Muricans" coming in with their flag bandanas and MAGA hats either, talkin' smack about "freedom" and how they are not not wearing any pinko commie faggot masks either.

P100 FTW! (though now that I look more closely that may not be a particulate filter, it's not pink).
Are you Latino?
All these resources are available in both English and Spanish: https://toolkit.covid19.ca.gov

I think accusing the governor and public employees of intentionally trying to bankrupt the state and kill people is pretty over the top. I am as disappointed in the response as much as anyone.

Wow. China has been Brazil's biggest trading partner for over a decade, and perhaps their biggest foreign investor and you believe that was done by telegrams? Nope.
Brazilian C19 is like Iran and Italy. Fresh from Wuhan daily.

Go to your California's Leading ... link and hit the CA webpage TRANSLATE button, and switch it to Spanish. Yes, I'm mixed blood. No it's not your business.
There is no actual response here that I've witnessed and we have a much heavier Latino pop than Gavin or SF. I was born in SD and was part of the 200th Birthday bash in '69.

Nextstrain shows it coming to Brazil almost entirely from Europe (auspice).
I was just curious because I personally don't consume Spanish language media. I really have no idea how well the county health departments are reaching those communities. It does seems like in every country on earth (with an epidemic) poorer communities are getting hit very hard. And of course the workers in nursing homes are from poorer communities.

OK, so the virus has to make a stop at the Chinese projects in North Italy and Iran, but the virus did not originate in Europe.
China has taken over as the largest developer of foreign projects.
America Is a ShamI won't get on a plane but I found it funny that the TSA will let you bring on a 12 ounce bottle of hand sanitizer now when the previous limit was a 1 ounce bottle.
Funny.
But actually mercury risk is highly overrated. More about mercury / selenium ratio. Most fish is fine... One fish around Japan is not

Nope, they will go here:
No masks allowed: stores turn customers away in US culture war
"...a Kentucky convenience store that put up a sign reading: “NO Face Masks allowed in store. Lower your mask or go somewhere else. Stop listening to [Kentucky governor Andy] Beshear, he’s a dumbass.”
Another sign was posted by a Californian construction store earlier this month encouraging hugs but not masks.
In Illinois, a gas station employee who put up a similar sign has since defended herself, arguing that mask-wearing made it hard to differentiate between adults and children when selling booze and cigarettes."
-----
"“I work for Costco and I am asking this customer to put on a mask because that is company policy,” says a Costco employee in one video. “And I’m not doing it because I woke up in a free country,” replies the man filming him."
Watch the Twitter video for some especially free people.
--------------
If I came upon a store that wouldn't allow me to wear a mask I'd go elsewhere.
I just wish the 'free people' would do the same instead of injuring or killing store employees.

odd demarcation there. Are you counting people that tried to get on a flight and go up? If so it's less than 30. You specifically used the phrase "5% of all people who attempted to go into space died." not all of those 30 were on a flight, some of those died in ground tests but they were not "attempting to go into space". The breakdown is
19 died in flight
11 died During training or testing
For example 4 of the US "astronauts" died in normal airplane flight unrelated to spaceflight. Sure their job title was astronaut, but they were just flying from one location to another just like anyone else at the time or since.
source, List of spaceflight-related accidents and incidents - Wikipedia
If you are going to count people related to the space programs that never tried to go to space you'd have a much larger number, for example 78 died in one incident in 1960 let alone the dozens of others that died in other years. You'd have to add 250-300 easily if you are trying to change your wording from "attempted to go into space".
Much simpler to limit your numbers to people that tried to go up. Include the ones that died on the test pad (for sure the 3 that died in the apollo program fire). But don't include people that died around the space program unrelated to going up if you are going to use that wording.
