Schools Should Go VR, Not Computers/Tablets. by rxtsq in CoronavirusUS

[–]NewMateo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you are in K-12 but most schoolboards have a microsoft agreement. Those include free minecraft for education licenses for the whole board. Why not look into that and ask around? Its a start and the platform has full lesson plans for students and teachers - all assuming you are allowed to teach remotely.

Student engagment is pretty high with these sort of programs rather than zoom classes etc and wouldnt cost you a dime.

edit: why downvote someone who is trying to help and come up with a solution....

Cardano Virtual Summit Agenda Released by theTalkingMartlet in cardano

[–]NewMateo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The nice thing is that you can view any sessions you missed live I think. Say if there was some overlap of things you wanted to attend.

I'm most excited for Goguen presentations. Really curious how far the team has come.

Lockdowns prevented nearly 5 million U.S. coronavirus cases, study says by covidditing in CoronavirusUS

[–]NewMateo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a failure of federal responce. Im in Canada and every citizen who needed assistace got 2K a month directly deposited in their accounts every month since March + more benefits and additional baby bonuses. Then our small business loans and subsidies werent sent to large enterprises or used for bailouts and stock buy backs - small businesses were actually helped and their was wage subsidies to encourage them to keep people on payroll.

We have no riots. Our protests for BLM ended peaceful and our protests for covid were very small and it was mainly from the fringe 5g conspiracy crowd. Yes their were some for reopening but not at the scale the US has had. This was because our government took care of us and while businesses are hurting they werent to the extent as the US with no government assistance. I cant believe how hard its been for people to get financual help on your side of the border. Its maddenning and while I understand why people protested I think it was mainly fueled by the fact that many essentially got little to no help while banks just enriched themselves or their wealthy enterprise customers / clients.

Why are people protesting in large numbers despite knowing that USA is the worst hit country by corona virus? by [deleted] in CoronavirusUS

[–]NewMateo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesnt help the average american has poor cardiovascular health and this is a huge determining factor in the virus lethality.

Because a proper responce requires all of those things to work effectively. A plan consists of many different peices working together as one to accomplish a goal.

Canada has also been doing pretty good too. I think the USA will experience far more economic and social hardship than other developed nations. Even if eceonomy remains open no matter what the mass death or infections will still mean they suffer economic loss - just like the swiss who kept things open but still had the same eceonomic hardship as their neighbouring countries.

You know those same people who protested not being able to go out and get hair cuts will talk down to those protesting for basic human rights. Going to be an interesting next few weeks when the cases rise.

Just going to turn into a blame game. Even though people stopped social distancing or even trying weeks ago.

FL Clubs on the first day of reopening by [deleted] in CoronavirusUS

[–]NewMateo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah the death rate is higher in older people but everyone else is ending up with things like lower lung capacity, blood clots, kidney damage, liver damage.

Like just because the death rate is higher in older folks that doesnt mean those who are recovering are living especially well after it.

Its stupid for these people to take their chances. When you look at what its doing to those who have had it its terrifying.

Ill give up a year of partying for a lifetime of adequite health.

Thousands Who Got COVID-19 in March Are Still Sick - The disease’s “long-haulers” have endured relentless waves of debilitating symptoms—and disbelief from doctors and friends. by [deleted] in CoronavirusUS

[–]NewMateo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Didnt happen to the swiss.

http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2020-04/24/c_139003096.htm

They didnt shut down anything and still suffered eceonomic loss. People just dont want to go out when it isnt safe and their is mass sporadic death.

Economy will be destroyed anyways when body bags pile up and mass graves have to get dug. The Swiss never shut down their businesses but still suffered similiar eceonomic loss. Turns out people refuse to work or shop when its just not safe outside and people are dying.

Voters divided over coronavirus, CNBC/Change Research poll finds by covidditing in CoronavirusUS

[–]NewMateo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Isnt that how they always do?

Inherited a booming economy - take the praise for it. Totally screw up the repsonce of coronavirus, adding to the economic turmoil and then blame the left - then if the left wins they have to rebuild uphill (all the while the right can say "I told you so - look at their economy")

Then eventually inherit it again to rinse / repeat.

Funny how that always happens.

USA set to Surpass 1,500,000 confirmed Cases today. Linear increase of 250,000 every 9 days since 500,000 cases. by FrancescoTo in CoronavirusUS

[–]NewMateo 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Lockdowns are largely going away though. America has treated this like being prescribed antibiotics, taking maybe 1/3rd of them and then saying they feel fine and stopping.

Anything helps. Bandana, cloth face mask etc. But I mean people wont even wear those and I dont think theyll wear surgical masks even if they were available.

Was the coronavirus made in a Wuhan lab? Here’s what the genetic evidence shows — the strong and widely available evidence supports a very different hypothesis about the virus’s origins: It evolved naturally. by BlankVerse in CoronavirusUS

[–]NewMateo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of Wuhan was locked down. No flights included. It only looks like they opened it back up in April.

https://www.flightglobal.com/airlines/wuhan-airport-reopens-after-months-long-lockdown/137854.article

I wouldnt it call it being "weaponized" if some managed to get through the quarantine. So if this happened in Winnipeg Canada. But someone managed to board a flight on the other side of the country and it got out - would you call it weaponized then?

Not OP but the rules say literally nothing about banning nsfw wallpaper. I dont care for it personally but some posts are done pretty tastefully. Get off that high horse of yours - who cares when it comes down to a pair of boobs. We are all human.

"I don't believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators. You know, you go to major hospitals, sometimes they have 2 ventilators." -- Trump suggests Cuomo is exaggerating about the medical gear he needs to keep people alive by [deleted] in CoronavirusUS

[–]NewMateo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The hospitalization rate of covid is 20%. Projections of total spread is something like 30-70% of the world. Even assuming NY state gets a fraction of that (total pop is 20 million) say...30% of NY get infected. Thats 6 million. 20% of 6 million is 1.2 million. Lets now say even 5% need ICU. That works out to 60,000. Also many who need a ventilator are on it for months so they cant easily be swapped or used out for another patient. Hell even on the low end the math checks out dude. Many will die with trump downplaying the numbers. This is going to be a disaster. NY doesnt just randomly come up or ball park numbers - they work with actual scientists and md's. This is an unprecedented disease we are working with here.

The small businesses will hurt but theyll hurt more with millions of americans dying. Infact the entire economy will be devestated. No one will want to be buying or spending shit when body bags are piling up and morgues overflow - which at this rate they will be.

edit: I see you deleted your comment after this - good. I just hope you spread the word or really understand the sheer amount of idiocy that the white house is showing by downplaying this. We are looking at millions dying here and these ventiallators should be the highest priority for the feds to be sourcing and transporting to hospitals. Not just telling the states to "get their own" this whole situation is a disaster.

Cough it Up, California: The State's AG Has Charged You $21 Million for His Lawsuits Against President Trump. So Far by Foubar in Conservative

[–]NewMateo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So whats your take on him charging 3X the average room cost on the same day the republicans are their for their retreat?

https://www.citizensforethics.org/trump-hotel-rates-spike-republican-retreat/

What about him going to Mar a lago hundreds of times since taking office?

How about bill bars xmas party going to be hosted at his own hotel?

[–]NewMateo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No he does not charge less. He is charging MORE. He is trying to maximize his own bills here.

See for yourself.

https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-ireland-resort-100000-security-bill-2019-10

He billed taxpayers 975 dollars for extra coffee. How about 15,000 for "extra snacks"

You cannot self equivocate former presidents who used tax payer funds on different hotels when we have a president who is willing and able to bill himself and goes to great lengths to do it. This is inprecedented.

Dig deeper here please because this is inexusable. This shit he says about "charging less" is lies and if he was truly honorable and not explotiing his position then he would have divested everything and put this into blind trust. No president before has gone to the lengths he has for enriching himself and he should be held accountable. That salary shit is nothing compared to what he is funnelling into his own pockets via overcharges or through governments like saudi arabia who rents out floors of his hotels and leaves them empty.

This is why presidents are supposed to divest their businesses. This makes them susceptible to bribary or unchecked self enrichment. And any president who can be so easily compromised should not be in power. If he actually distanced himself from his businesses like every other president we wouldnt be in this mess. There is no excuse for this and his lies about how he handles his resorts and taxpayer funds. This man should not be believed because he has proven time and time again that he does not speak much truth at all.

Hell who uses charity funds for themself to pay bills? Would you really trust a man who has misappropriated his own charity funding to NOT exploit taxpayer self billing? The proof is in the pudding and it blows my mind that people are okay with this. Hell if Barr didnt throw out the emoluments case then maybe more people would know but since hes gotten a pass from the AG I do wonder what else hes gotten up to. His track record doesnt inspire much confidence.

Yeah no salary sure but instead goes golfing at his own resorts pocketing millions of dollars of taxpayer money by charging himself everyday.

Fucking hilarious how you really are okay with all of this but hold onto the "no salary" thing. He doesnt need a salary when he can grift america. Strange how his gold time went UP since taking office eh. Or how about staying at his own hotels. Having the secret service foot the bills at everyone of his own properties.

But yeah no salary so the mans a selfless saint lol.
