I have a Mac Mini with upgrades and a 4K monitor waiting.

Also, working on a boro water cooled virtualization/workstation dual EPYC that I've been piecing together before AMD made the press rounds. I'm supposed to have a dual CPU & VRM waterblock but the seller has been deflecting, dodging and dicking around for 4 months... they only mailed half of it.

10 "in stock," $3,124.01 each.

There's also another model MCV200, 10 "in stock," $5,091.71 each.

Anyone got $95 grand lying around?

Edit: btw, in 2006/2008, the AARC recommended to the White House and/or HHS to buy 10k additional ventilators for the SNS, but the govt failed to do so. Now, the US, is for lack of better adjectives, royally-proper fucked.

It's not a vaccine but it seems possible to prevent infection and possibly halt illness. That is, if it doesn't have any yet unknown, horrible side-effects.

Furthermore, infection rates in the US aren't being tracked so the CFR denominator is completely unknown.

And, focusing on CFR alone is myopic because of the serious, potentially permanent lung damage that occurs from this virus in those who have "mild" symptoms. There are a plethora of reports of unknown-lasting reductions in lung function by 20-30%.

While there are 140k respiratory therapists in the US, not all of them work in intensive care or hospitals. Nurses are also required to staff an ICU ward.

All of this is moot without PPE needed for medical staff to provide care. No amount of medical robots would be able to tech our way out of this fundamental limitation.

A similar situation is happening to Louis Rossmann who doesn't have business interruption insurance because they require flood insurance and weasel out of covering disasters.

Another situation is Michael Moore's nonprofit movie theaters won't be reimbursed to pay or govt pay their employees' salaries, and building lease/rent.

Also, tip-based workers are screwed too.

Only 20% of workers are getting some money, with a little promise of temporary UBI to some people.

And then the government has the gall to offer interest-bearing loans instead of no interest loans and grants? WTF!

The situation is there will be people working to put food on the table sick or not, and riots if people aren't made whole. The US economy will crash and burn for decades if this isn't handled correctly by clawing back some of the tens of trillions the MIC, corporations, and the rich stole from the little guys and regular folks.

- It included the entire advanced level chem, physics and stats series for scientists and engineers.

- It was two elective courses shy of a math degree, including abstract math, concrete math, and tensor math.

- Only a few courses shy of a physics degree as well.

- The entire EE track and entire CS track of course.

- Writing lots of code for multiplatform portable code including Linux, HP-UX, Solaris, SGI, and some MINIX 2.

I think they should make it a mandatory combined undergrad /Masters' or /PhD program to be of sufficient depth into research achievement and breadth of knowledge to be useful in industry that cannot be achieved in the absence of an advanced degree. I think most of the undergrad CS knowledge can be acquired by osmosis in industry or self-study without a degree.

Now go to India, take the JEE and find out how fun testing can be because the SAT is not much harder than a driving test. :) (Emphasis on the JEE being a much better measure because it's more difficult and more voluminous so that it would make Einstein feel insecure and inadequate.)

- Temporary measures, once cancelled, will steepen the curve and recreate rapid community spread conditions. This will lead to a number of cycles of pandemic curves and responses as modeled in a number of papers.

- There is insufficient testing in the US to know what's actually happening, or even if serious or critical ILI patients have it.

- The JHU data shows March 20 suddenly leveled off, but this seems like a single, erroneous aberration since that day hasn't finished yet as of writing. [0]

- Until there is a safe and effective vaccine proven to work, there's no realistic alternative except to isolate and not venture out more than absolutely necessary, in small numbers.

I've read some of the literature on modeling the outbreak. In 45 days, the US will have no ICU beds available, basically no emergency healthcare available as it will be completely overwhelmed, and anywhere from 1-10 million will die over the successive pandemic waves within the next 18-24 months. Vaccine/s, prophylaxes and treatment protocols, in large numbers, are essential.

One of the largest dangers will be the premature reopening and lifting of shelter orders because the virus will not magically go away, and then people will abandon sensible precautions and cause a new pandemic wave that will kill untold thousands. Complacency and irresponsibility will kill many people.

Also, the Spring Break kids and the governor in Florida are beyond ignorant, they're reckless, selfish and liabilities to everyone else. One coastal Florida county's health department wasn't testing ILI patients to avoid coronavirus statistics, and preventing doctors from testing patients.

This isn't something to underestimate, because to do so would gamble your and your family's lives. Furthermore, young people are by far the greatest spreaders and also at risk for developing critical symptoms.

- how many people don't vote because it's a rigged sham that's setup to benefit the Property party, not the people

- how poor and how close to homelessness most average people are

- how corrupt and unaccountable the police are

- the nation with the highest incarceration rate except Seychelles, for-profit prisons, and the legal slavery loophole exploited by corporations

- a nation without a viable healthcare or mental healthcare system

- a nation that gives public commons and public services over to for-profit corporations

The revolution is that much closer because the US has been gradually becoming a banana republic failed state for at least 50 years, if not 70.

Hiding data, reality and/or lying to people leaves us all less prepared to take proactive steps to protect ourselves without over-spending or being caught under-prepared.

If some people panic because they can't handle reality, that's their own fault.

PS: this type of data is much better modeled by relatively simple ordinary differential equations because the rate of change of a communicable disease is proportional to the number infected.

According to Italian media, 50-75% of those infected are asymptomatic and the vast majority are 20-somethings.
