Places to go, things to do

What does screening even mean? You can be contagious and not show any symptoms. Denver was never on the list for screening and the last London flight came in on Monday.

This boomer crap makes my blood boil. I nearly assaulted a chump for his stupid Okay Boomer shit.

And Iā€™m Gen X, for the record.

I was on vacation from NYC in Cali a couple of months ago and I made it my business to drive down the PCH from SF to Santa Barbara.

I am so freakinā€™ jealous of anyone who gets to drive those awesome California roads on a regular basis.

The drive north from LA to Santa Barbara is pretty incredible too. Parts of the drive between San Diego and Orange County arenā€™t bad either.

I might have to log some miles this weekend, Iā€™m getting serious cabin fever, and Iā€™m used to working from home.

I donā€™t mean it as an insult, my dad is actually a baby boomer. Boomer is meant more as a joke now I guessā€¦ itā€™s thrown around so much for anyone that isnā€™t a Zoomer (Gen-Z). Apologize if I insulted you, not my intention.

There is a shortage of rectal thermometers so rumor is TSA are using fingersā€¦maybe mllcb42 can confirm.

Actually the entire coast from N of San Fran to SD is incredibly gorgeous but nature wise, the central coast, Big Sur area is probably the prettiest.

Iā€™m not insulted by you. No offense taken.

But I find the effing overall youth view of people in their 40ā€™s and 50ā€™s as old to be preposterous. In the US we just donā€™t respect the wisdom that accumulates with age.

I am always intrigued by the way Spanish-speakers ask age. It is ā€œcuantos aƱos tienes?ā€ Which means literally ā€œhow many years do you have?ā€ It feels a lot more positive than ā€œHow old are you?ā€

Feels like the bigger answer in Latin culture actually gets more respect.

But I digress.

Thanks for clarifying. Forgive my outburst.

In the absence of quick tests, temperature checks. Surprising how many people have fevers and donā€™t know. In China & South Korea they are supposed to get immediately taken to fever clinics.

My only point is that someone can have it and not show symptoms, so taking temps can not mean jack

Looks like L.A. is about to be locked down as of midnight, time for a cruise in the 340i before it gets parked for a while

How many cases are there in California?

1,043 atm

They just issued an order shutting down all of California

1043 cases isnā€™t even a city block in a major city. Something doesnā€™t sit well with all of this hype.

Well, according to newsom, over half of the population of California will have this in the next 8 weeks, ignoring that that would be 100 times worse than the current trajectory that Italy is on.

Thatā€™s really incomplete data. We arenā€™t testing widely yet.

Imagine an exponential spread from 1,043 transmitters.

Believe the hype. Ferchrissakes there are thousands dead around the :earth_americas:

Of course, here in LA county, we were given a ā€œstay homeā€ order rather than a ā€œshelter in placeā€ order, because after much deliberation, they preferred that verbage.

Yes, the order was delayed for a bit while they decided on terminology they felt was less aggressive. Mind you, the only difference is the title.
