Re: Canada's decision to not allow the Blue Jays (and other MLB teams) to play in Toronto.
Canada, a country of 38 million, has not had a day of 1,000 new cases since May 25, and about 300 a day over the last month.
The U.S. has had 70,000+ documented cases in the last day.
@JRy79 @Thecraigiest @sydkatgro@LeftOfCentrist @adamdanjoe Wow. Had to dig through the memory bank for that one! Makes sense to somehow incorporate degenerate gambling into a feel good catholic weekend I think?
Not sure we've communicated well enough that social distancing interventions will pay dividends in 1-3 weeks. Anything that happens in the next 10 days was already baked in prior to that. A surge in cases now would NOT mean that social distancing isn't working.

So, four days after I brought someone to a hospital that is now the Covid-19 hub for North Jersey, I've got symptoms. Sharing this because you're probably going to deal with this at some point and I figured I'd pass on what I'm learning. /1
This is one of the greatest uses of (animated) info graphics I have ever seen. Explains a complex problem vividly, persuasively, and accurately. Share it widely.

I’m no epidemiologist and no public health expert. I do believe passionately in science and also in #Factfulness. This man is the global authority on the spread of disease. If you are a leader (in any capacity) watch this. If you are not, watch it too.
a lot of people saying he made this up, but i’m embarrassed to admit that i am small donald trump’s democrat friend who reached out asking where i could get a gun in case i need to shoot the virus
It’s been brought to my attention not every single human being has had the privilege of watching this phenomenal German commercial. It deserves a goddamn Oscar imho
