[09:12:20] <systemd> ^ 03Bombshell transcript: Dr. Francis Boyle’s interview on coronavirus as an “offensive biological warfare weapon”
[09:15:18] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Facebook Starts a Fact-Checking Partnership with Reuters - https://sylnt.us - truth
[09:27:26] <FatPhil> nice believable curves here: https://www.worldometers.info
[09:27:41] <FatPhil> no fudging of the data has ever taken place, honest guv.
[09:30:22] <janrinok> The method of classifying disease at COVID-19 related has changed since yesterday - the requirements for classifying it as COVID-19 related have been relaxed such than COVID-19 symptoms combined with a respiratory infection are sufficient to make it fit the criteria. This upturn was expected and forecast.
[09:31:39] <janrinok> Previously complex scans were required but many hospitals were unable to process patients sufficiently quickly such that earlier figures were underestimations of the probably real figures.
[09:34:40] <janrinok> BBC television has had several 'experts' explaining the change this morning, to put peoples' minds at rest that this isn't a sudden increase in both deaths and cases i.e. they were always there but previously were not being counted.
[09:36:09] <FatPhil> if you add 1500,1500,2500,3500 to the previous 4 days, then you get a perfectly smooth curve.
[09:37:14] <FatPhil> So I agree this isn't a shocking jump, it's just cases that everyone expected to be reported anyway
[09:38:42] <FatPhil> the previous 4 days, that showed the disease is clearly being contained (decellerating growth rate), were clearly fudged.
[09:39:40] <FatPhil> the previous 2 weeks, with absolutely constant death rates, were clearly fudged too, of course, I don't want to pick on just the last 4 days.
[09:44:11] <FatPhil> 'China sacked two top officials in Hubei province hours after the new figures were revealed. ' - killing the messenger?
[09:54:07] <inz> Like any good dictatorship
[10:59:35] <FatPhil> Like the South Park catholic church paedo scandal episode "we've got to stop them telling"
[11:06:41] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Second GPU Cloudburst Experiment Yields New Findings: 100 fp32 PFLOPS Readily Available in the Cloud - https://sylnt.us - rainmakers
[11:11:24] <FatPhil> U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, in the midst of the coronavirus outbreak, seized a bag of dead birds that was being carried in the luggage of an airline passenger traveling from China to Washington D.C. on January 27.
[11:12:16] <chromas> I thought bird flu was old hat
[11:12:57] <chromas> Or maybe they were trying to old Jewish tradition of sprinkling bird blood to heal skin disease

[19:23:48] <cmn32480> is it wrong to tell people who have users starting on Monday that their request for new user logins will take 1-2 weeks? They told me about it Tuesday...
[19:24:37] <janrinok> probably - but it is also funny so we will let you off.....
[19:26:18] <cmn32480> oh goody!
[19:26:47] <cmn32480> plus... the manager who asked for the new user login is a total jackass.
[19:27:20] <janrinok> in that case your actions are entirely justified, expected almost
[19:27:27] <cmn32480> one of those where you MUST follow her policies and procedures, but she will be damned if she will follow yours

[20:14:13] <AndyTheAbsurd> cmn32480: the requestor is a total jackass and the SLA for new user logins is two weeks and you got a ticket submitted on the 11th? Guess who isn't getting logins until the 25th!
[20:28:55] <chromas> Then, when the time comes, it turns out they had the logins the whole time but didn't get the memo.
[21:34:05] <FatPhil> Hmmm, apparently there are 3 different ways to make my age with the ages of the whiskies I have available to me here...
