  1. As long as death results continue to show that vast majority of those that die are either: Old or Obese (or both), along with underlying issues related to being either old or obese, I see real pressure start to mount to open businesses back up.

    Would love to see the Freakonomics report on medicare & ss/disability savings related to CV19 deaths among old folks and/or obese people.

    Assuming you mean passcode/PIN and not AppleID password...

    1.  Power on iPad and connect the iPad to a computer with iTunes

    2.  Hold down the home and power buttons for about 20 seconds.  You should see the iPad restart, and after restart, an image showing "Connect to itunes" or some such.  If iPad does not have a home button, you can still do this but it's a bit different.

    3.  On the computer with iTunes select Restore.

    This will perform a restore and erase the passcode.  You still need your AppleID password.  If you previously backed up your iPad, after restoring, you can load the backup.

    Yes passcode. Been trying but can never get itunes to pick ipad up. Is annoying. Thanks for info. 

  3. My 13 yo was fucking with my 10 yo Ipad so my 10 yo changed the password and now of course has forgotten it. Can't get stupid thing to trigger factory reset. So my mental health getting ready to be impacted if I have to listen to more crying over this fucking device.

    He won't.


    Because the cult will be distracted by this...


    Not trying to insinuate that you're part of the cult. Your point is valid, but I've already witnessed it being used as a pivot away from holding Trump accountable.

    Definitely not part of the cult. I think Trump's handling is criminal. People are dying unnecessarily due to his downplaying this issue. I also think China sucks and should be held accountable as well. It is a total failure across the board.

    I don't think that is an accurate description of the previous labor market at all.

    In fact, I doubt anybody who has been paying attention to the US economy is surprised by how fragile the job market is for so many. Too actually see the scale of this dip, in real time, in unemployment is mind blowing though.

    I could be skewed being in high tech but people were moving companies left and right. Now all hiring frozen etc etc

    It was already on the news here every day, what possible difference would it have made being labeled a pandemic vs an epidemic earlier?  How would that have changed anything?  I guess I’m not understanding your point because I’m not seeing how changing the label matters. Can you help me out here?

    I guess I am just looking at it from lens of if international agencies weren't as aggressive in labeling as could be then that gives domestic agencies an out.

    I am frustrated with how US has handled but I do believe it's been a global shit show from start.

    Slow play?

    They first noticed it on December 31, by January 11th they'd sent a fully sequenced gene of the virus to the WHO.

    ok, I guess I am the only one that thinks China could have done more with being upfront re: CV and also that in subsequent weeks that have not been transparent and honest.

    Pandemic is just a stage of outbreak. They were ringing the bell, telling countries to take it seriously and institute containment measure. Our President decided it was the flu and no big deal. It wasn't the WHO or China that did that. People in this goddamn forum knew it was a big deal back in January. I'm sorry if I expect at least as much from the people running the country. 

    Agree Trump fucked up completely and is still fucking up. People are and will continue to die at a higher rate due to his incompetence.

    I do believe though that China's slow play of info and coverup and WHO also slow playing call to pandemic didn't help.

    wut?

    They labeled it a pandemic once it had shown up in enough countries to satisfy the definition.  Did you want them to label it a pandemic while it was largely in Wuhan?

    The WHO also stated exactly what the mortality rate was based on all the data available, which largely inflated said rate.  They were reporting a 3-4% rate for a while during the early stages based on data from Iran, Italy, and China, when everyone knew the actual rate is likely much lower.  

    There were cases in 19 countries outside of China on Jan 31 indicating significant person to person transmission. Rather than wait to Mar 11 once 114 countries were impacted they should have moved earlier in labeling this more seriously. To me they were parsing language vs ringing the bell.

    By the time bell rang it was already spread everywhere.

  10. Trump absolutely mismanaged this epidemic from the start and he should face some sort of reckoning for it.

    With that said, China should be held by far even more accountable as their direct lies and obfuscation all throughout the initial rise of CV 19 (and their continued lies re: deaths, infections etc) are what brought this to our shores.

    Global agencies like WHO that are way up China's ass are to blame as well as they delayed labeling this an pandemic and also downplayed it's deadliness.

    I hope our economic cold and potential high unemployment absolutely turns around and goat fucks China's economy and I hope coming out of this we invest in manufacturing capability (even if subsidized) and take China's lying POS government down.

    The whole “masks don’t help” thing has to be one of the dumbest fucking things ever. 

    Agreed. WHO/CDC should have said "We don't want run on masks and Dr.s not being able to have them" vs "Nah they don't work/people are stupid for buying" stance they took out of the gate. Now they are reversing course and are going to probably make a bigger run on them than before.

    It's shocking that, even today, some Americans are so ignorant or stubborn that they would argue against the efficiency of using masks (or any other face covering) in public.

    To be fair to Joe/Jane Q Public that hasn't tracked this site, there have been multiple reports out from WHO/CDC that masks don't help and only sick people should wear them so when they cough they don't spread. Now reports are coming out stating what seems to be obvious "Well if Dr.s wear them, I guess they do help".

    If the WHO/CDC reverse course now and say "All should be masked" then that is on them for not stating this from the onset.

    With that said myself and every family member has a N95 mask.
