We need emergency testing and triage clinics right now. They need to be free and easily accessible. Early-stage sick people and contacts can’t be left to wait for a doctor’s appointment while shedding virus, and they need a better option than bringing it into a crowded ER.

If I just got $8.3 billion this is what I would do. Huge tents and temporary structures in parking lots and spaces adjacent to hospitals with free, 24/7, rapid testing. Drive thru option. Some people can be reassured. Some can be told to self quarantine. Some can be sent inside.

Officials need to drop the pretense that low case numbers mean success. At this point we need to assume low numbers mean failure to detect. theatlantic.com/health/archive…

/Your story doesn't have to be a tragedy/

Baekhyun draws his eyes, he keeps it sharp, ferline like, a temptation. He's wearing a grey blouse, unbuttoned on the first three, faint patterns of leaves that he didn't pay attention to before purchasing,

he's ready. The epitome of a dark horse rising from the flame, what those people never thought he would do一he stands here now, a walking sex machine, a fuckin melancholy that doesn't give a shit about anything anymore.

His phone buzz, its a low ring.

The time has come.

The text is someone he's expecting.

To Baekhyun.
I'm down stairs.

The curve of the male's lips says that he's more excited to see the caller than the party they're attending later.

Just like that, Baekhyun has been guesting in Sehun's videos. That's when their friendship became closer and Sehun's feelings were getting stronger. Their chemistry in front of the camera made the viewers curious if they are actually together.

"Sehun and I are very good friends." Baekhyun says. Sehun gained Baekhyun's trust and brought out the clinginess in Baekhyun. Baekhyun was afraid to show affection to someone, but he just felt lighter when he was with Sehun.

"One of my best friends... about dating, I am still mending a heartbreak."

That was the last question for today. The cameras were now off. Sehun pulled Baekhyun's swivel chair closer to him.

s • taekook au’s | 7 is coming

@taekookwriting

taekook au;

jungkook is the editor-in-chief of a big publishing house & taehyung is his personal assistant. for 3 years they’ve kept it professional with each other but the lines quickly become blurred when taehyung’s contract is about to end and jungkook doesn’t want him to go

-

three years ago, on a bleary monday morning, taehyung had walked into the lobby of Jeon Publishing wearing a bright yellow sweater, black slacks, and Converse high tops.

the receptionist at the front had given him a look of confusion but let him into the waiting area

nonetheless. he was here to interview for the coveted personal assistant position to the newly appointed editor-in-chief and based on the fitted & ironed gray and blue suited men waiting with him, he may have largely underestimated how serious the competition was.

@alanpage

@alanpage It's very telling that manual testing is seen as cheap.

IME this perception exists because (as I have repeatedly seen at clients) the absolute most junior people are hired as testers in order to keep costs down. Because they’re so junior they don’t contribute very much. 1/2

@alanpage

@alanpage 2/3 They stay junior because they have no mentorship (because mentorship is expensive).

The “5x to 15x” cost of automation proposed by the OP fits with this model: median developer pay is around $150k US. A team of five devs then costs ~$750k annually (considering TC only here)

@alanpage

@alanpage 3/4 Glassdoor lists “QA Analyst” roles as starting at $18k US. I’m in NYC so this is lower than I’ve ever seen. Let’s assume QA roles start around $25k, which is just enough to rent a room and live paycheck to paycheck in NYC.

The cheapest QA analyst costs 17% of a dev salary.
