San Fran converts public libraries and rec facilities to childcare for emergency/healthcare workers while schools are closed.

This is a great idea!

Time to start a new hashtag:
#OurFinestHour sfpl.org/releases/2020/…
This is what the mega-churches in Houston and Atlanta and Dallas and Jacksonville and everywhere else should be doing, too.

Childcare for emergency/healthcare workers while schools are closed.

Food security for all.

#OurFinestHour
What can we do to fight this war against CV-19?

We can help our neighbors.

The silence out of Japan is deafening.

I think that Japan, like the UK, is pursuing a strategy of madness with #DontTestDontTell and #HerdImmunity.

BOJ is AWOL.
Japan, a country of 130 million, has tested 13,000 people for CV-19. If you don't see that Japan is one of the foremost proponents of #DontTestDontTell, you're just not paying attention.
There is no country in the world where I am more curious to see stats on hospitalizations for viral pneumonia over past 2 months than Japan.

Please read and RT.

I’m going to relay this correspondence with an Alabama radiologist as a Twitter thread.

It’s a crowded field, but no state gov’t has handled CV-19 more pathetically than my home state of Alabama. It's been total #DontTestDontTell.

"Ben, XY here. Radiologist at [hospital] in [small AL town] and [medical center] between B'ham and Montgomery. I could write a tome but neither of us has time! Thought I would share a few anecdotes.”
“Monday March 9. 50 yo patient smoker, recent travel, copd, coughing, was intubated, classic ground glass and consolidation changes on CT. State (ADPH) came out the next day and told hospital administration, "No need to test, didn't meet criteria." WTF. Who the heck is then?”

This is complete horseshit. It’s the wishful thinking of politicians who have no sense what “exponential” means.

Exponential is not a “wave”. Exponential is case, case, case ... then cluster, cluster, cluster ... then BOOM.

Right now the US is just starting the cluster phase.
Plus this conveniently ignores the reality of what happened when China abandoned Wuhan and the city fell.

They stopped counting the sick. They stopped counting the dead.

My guess is 500k got sick and 20k died. In one city.

PS. This Wuhan estimate is my “don’t get zerohedged by Twitter” estimate.

I worked in public libraries a long time. Here’s a short thread about “innovations” and “improvements” that were introduced to “free up staff time for more important duties” or to “give a better service to customers”.
First they built new style front desks. Fewer staff needed to run them. It meant customers had to queue a little longer, but there were more backroom staff. Then they cut the backroom staff. #libraries
Then they introduced new style computer terminals so library users could look up their own books. It meant librarians could be “freed up for more important work”. Users couldn’t find what they needed, but no help because they’d already cut the number of librarians.

I keep hearing that libraries should work harder to attract EVERYONE in the community. Nice thought, but what if they just carried on being there for the people who actually need them and stop trying to make Jack of all Trades? Fund them, and let library workers do their jobs.
Strong and successful communities are made of many elements that suit different groups at different times. It’s a jigsaw puzzle of our changing needs, not a one-stop-shop that fits all. I don’t use the park anymore, and I’ve never used the football pitches, but they’re important.
To build a strong and cohesive community we need different things at different times of our lives. You might not need the library right now, but others in your community do and the existence of it makes your community better. Protect that.

Arguments that #libraries are beneficial really don't have anything to do with the #consent argument against #taxation, so they are really quite uninteresting, and not at all even an argumentative response to the good professor. That being said, it's important to understand…
#Libraries are terribly underfunded, when they should be a top priority for civic spending. It is not inconsistent to be pro library funding and con taxation, if you argue for a #noncoercive yet still #compulsory financing source, i.e. Just Rent #LVT. Most libraries cannot…
accept donated books, because they simply cannot afford the staff and infrastructure required to preserve and maintain an ever-growing stock of physical texts. #Libraries must therefore concentrate on what items #librarians deem important or popular in their community. …

Thanks for having absolutely no idea how #libraries work in 2018, @Forbes forbes.com/sites/panosmou…
Do you not understand how unbelievably classist it is to say that everyone has a Netflix account or an Amazon Prime account? I know that people who you report on don't worry about those subscription prices, but for many lower income folks those CAN BE luxuries.
And they might not own a Kindle to take advantage of an ereader. So if they do read, it has to be at a computer. Which, again, not everyone is going to have. Did you know that public #libraries serve *everyone*, including *gasp* THE POOR?

#HealthCare #ForTheRecord My story...
No one cared when Obamanation took my health care.
My family and I still have no insurance - we don't qualify under ACA giveaways.
Let EVERYONE pay the same price I did.
We have to pay cash or not go + $700 per person PENALTY on taxes!
I had insurance, could afford my healthcare my whole life. Why complain? The democrats destroyed it! Obama lied about how many didn't have "health care". It's MORE now. It's was never healthcare. It was an insurance scam.
There was never a health CARE problem. There was a COST problem.
Cost of giving "free" stuff to those who had no accountability for it was the CAUSE of the problems. It began with medicaid/medicare.
We were giving it to people who were illegal aliens as well as the poor.
