The last few years of Twitter have taught us that the most useful thing we can do is shitpost about people we don't like.

Coronavirus is forcing us to unlearn that lesson.

But people still grope for a feeling of control in scary times, so the shitposting continues.
Viruses don't give a shit about your sick burn, your witty clapback, or your 20,000 retweets.

They're just here for your cell nuclei.

We need 120k tests a day 🐇

Here's a timeline of China's lockdowns, from jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/….

I've added my notes.

Lockdown makes new infections plateau immediately, and starts reducing them after 4-5 days.

But daily new confirmed cases don't start dropping til 2 weeks after lockdown!
Note that the lockdown reduces TRUE daily new infections (defined by symptom onset) to a fairly low level after about 17 to 18 days. Our U.S. shutdowns and #StayAtHome orders will be less effective, so this is the most optimistic projection for how long they will take to work.
Italy might be a better comparison. They started lockdowns on March 8, so if the timeline is the same as China, their daily confirmed cases should start falling tomorrow. Any longer, and we can get a better idea of what to expect in the U.S...

This website will show you a worst-case scenario for what will happen to your state if you don't #ShutItDown.

If you haven't #ShutItDown already, there is zero time to lose. Do it now!!

For example, here's Texas.
The site is endorsed by a number of infectious disease experts, so this isn't just some data scientist's back-of-the-envelope guess.

Thread:

For me, the #coronavirus pandemic it has exposed what I already know and resist (often unsuccessfully): a violent imperialist capitalism structured around endless, meaningless work related activity.
Even resisting this overaching regime damages because we have to absorb the disciplinary mechanisms regardless of whether they are activated when we refuse.

So think of potential professional cost and not only in the strictest sense of sanctions (lack of promotion, loss of job)
But also think of emotional, social, psychological, psychic costs of such refusal of these professional sinkholes of meaningless, pointless activity.

Another Global Recession looms as the Coronavirus 🦠 pandemic unleashes untold financial chaos to the world’s economy.

During the last global economic downturn over a decade ago, it was triggered by the sub-prime mortgage crisis.

This is a thread 🧵. Let’s go.

What’s a Sub-prime mortgage?

A sub-prime mortgage is a mortgage given to an individual with low/poor income with a high rate of default. The acronym NINJA perfectly describes this class of mortgage borrowers.

In 1992 I started taking interest in Israel and very quickly thereafter became aware of the immense hate called antisemitsm directed against the Jews and their state.
So this year it's been 28 years of discussing Israel and antisemitsm whenever the opportunity arose.
1/
Talked to church ppl, "the man on the street", politicians, antisemites, Israel-haters, co-workers, at work, in the swimming pool, at a café, in church, at home, in others homes, written debate articles, commented on news, Facebook, the last few years on Twitter....
2/
All this time most of the antisemitic hate has been directed against the Jewish state and is the result of people buying into Palestinian lies.

The main reason for antisemitsm being an epidemic today is decades of Palestinian Holocaust denial, antisemitic propaganda,
