Neck-in-neck. I've won more votes, but Colonel @adamctharp' still winning more money. But *only slightly.* One day left to vote!

Tons of studies indicate that it will give you a "warm glow" to contribute. wired.com/2010/12/the-sc… eu.desertsun.com/story/sponsor-…
And it will also increase your life expectancy. Yes, really: health.usnews.com/health-news/he… More than exercising regularly, even.

This is an interesting thread. I know nothing--absolutely nothing--about the Chinese e-commerce ecosystem, so I have no idea whether this accurately reflects the challenge, but it falls under a larger category of things questions that have been on my mind of late.
It's not enough to observe that American governance has been characterized, in this century, by the word "incompetence," though that's a start. We've now passed from "dismaying incompetence" to "suicidal incompetence," so we really need to be thinking about why.
And I don't think the ways we've been thinking about this are particularly useful. Tangential, but not irrelevant: Has any newspaper or magazine written a detailed, narrative account of the way the CDC screwed up the development & distribution of a test for Covid-19?

PM: We'll look at this territory by territory, but if things go okay after May 11, we'll consider easing lockdowns in more affected territories. If the local system for testing isn't ready, we can't lift in that area. He's introducing the idea of "red" and "green" areas.
Every Thursday, we'll show a map with the best and worst departments showing how likely it is that we can lift the lockdown or whether we have to slap it back on.

We have priority areas of for easing the lockdown:
Schools. It's imperative that kids go back to schools. At first, it will be on a voluntary basis. After May 18, only in regions where virus is low, we'll reopen middle schools; later, high school and vocational schools. We don't take this decision lightly.

PM: Then we'll contact-trace the heck out of everyone who tests positive. It can only work if everyone participates fully, so in each department we'll have a contact-tracing brigade. They'll be following up on all the contacts. Protection, testing, isolation.
Isolation is key. It's not a punishment or a sanction. It's sheltering for all of us, and people must be supportive of the isolated. Our objective is to base this on people's own sense of civic duty. Civic duty is something people like. Our doctors say so.
People who test positive can either isolate at home, or in a hotel that we'll requisition for them. To be most effective, we would like to trace you on your phone. That would only be an addition--it's not as important as your civic duty.
