This was just publised. For those who are interested it's an expert analysis of the data and trends looking at how different types of social isolation policy relate to potential health system over capacity. It's both grim and sobering reading, about 20 pages but well worth it. Cheers!

Guys, it may be airborne 'in certain conditions', see WHO statements. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/16/who-considers-airborne-precautions-for-medical-staff-after-study-shows-coronavirus-can-survive-in-air.html

The BBC quotes the WHO as saying that cash is indeed a vector. Fyi.

The DNM has just informed relevant regional authorities of the identities of passengers who are under quarantine rules (flown in from effected country in the last 15 days). They will then be carrying out inspections on both Argentine citizens, as well as non citizens, covered by the rules...

Does this mean it's cancelled, or reacheduled, any ideas? https://m.ambito.com/lollapalooza/suspendieron-el-lollapalooza-n5088268 Edit: Looks like it will be rescheduled for 'the second half of 2020'

An interesting article from the guardian on how the far right anti democratic mobilisations in Brazil are being endorsed by Bolonaro. This seems aimed at intimidating Congress ahead of his potential impeachment. Bolsonaro's son, tellingly, tweets: "If an H-bomb landed on congress do you really...

Omg guys , the plague, the plague!! It's happening again!! "The carts, called “dead carts,” came to the pits at night piled high with corpses, until the pits could hold no more. They came at the rate of as many as 400 bodies a week. The rule was that once the corpses reached within six feet of...

For what it's worth, I'd also say Samsung with inverter is the way forward. The build quality is way better than 90% of the competition, as is the engineering (at least for the mid/high end products) . Go into a place where they have models on display and have some hands on time, you'll see what...

New important news out!! ;) "TORONTO – Public health officials in Toronto have confirmed its first 50,000 cases of being a misinformed fuckwit as xenophobic conspiracy theories and tales of false cures continue to spread across social media. “Becoming a complete moron during an infectious...

I hear they had to close Alto Palermo Starbucks because large groups of expats would take up the whole big 15 person table yet only buy 2 small coffees between them to save their money for essentials such as craft beers. This was specially rumored to impact the bottom line for the franchise on...

Funny, I often use an electric personal vehicle to get around and see that sort of character walking in the bike lanes all the time. Maybe I should be saying that phrase to them? :D

How come?

Looks like more regulations are incoming. "Las tarjetas de pago deberán tener los fondos en cuentas a la vista, en pesos, en entidades financieras del país y, que deberán estar en todo momento disponibles."...

Yep, they are pulling out of 12 locations. "Atlanta, Phoenix, San Diego, and San Antonio. Lime also plans to leave Linz, Austria; Bogotá, Colombia; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Montevideo, Uruguay; Lima, Peru; Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; and São Paulo, Brazil." The business...

I mean; someone could order from you, say they found a tooth in it, or some other made up bs, and then sue, for example. If you have followed all the food safety regulations, insurances, etc, then I'd think you would be better placed to weather that sort of a storm. As Steve pointed out, it...

Hey, Yep, that's kinda what I was getting at. I'm sure your hygiene is defacto top knotch compared to most local bakeries. My worry is more about someone sueing you for not being registered/following regulations etc. The government/inspectors may also try to strongarm you if you go 'above...

Hey, I think there are apps for this, see article below. Though, I'd be very careful of selling food illicitally without registering, paying taxes, and following legal standards etc. The article talks about this somewhat. Good luck! “La preparación de comidas para su distribución a domicilio...

Ahh Moral Philosophy is fun!! Enjoy the debates :p

I wonder how the percentages of land ownership here compares to other countries'. In the UK, for example, 1% owns over 50% of the land. That's after centuries of feudalism whereby power and ownership was distilled into fewer and fewer hands through force, violence and other forms of...

Thanks for sharing, some interesting insights here for those not familiar with the topic. From my perspective, and I use both the public infrastructure, and powered/non powered skateboards/longboards a lot; I'd say bike lanes, trains , underground , and busses, are great in terms of coverage...
