«Oh no! It seems that china have our confidential non-encrypted info and a few things our employees carries on their mobile… but it’s better than having it on-prem and have to manage our own secu. It’s so 90’s»
 
never change!

@Patachu  
That’s so accurate that it hurts.

Huwaei products are thankfully still banned from use in places like that. We even pulled our RC-135s out of the UK and will potentially no longer be sharing certain classified intel with our closest ally due to them buying Huwaei tech. A nice incentive for them to reverse their decision.

My state is up to 8,340 and 173. According to the map , it appears the amount of new cases in the KC area have slowed down (Johnson county is at 666 at the time of this post). However Finney (Garden City) and Ford counties have left the KC counties in the dust. Still surprised at how low the Shawnee (Topeka) county total is after all this time.

Probably also for this thread as well,
 
Florida scientist that built their virus tracking portal was fired for refusing to manipulate COVID-19 data

The anti-intellectualism running rampant in America is a sight to behold.

@The Smiling Pony  
Sad that the people we should be able to rely on during times like this are the ones who are the least trustworthy.

Moderna withheld critical information about its vaccine trials, with industry experts throwing cold water on the hype. Their partners at the NIAID are also being uncharacteristically quiet.
 
I should remind you that this is a company, supported by hedge funds, that has a valuation of 29 billion, despite having never put a product to market.
 
They have legitimately sold nothing in the 11 years they have existed.
 
I’m beginning to suspect that they may be a little smoke and mirrors.

@Zincy  
Who was it that wanted to hire them in the first place?

I heard conspiracy theories about a bill in the House

@Typhoon2000  
They call him Bill, and he sits on top of Capitol Hill

@Kiryu-Chan  
I hope and pray that they will but today I am still just a Bill?

@Typhoon2000  

 
Gotta be more specific.

@Typhoon2000 & @CaptainXtra
 
Like, H.R. # would be nice. And please it had better have something to do with the pandemic, given that you posted about it here.

@Zincy
 
Where’s Gordon Gecko when you need him? He’d sort them out.

This virus wouldn’t spread so fast if people would just shut their damn mouths.

In the municipality of my location, if a district reports more than 25 cases will implement a 100% lockdown with no one else outside even in their front doors for an excess 3 days or a week. You can’t buy food, pay bills, taxes, play/be/hang outside, or drink beer even in your own house.
 
So far my hood has 14.

Texas doesn’t give a flying fuck.

@Searly Sear  
You can do pretty much whatever you want here.

Brazil just surpassed USA’s daily cases for the first time.
 
I’ve long forecasted that they’ll be next on the centerstage of this crisis along with Russia and India.

@Searly Sear  
Supposedly Brazils numbers are estimated to be up to triple in terms of deaths based on US Satellite imagery of mass graves, similar to Iran.

Surprise surprises, you elect a brain dead autocrat and this stuff tends to happen.

@MagpulPony  
I’m thinking of starting a new game where we track down those “2020 IS OUR YEAR” dipshits and spam loud as fuck clown music in their vicinity.
 
Maybe make a few Covfefe 19 jokes in the process.

@CaptainXtra  
Pretty sure they realize that by now.

Brazil’s case numbers are now estimated to be as high as 15x more than they are currently reporting. Meanwhile despite baffling media reporting, the drug Hydroxychloraquine has been showing promising results in preventing Covid spread and illness, not treatment.
