Unless you live in Kansas. You don't care. Just like no one cares about Illinois, unless you live here or you live next to the state.

Your troll act is comical. Baseball, politics, religion...it doesnt matter. Its the same. 1.) Greg Hottakes - You read something, post it and ask question in the same tense if you were a 90 year old who never witnessed the industrial revolution. Then dig deeper with your logic, which is neither logic or insightful. I am conservative and typically vote republican. But for the love of god I dont start any debate with "I heard this from Rush Limbaugh. Or Trump tweeted this." If you cant separate being conservative with listening to the Orange Man and agreeing with everything he says then I dont know how you can be salvaged. 2.) Greg Remote-Google You ask others to lookup and provide facts that you yourself could easily put in a search engine and get the facts for. 3.) Mount Greenwood nostalgia - You flashback to your younger years at Brother Rice and playing stickball in the park. Has the neighborhood changed. Is Brother Rice still good at football. Is Suzy still mad at you. This can be solved by Googling, see #2.) 4.) You live in Kansas. No one outside of you gives a flying fuck what the residents of your backwater little town consider current events. No one cares about Kansas. I have relatives that live in Kansas. I dont call them and ask them their views of world affairs. Every person on this forum lives somewhere. We dont qualify everything with, Well the people of Downers Grove, Lisle, Oak Park, Orland Park, etc are asking .....X. My town is full of shit, just like the next one. Just like yours. Stop by qualifying that you live in Kansas. Everyone here knows you live there. No one cares about your zipcode.

So what happens if a viable vaccine takes 10 years to develop. Do you re-evaluate your risk taking then. Or are you going to hunker down and live in a cave for 10 years. While I am hopeful of the existing vaccine research this is a new virus and its not a guarantee that it will be successful. I mean this is the only problem with waiting for a cure. I am socially distancing and doing my part. My job is already 100 percent remote and I am part of most companies critical infrastructure. A lot of people are not. My neighbors are acting like its spring break. One of them had a bonfire in his front yard and I counted over 50 people drinking and not socially distancing. I don't see how this is going to be sustainable especially here were we really only have a few months of golden weather. I think is all going to become bedlam in the next few weeks. Next Saturday is going to be 80+.

So Pritzker cited that if we opened up in may we would get hit with a second wave. So explain this to me. How is opening up in June or July going to change the numbers. We are seeing the virus spread in warmer climates. The study says that due to not having a vaccine the minute we open up the virus will skyrocket again. In fact the model he is using has more deaths than NY which makes zero sense. So how exactly do we open up if that's the case ever, until there is a vaccine.

On paper. My guess is China still leads this.

Good luck with that comrade.

So we bunker in place for 3 months. Then we come out of the bunker and wave 2 hits. then we bunker in place for another 3 months. then we come out and wave 3 hits. I don't see how this scales to tell people to bunker for the next year. Is this the plan. One year of isolation?

This isn't even close to being true. For most companies they have private connectivity between their locations and datacenters/cloud providers. Its typically dedicated and not using a shared medium like the internet. The service providers peering links and inter-connects are under massive stress right now. Most companies build out for about 35% max utilization for remote services. Now you have taken their entire population and have popped them off at home. So besides the obvious remote access connection bandwidth, you have remote meetings, people are going to binge more Netflix/hulu/etc, and of course game. I have been pretty busy building out capacity over the last week to keep up with demand. The internet is built around a best-effort model. Its not built like your enterprise wan at your company. Nanog has been talking about this since we have seen the network traffic invert.

How you survived the interview process is beyond me. Hopefully they allow the byo peripherals that you plan on plugging into their production equipment. If they don't and you insist on playing that game you wont have to worry about the cost of parking and the metra. You will be back home where its safe.

God speed

My guess is that your performance might be a bit better if you didn't have to bang through the Chinese great firewall. If anything that will get a nice stress test. For Zoom If their front end is truly cloud native then they can scale laterally until the cows come home. Business continuity is about to get a stress across all industries. Most remote access services are set for a subset of the actual population of the company due to historical numbers. If its just licensing then that's easy. Pay more and unlock more user licenses. Now if they happened to have sized either physical equipment and say bandwidth on their circuits to a subset of their user population then this is about to get stressful for some people in corporate America. I just had a meeting with a customer that is running their egress internet traffic at about 85% normally. We have been begging them to upgrade for years. But why do that when you can push the equipment to the brink and survive. Well we gave them a pretty sad state of what is about to happen when they point their large user population back inwards when they all work from home. Good luck, god speed to you.

Okay one point of parliamentary procedure in the forum Jack. Its okay to revise part of a post to fix a typo. Its hard however to follow a line of thought when you go back to posts to add about 90% more content. Shadow editing makes your posts almost impossible to follow and read.

Lead the way...I will hopefully see you in the future times, after the sick sick time.

You are a walking contradiction. You were just advocating mandatory quarantine and now you will wait and see until more info comes out.

Y Good luck with your self quarantine. Remember to seal up the home with saran wrap and aluminum foil. The first creates a virus barrier and the other keeps the government from reading your mind. I hope it works out for you.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/04/us/coronavirus-new-hampshire-dartmouth.html And here is the problem with the quarantine idea here. Humans doing human things.

Dude you are ready to lock up the entire country into their homes for the foreseeable future. This is a bit beyond, I am washing hands and taking this calm.

You are already in a panic. My guess if you had a fever and a cough you would be lined up at the emergency room letting your next of kin know that you had a grand life. Actually I know how easy it is transmitted. That's why I don't believe a shutdown will work. Because the minute you start letting things go back to normal all it takes is a few people to reignite this again. Quarantines are great. I wonder how many Italians scattered out of Italy before this got locked down. "We are issuing a quaratine at 9pm" .... Until there is a vaccine that everyone can take, with how infectious this is. This is just playing wack-a-mole.

Actually I do. The problem that is going to happen is that there will people like you flooding the emergency rooms if you get a sniffle. It must be the coronavirus and its obviously fatal for everyone. So lets crash the ER. Meanwhile in the ER you are going to pick up Flu A, Flu B, or a whole laundry list of things that can fuck up your life for good. Like my anti-vaxer neighbors who go to the emergency room everytime their kids get a cold. BTW did you get your flu vaccine last fall? You know flu also kills, not at the same rate as Coronavirus. But the flu is a well known killer and has been linked to many pandemics. Now the flu vaccine is a best guess. But you got it right. Go hide in your cave. Good luck.

Its in the wild. To be safe you will have to stay in your house until you can get immunized for it. You okay staying at home and surviving until October? Got enough canned goods? Now remember when your gas gets cut due to lack of workers or the fact you cant pay your bill anymore you better have plan B ready. DId you start choping down your trees and getting the firewood ready. I mean will need to prepare for when the gas gets shut off and you need to cook the 7 cans of chef-boy-r-dee you have in your cupboard. Remember to check the expiration dates on your mac and cheese, your tuna, and the whole cream corn. If the water gets shut off remember hopefully you live in an area that has a high water table so when you dig your well that it wont waste a lot of your energy. Spring is coming so insects can provide protein. I hope you are good with cleaning the animals you hunt and kill in the safety of your backyard. With the disease there is a 3% chance of death. My guess is if we tell people to stay in their homes until October, probably a few more are going to die. I feel like I am reading the Stand or something. Christ get a grip. This is a serious pandemic. But in the end we are not ready to bunker in our homes for months. I know how to hunt, fish and survive. I dont think I could do that here regularly with the game we have in the area and not without travelling a bit to get something that would be sustainable. I could probably eat a bunch of canadian geese, ducks, rabbits and might be able to fish. But then again I would need to leave my home. So if I am going to do that, can I just go to the grocery store and get dinner.

No you don't understand the ramifications. Do you think that people have enough food and resources to stay put for a month or so? I mean eventually you will run out of resources. People dont plan that well. I have a stocked freezer and I could probably get away with staying home for a month. As long as my heat stays on, my electricity works and my water runs. What happens if your electricity has a problem, or your gas. No one to come out and fix it. They are at home like you. Maybe you can use your home depot dust mask and go into the back yard and hunt rabbits. Cook them over a fire you cant make on your own. This isntthe hunger games. Most people do not live with infinite resources or plan for long term survival at home. Most of the food in your fridge has an expiration date that probably is before the date you would need to stay in by.

Shut what down? The United States? For how long? You realize that its months before we get a vaccine that can be produced in the quantities needed to create herd immunity. We have a very infectious disease that will pop up the minute you allow humans to interact with each other. The minute another visitor from another country, cruise ship, or community infected person shows up and interacts with the general public its back in the wild. Unless you are a doomsday prepper you are not ready to go offline from humanity for a few weeks. Toliet paper will be the least of your worries if you think you are going to crawl into a hole in the ground and just wait this out. So do you have enough food to survive for 21 days in your house today? I mean if you get to quarantine and hide, why not the food delivery guy, what about the plant worker, the garbage man, what about the health care professional. I mean they all have family and people they love. The problem with shutting it all down is that no one is there to keep the lights on. Remote access and working from home is cute as a white color worker. I can do my job from my house everyday. I never have to go in. But the rest of humanity cant do that. And some workers need to be out and not at home. Until there is a vaccine that everyone can readily get this is a fools errand to think we can stave off with quarantines here and there. The concept of this just being about greed doesnt take into place how connected our economy is. So unless you are a doomsday prepper you are not ready to sit in at home and wait this out for a month or so. I cant wait for the anti-vaxxers to come out of the woodwork to protest the eventual shot.

The same reason that Brian Anderson almost had his number retired in Arizona as well. The curveball dont curve so much there.

Eric Creesey is an amazing hire by the Yanks.
