Although it may look like a forum, this site is actually a crowd-sourced science project modelling the slow but inexorable heat death of the universe.

Dominic Raab is Johnson's "designated survivor".

Please God, if you exist, please don't let Dominic Raab, the woman-hating, disabled-abusing, climate-change-denying, charlatan who voted against the minimum wage for people under 25 and who thought food banks were necessary and stopped people looking for work, do anything stupid!

Cuomo. No no.
In times of panic-induced infatuation, let’s remember that someone can be a better leader than Trump during a crisis and still not deserve our praise. Particularly when the leader in question helped set the stage for many of the devastating challenges we now face as coronavirus sweeps the nation.

As our state and federal governments struggle to provide enough testing, hospital beds, and ventilators to contain coronavirus, we must ask why one of the wealthiest countries in the world is so woefully unprepared for this pandemic. Yes, Trump has tried to defund the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told Americans that coronavirus is a hoax, and has generally left reality in the dust. But how did we get here in the first place?

Despite Cuomo’s recent efforts to brand himself as a “progressive,” the governor has led as a corporate-friendly Democrat for years — putting himself and his wealthy donors above the well-being of working New Yorkers. He’s provided inadequate funding for public housing, gone to war with labor unions, and vetoed protections for low-wage workers. While many Democrats in red states brave steep resistance to defend progressive policies, Cuomo has blocked pro-worker policies in solid-blue New York. He put single-payer health care on ice, refused to fully fund public schools, and cut critical housing vouchers for formerly homeless families. The list goes on. (Teen Voguehas reached out to Cuomo’s office for comment).

Is anyone mechanical-enough to know...

Can CPAP machines (ubiquitous) be altered and maybe ganged to create ventilators?

The machine has to pump a certain amount of air, stop, switch the valve to exhale naturally, then pump again.

CPAP machines (at least some) are programmable. They adjust their flow more or less based on that programming/sensing demand.

Basically, they pump air, are (a little) configurable, and air valves (printable via rapid prototyping now) can be ganged by smart mechanics.

Cuomo is neolib slime.

http://nypost.com/2019/10/03/the-making ... -reckless/
As The New York Times reports, the gov OK’d a $140 million-a-year bump in Medicaid reimbursements for hospitals soon after the Greater New York Hospital Association complied with his campaign’s “request” for a “donation” to the state Democratic Party.
He cut 2.5 Billion from state funding for Medicaid and low-income health programs.

https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny- ... story.html

And, of course, he blames Trump and wants more Federal money, though he's already getting 3 billion.

It's all Trump's fault now. Unless it's Obama's fault. And Obama made jokes at the correspondents' dinner, and that is how we got Trump. So really, it's all Obama's fault. But he was born in Kenya so it's Kenya's fault.

Thousand of Federal Government (delivered) Ventilators found in New York storage. N.Y. must distribute NOW!
Reminds me of when Trump was roasted for not sending aid to Puerto Rico (which was found locked in warehouses after)

I wonder if there is a difference in response for countries which have different dominant religions...A shit-ton of priests in Italy died, for example. They had habits which involved touching...

Muslim golf. It's more like Frisbee Golf but you use the severed head of an infidel instead of a frisbee.
