Reworked the method for graphing to track the change in doubling rate based on time frames from 1 day to 28 days.

Attached is the 7 day range growth curve -- basically the doubling time is computed using two dates 7 days apart and using the change between the two dates to computer the daily doubling rate for that range

Florida has a crazy spike because they didn't detect new cases over a 3 day period (might have been a weekend)

High numbers are good and the graph is reverse as to avoid the interpretation that things are getting worse

the farther down those lines go, the better it is for us all

"5 Minute Face Shield"

I threw some money at a local food pantry because apparently food pantries are being really leaned on RN (unsurprisingly) https://www.ksnblocal4.com/content/news/Hastings-Food-Pantry-serving-more-than-before-during-pandemic-569156331.html

BTW, it's strongly preferable to give cash, not food donations, to food pantries, who can get better deals in bulk themselves (and more useful food, in general). https://www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-blog/donating-food-food-bank-consider-cash-instead-canned-goods

But I wonder if food pantries will also need to pivot to a delivery model soon, using volunteer drivers? Are any doing so yet?

Hey Fediverse!

Do y'all have any recommendation for murder-mystery novels, crime noir style preferred, that have no cops or colonial justice system at all?

Boosts encouraged, thanks!
