I am best man for a wedding in November, they still haven't sent out the invitations. One of my co-workers is getting married the same day and they sent out theirs. Outside of a couple from France, everyone is local and committed to showing up. My best friend and his fiance have been through a lot together, so waiting a little while longer won't make any difference for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet China completely locks down over 600,000 people. Definitely interesting seeing the vastly different ways Nations react to this whole thing.

LETSGOBROWNIES Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Quite a reaction from a country with only 83,000 cases thus far. 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 And before I cause any butt frustrations or confusion, I’m joking about their obvious underreporting of the number of cases they’ve had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mission27 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 5/22/2020 MoL Scores: Methodology and disclaimer: MoL score is a simple metric for measuring rate of spread of the novel coronavirus within communities. The metric was developed by mission and TLO and has not been subjected to academic peer review. The MoL looks at a trailing average of daily new cases and compares this to trailing active cases within the community. These rankings do not represent the opinion of anyone other than mission and TLO and should not be taken as advice of any kind. Please note while the numbers themselves are objective calculations, smugness and Taylor Swift lyrics may factor into our commentary and decisions on tiers. The MoL reserves the right to make changes to this methodology at any time. Please follow all relevant governmental and/or WHO/CDC guidance. We will defeat this virus. "Losing him was blue like I'd never knownMissing him was dark grey, all alone" - Taylor Swift Today Baby Bart pictures showed up in my inbox Tier 1: Outbreak under control, safe to begin relaxing social distancing measures Tier 1 countries are pretty,... pretty... pretty good How to safely open up in Tier 1? Take a look at the MoL method for proper easing, otherwise known as the MoL public health cost benefit matrix. Israel: 0.4 Netherlands: 0.4 France: 0.4 Belgium: 0.8 Japan: 0.8 Italy: 0.9 Portugal: 1.0 UK: 1.1 New Zealand (New): 1.2 Switzerland: 1.8 Australia: 1.8 Spain: 1.9 South Korea: 1.9 Czech Republic: 2.0 USA: 2.1 Sweden: 2.5 Philippines: 2.5 Singapore: 2.6 Turkey: 3.2 Germany: 3.6 Austria: 4.6 China: 6.0 Hong Kong: 6.2 Tier 2: New case growth is minimal suggesting social distancing is working, likely a few weeks away from breaking into tier 1 Tier 2 countries aren't doing as well as Tier 1 countries, but eh, we'll give 'em a pass, why not! Especially since Larry doesn't want to get fatwahed again. Ireland: 2.6 Global: 3.1 Canada: 3.5 (back at the all time low!) Russia: 4.8 Denmark: 4.9 Tier 3: Countries in this group that are showing increased MoLs have the potential to go deep into the danger zones, but countries with falling MoLs may only be a couple of days from tier 2 status and may have already peaked in gross # of new cases These countries could really do a lot better if they followed common decency standards, like washing their hands or respecting wood India: 10.6 Iran: 12.0 Brazil: 13.6 Tier 4: Aggressive growth, still likely have not peaked in single day cases, and likely a week or two minimum from peak in deaths (however many of these countries are still slowing down) We feel very bad for the last Tier 4 country remaining on our list, the Mexico. Its like that time Funkhauser became an orphan at 60 (RIP Funkhauser). Mexico: 26.1 USA State Level MoLs Smug! MoL Deaths Another solid drop in the death rate which is now 43% below the all-time high of 4 weeks ago. Canada Quebec doing big league, lets ******* go!@JBURGE The MoL would like to thank everyone for their contributions to this important work including @ET80 @acowboys62 @dtait93 @Dome @naptownskinsfan @kingseanjohn @Malfatron @Shady Slim @malagabears @daboyle250 @vikesfan89 @ramssuperbowl99 @sdrawkcab321 @Nazgul @kingseanjohn @TwoUpTwoDown @Xenos @Nex_Gen @FinneasGage @TVScout @seriously27 @N4L and the others who love us so much We'd even like to thank @pwny @Glen and others for their critical attitude because of the attention it brings to the great work MoL is doing @TLO The message of this gif is that the MoL is signing out until tomorrow (although we reserve the right to **** on anyone who questions our authority on these matters) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
