iknownadaaloton CDC outlines what closing schools, businesses would look like in US pandemic

Honest question, do those percentages add up?

Ex: You're 35, but you have asthma and high blood pressure.

Does that mean your mortality rate is 12.7%?

Also, your list says: > no pre-existing conditions 0.9% and > 10-19 years old 0.2% Does that mean a teenager with no pre-existing conditions has 1.1% mortality rate, or is it just 0.9%, or just 0.2%?

I'm honestly asking cause I know nothing about disease or mortality rates.

Actually, it's not as bad as you think.

tl;dr - All you need is a bathtub, a WaterBob, and 10 teaspoons of bleach.

The average bathtub holds about 80 Gallons of water, that's enough for two and a half people for 30 days. The rule of thumb is one gallon per person per day. See: https://www.beprepared.com/blog/18680/much-water-store/

I always have a few of these things called "The Water Bob" stored in a closet, a few cause QC isn't that great. Its like a giant plastic bag that sits in your tub and holds water.

You can add 1/8 teaspoon (or 8 drops) of household bleach per gallon to get potable water. See: https://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/pdf/emergency/09_202278-b_m...

I only know this cause I lived over seas during the first gulf war, and we had to have prep stuff for scud attacks. We didn't have the WaterBob, but there were plenty of 50gal plastic storage containers. When the sirens went off, we set the jugs to fill in the showers, and hid in our inner most room. Fun times all around really. Free gas masks though! So that was nice.

iknownadaaloton Google is moving EU citizens’ data to US?

+1 on this question. Google has become a mire of EULA's and opacity, so getting data from THE data company is now nigh on to impossible.

iknownadaaloton Google is moving EU citizens’ data to US?

Again I am really dumb, so I don't know how to check if my data has been moved to a US controller. Also, I got the same email (multiple times, thanks Google), and I live in the US.

Example: some_command -> where your data is stored at. I don't know how to verify that information.

iknownadaaloton Google is moving EU citizens’ data to US?

I think they only read the part about the UK? Maybe?

However, the article still kinda vague to me, cause I got the same email, and I'm mos def in the US.

I'm so deeply inside the US that I have no idea how to check where google stores my data, and I don't really care cause the US has some bigger orange fish to fry. And pie to bake. Ajit Pie!!

And by that, I mean I got that same email. And I definitely live in the US. Please cite sources of them actually moving [your] data to Google LLC and or US.

kinda clickbait [edit for clarity] Please cite where [your] data is now stored and how you found that information. Cause I'm US based and I got the same email! WTF Google?
