Some people are blaming President Trump for this. The FDA has since approved limited use of chloroquine for widespread trials.

Mark_Wallace2-Apr-20 6:28

Yes, the FDA has announced it properly.

Trump knows that there are people whom fanatically hang on his every word, and do exactly as he says. He has to learn to simply repeat what the experts are telling him, rather than make stuff up on the fly to sound impressive.

God only knows how much damage he's done by downplaying the whole thing, but it is pretty much a certainty that it had a bearing on the the unnecessarily high number of infected people in the US.

Countries that locked down quickly, and imposed restrictions on public activities immediately have, for obvious reasons, had far better outcomes.

April Fool's Jokes

I don't think most April Fool's jokes are very funny. Most of them are lame. However, here's a few over the years that I do remember that I thought were very funny.

But CNN, and many others on this site, says we are not allowed to have fun or humor today, April Fools' Day pranks are not funny right now. Don't do them. - CNN[^]

CNN should complain. They're very funny, except when they're tragic.

I could go for "April Fools' Day pranks are just not funny. Don't bother", but all this does is make them look like bandwaggoning prats.

I can't tell if these articles are just sarcasm and a joke or serious?

Too bad, we could use a little laughter this year!
Agreed that corona "jokes" aren't funny, but dangerous and those people were rightfully arrested.

However, I don't think companies such as Google don't do jokes because "it's not funny" or "inappropriate".
They don't do jokes because this whole corona thing is costing them lots of money and there's just no time, budget or people to make jokes this year.

Best,
Sander

I went through all school including high school equivalent with a book of log tables! No fancy slide-rule technology for me - never mind a calculator!

- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

With a slide rule, anything after the third significant digit had to be figured out in your head, so log and trig tables were still needed if the answer had to be accurate.

The HP-45 was still high-end at the time. The HP-65 (programmable) had just come out that year.

Me too!

Started Uni with a double-scale slide rule, finished with some weird 12 digit calculator which only had a 6 digit display!. Went all the way through school (until my last year) using my father's old 7 figure log tables. Still got them: showed them to a class of 14 year old IT students recently - they'd never even heard of them!

I had a circular slide rule - fitted neatly in the inside pocket and was easier to use than a linear 6" rule.

I saw those in the uni shop and was tempted, but I was on student money and had to pinch pennies.
