> Since the beginning of this week, all patients in the university hospital have undergone a CT scan - a good indicator of whether someone is infected - including those who do not show any symptoms of the virus and are therefore in hospital for normal hospitalization. The first results show that 5 out of 50 patients - or about 10 percent - are infected without their knowing it and therefore do not show one symptom.

"I think this is a representative figure," said Van Ranst in VTM NEWS. “Some of the people are going through corona without having any symptoms. This is of course good in the se…

7:34 AM

Morning

@TomV-trytopanswers.xyz Sounds like good news then

Depends how you look at it

While on one hand it's good that people are developing resistance without getting sick, but they are also infecting people without knowing

good morning fine people!

how's life in isolation for you these days?

7:52 AM

@Marian Luckily the weather is good

And you?

8:05 AM

Going to snow in parts of Switzerland again soon, or so they say.

That's going to be beautiful, snowy mountains without thousands of people skiing on them

Otherwise ok. Got a little cough. No fever, no sore throat, no shortness of breath. Could be just a pollen thing.

@Johnakahot2use it's the season for all kinds of colds, allergies.. get well soon

@TomV-trytopanswers.xyz same nice weather here, sunny, 10-12 C.. seems to warm up a bit

I'm glad to have a garden (albeit small) these days

@Marian Thanks.

8:15 AM

@TomV-trytopanswers.xyz I'm glad to have a balcony these days :)

8:41 AM

I'm glad I wasn't on a cruise ship when it started

9:03 AM

Morning, a bit of snow here yesterday.

9:24 AM

wow

in Spain?

9:52 AM

We have only been in lockdown for 2 weeks and we already reversed global warming

10:13 AM

@Johnakahot2use North Spain, yes

@TomV-trytopanswers.xyz at least pollution is a bit down, indeed

@TomV-trytopanswers.xyz And some animals in the big cities, wild boards, dolphins in Venice, Otters...

@McNets lol, nice.. nature comes back

@Marian yes 😉

10:36 AM

10:53 AM

@McNets looks relaxing to me to be fair :)

That's the text of the tweet: La naturaleza se está relajando.
Nature is relaxing.

11:15 AM

Boris Johnson has coronavirus

@PaulWhite9 no way, really?

@Marian according to the BBC yes

has tested positive

twitter.com/BorisJohnson/status/1243496858095411200

@PaulWhite9 how is it going on NZ?

@McNets The day just ended was our second day of complete lockdown

No one has yet died, but we do have our first case in intensive care

@PaulWhite9 good luck, and keep you and your family safe.

11:34 AM

@McNets same to you!

11:57 AM

@PaulWhite9 It gets easier after 2 weeks

Well I'll give you this: It gets.

@PaulWhite9 stay safe, Paul

you'll get to talk to plants next week

and then, at the end of the week they'll start talking back to you

@Marian I ordered garden plants online for the first time ever, they were just delivered

I'm surprised they are in a decent state after being in a cardboard box for 3 days and handled by postal services

I expected worse

@PaulWhite9 I'm curious if now he's wishing he acted a bit sooner, not with all that herd immunity crap on a community without a vaccine

@TomV-trytopanswers.xyz not bad, do you have a garden? or transforming your balcony in one?

@Marian It's a small garden, but given that I live pretty close to the city centre I'm happy with it. 6mx10m or something

12:07 PM

nice, it should suffice for the eyes I guess

provides a bit of relaxing times

Yeah or just a place to sit outside and read without having to go to a nearby crowded park

@TomV-trytopanswers.xyz that's a forest in some places!

@TomV-trytopanswers.xyz can you go to the park? is it allowed?

Theoretically it's allowed if you go alone or with a family member. I avoid it now since it's full of people who went there alone

The riverside close to where I live looked like the ramblas last time I was nearby (last Tuesday)

12:14 PM

we can go to the grocery, bakery and the pharmacy. and you can by tobacco too.

Also, loose dogs, I hate them

@TomV-trytopanswers.xyz me too, but only while on a bike.. while running I'm ok with them

I like dogs but the owners should be kept on a leash

@Johnakahot2use yep, hilarious (that's what I used as a source for my joke, saw it a few days ago)

No seriously, people who think it's a good idea to let their dogs loose in a park full of people are egoistic

And that comes from somebody who has had several dogs, you just shouldn't trust any animal in a crowded place. If they think the dog will come back because they yell if it's scared or startled they are wrong

12:39 PM

@Marian we are not allowed to run bikes, or running, because of a possible accident

I miss it

oh, nothing at all? :(

that's indeed bad

we're allowed for a short jog around the area.. probably I'm lucky I have a deserted park nearby

12:57 PM

covidvisualizer.com

@McNets surely that means the cops cant chase you, either, because of a possible accident

also, that's a really cool map

but why did they do it in spooky colors?

not to break up the gripping pandemic discussion - but if anyone around these parts has the mental space for a docker question... i'm trying to figure out if it's possible to get docker to grab files from a symlink while it's mounting a new volume

@James obviously they can, I could go to my office because I have a certificate, but ... it's closed

@James because it's spooky, duh

@James it runs fine in mobile too

1:06 PM

UK Health secretary has tested positive too. Ironically.

1:22 PM

@PeterVandivier You mean a symlink inside a mounted volume? or a symlink to the folder to be mapped?

a symlink in the git repo to the actual data files to be loaded

looks like i'm eating from the wrong end of the ice cream cone

i just bit the bullet and copied all the files to the repo

they all need to be gitignored though, hence why i was thinking it'd be nice to symlink a single folder rather than manage a bunch of copies

Sounds masochistic :)

🤷‍♂️ it'd be easier if we had a shared dev environment where i could let the devs play, but sadly we do not because DOCKER ALL THE THINGZ

do you like docker? It sounds pretty great, except when it doesnt.

i don't hate it

to be fair it doesn't help that it's mongodb inside of docker

that reduces my affection somewhat

1:26 PM

lol, that does sound like debugging problems^2

how does it handle big-ish db's? like 30tb?

i'll let you know next time i try to deploy 30TB inside a docker instance

nice ;]

having plenty of trouble with half a gig rn
