The following message is copied in full (with some modification) from the "COVID-19 Mutual Aid - Seattle" Facebook group. The original is available here:

The difference between a furry and a cryptid is lighting and angle 😛

@Kat@snouts.online Dragalia is good content.

@noiob @ticky Requires a source of power over USB as well. Battery on my solar graph was an extra $50, but provides its own solar power to the Pi independent of my power grid at home.

@noiob @ticky My own method of doing so has been connecting Pi Zero Ws to a display via GPIO pins, scraping image data from a web daemon are home. Hardware cost is ~$60 per tag though, which isn't cheap unless you buy bulk supply.

@noiob @ticky In all seriousness, the most commonly cited use case I've seen is inventory control tags, which I think are in use today but not widely used at retail.

back in 2015 some researchers came up with an e-ink display device which was powered entirely by harvesting joules from the NFC connection your phone used to talk to it, and I’m honestly kind of shocked these aren’t all over the place now? alansonsample.com/research/NFC

covid-19, preparedness, uncomfortable science 

I don't want to interpret more from these data, since not much is known at this point and people are afraid right now.

My own conclusions for now, re, what I can control beyond medical preparedness: consider skipping large gatherings and travel, even if it's majorly disruptive and reported cases are still low, until adequate testing is available. And please have a plan in place, both for illness and in case major con travel gets disrupted.

covid-19, preparedness, uncomfortable science 

Takeaways from my reading of it:

1. Asymptomatic cases are primarily responsible for community spread.
2. There is a lag time of up to two weeks between figures being reported and the number of cases in the wild.
3. When accounting for clusters and other factors, morbidity rate from illness is closer to 0.5-0.9%.
4. However, that rate is much higher when medical facilities are overrun by severe cases.

Despite the alarmist URI and use of crude extrapolation methods (clustering, simplified mathematical models without more available data), this is the best explainer I've seen so far on how to interpret data from media reports and what to expect the spread and impact of covid-19 to look like: medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronav

@chr In these matchups, the water nation should have swept the board on type advantage. Which... checks out, tbh.
