In the last two days, Iāve written some JavaScript to help a UX colleague and then built a custom Chrome Extension to solve a problem for a different set of colleagues. Being a technologist is fun when you use your skills to help others :D

The irony of it all is that I found warren just so much more ālikeableā than either remaining male candidate. But likeability is a feeling and is about *me* while policy proposals are real. Who I want to āhave a drink withā is irrelevant.

I'll hold my nose and vote for Biden in the general election if it comes to that, but there is no way in hell I'm voting for him in the primary.
Guess I'm a reluctant Bernie supporter nowā¦

Collective action is hard. Itās Seattleās moment to decide the path ahead.
I stand by that statement because it strikes me as straightforward: our collective action, right now, can meaningfully alter outcomes in the Seattle metropolitan region. Iām impressed with the measures King County public health has taken so far, including yesterdayās request that all employees who can work from home should work from home. I was happy to see Microsoft and others in the tech community quickly follow suit.
My statement also came with a retweet of Scott Gottlieb arguing that we need to go further. This led to a tart reaction from a fellow traveller in the local tech community:
People need to stop confusing āfirst US outbreakā with āonly fucking place we are testing because we said fuck waiting for those test kitsā
There are several things to tease apart here.
First: yes, Seattle has a better understanding of where it stands than probably any other region in the US because smart researchers in our area effectively routed around the CDC. Weāre both lucky and good.
Second: as of relatively recently, we are not the only region in the US to test for COVID. Community spread has been detected in CA, OR, NY, NJ, RI, and NC. I donāt know what the state of testing is across the US, or even in those regions, but itās definitely not zero.
Third: we have more confirmed COVID deaths in Washington State than anywhere else. Some of this is unquestionably due to lack of early testing elsewhere. Itās not impossible but it does seem unlikely that, as of today, this volume of COVID deaths has been missed in any other region. As a result, I think itās fair to assume that while there are plenty of undetected cases of COVID across the states, the Seattle metropolitan region and perhaps the Bay Area are probably further along than most.
Finally: at least one Twitter reply described Gottliebās thread as āextremely dangerousā. I suspect we read it quite differently. I read it as an argument that Seattle should seek assistance from the federal government, and that the federal government should tie such assistance to the enactment of even sharper measures to curtail the spread of the disease. Gottlieb appears to argue that Seattle should go first because, by luck of the draw, all eyes are on us. This all seems sensible to me and I generally agree with it. On the other hand, if Gottlieb intended to suggest that the federal government should seize control of public health response in the Seattle region, or that Seattle is the only region for which measures must be takenā¦ well, no, I wouldnāt agree with that at all.
