I was taken off his patient rolls when he... became head of the internal medicine department at PAMF and reduced his patient count. I ended up moving to San Francisco shortly thereafter.

I was really happy with one of my prior primary care physicians because at one of my appointments with him he explained to me, very clearly, a very relevant statistical concept (which I likely would have asked about anyway, but he did it unprompted).

Hurricanes at home? Maybe the kids' parents already have enough to deal with without a hurricane. 😜
That said, 5th or 6th grade me would have been excited for this.
ATTENTION 4th, 5th, and 6th GRADERS! Our hurricane forecasters will be hosting a series of #HurricanesAtHome webinars over the next several weeks. Click the link below for more information on registering and to find the dates for where you live!

After I got back, it didn't seem like it was a good idea to go to the office if I didn't need to... so I haven't been to the office since February 21.

And then, interestingly, the most recent colleague I saw in person was @rocallahan, who I saw on March 6 when I took a 7 hour layover in Auckland in order to stop by for the morning plus lunch before my flight home.

Later on March 5 was the most recent time I saw others I currently work with, @w3ctag colleagues @cssrossen @sundress @kennethrohde @plinss @wz43rtx and @hober.

In particular, they're interesting because I traveled for a @w3ctag meeting in Wellington as we were realizing the magnitude of community spread in Santa Clara County.
The other Mozilla employee who I've seen in person most recently was Matt Woodrow, in Wellington, on March 5.

A random question I was thinking about last night:
Who was the last colleague I (or you) saw in person before the COVID-19 shutdowns?
I thought about it and realized my answers were a bit surprising.

Worth noting that Wuhan doesn't have a strong assumption of having indoor heating (although at least in the city restaurants/businesses tend to have it, unlike in towns 90 minutes away). So in January, it's often pretty cold indoors, too. It's south of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qinlin…

Haven't we been assuming for a month that the statewide shelter in place order matches the bay area one from a few days earlier, even though that's not at all what it said, since the governor seemed to think that?
See nitter.vloup.ch/marklemley/statu… or
Oh, and also, a good thread from a law professor (who you should follow if you're interested in fixing patent law!):
Comparing states without including all the local government revenue within them isn't really an apples-to-apples comparison, given that different states have significantly different balances between the state and local governments.
You could live in a city that was projecting in FY 2020 to have its hotel tax revenue ($29M) be more than half of its property tax revenue ($53M). (Sales taxes $34M, fwiw.)
Turns out that leaves a pretty big hole in the budget too.

One other comment: you have a bit of stuff using start/end/before/after side terminology, but I don't think anything uses that anymore -- it should all be inline-start/inline-end/block-start/block-end. (The intent is that it's less confusing.)
(Or does a spec still use that?)

Today had unusually few meetings -- given my meeting schedule there was no rush to get ready in the morning for my first meeting of the day... which is about to start now, at 10pm.
That's the @w3ctag life...

Isn't it 0.16% counting just the official count of COVID deaths *, never mind the uncounted excess mortality?
