  1. Rental car icon Hertz filed going into the weekend. The airport staple is sitting on $19B in debt — most of its 700K cars haven't felt a human touch on their steering wheels in months. Hertz was hurting pre-corona, thanks to competition from peers like Avis and ride-hailing services. But near-nonexistent travel demand was the final nail in its deflated tire.

    Imagine what this will do to “Trucking” as we know it today

    Maybe Amazon will buy this company and set up nationwide (for now) physical warehouses called “Routers” where “Packets” (Packages w/ payloads)  (under 30lbs each for now) are routed physically similar to how we route them via TCP/IP using drones/robots to make “last mile” deliveries

    never mind  that 30lb. limit…. I’m seeing drone PLANES in this picture as well….. Woohoo…. We’re talking Jetson’s level now

  3. Q: Why does the macOS Catalina 10.15.4 update not install correctly?

    A: You are out of disk space

    • Clear out old, unneeded, unnecessary files until you clear out 20% free space then delete the trash
    • Boot into macOS Recovery Mode
      • Run Disk Utility to check the drive
      • Repeat running Disk Utility until it reports no repairs were made
    • Reboot normally
    • Update
    • Done

    The truth is that this pandemic could still potentially be in the early chapters.  The Spanish Flu pandemic lasted for three full years, and we could possibly be facing a similar scenario.

    And this week WHO official Mike Ryan warned that this virus could even become “endemic”, and if that happens it “may never go away”

    “It is important to put this on the table: this virus may become just another endemic virus in our communities, and this virus may never go away,” WHO emergencies expert Mike Ryan told an online briefing.

    “I think it is important we are realistic and I don’t think anyone can predict when this disease will disappear,” he added. “I think there are no promises in this and there are no dates. This disease may settle into a long problem, or it may not be.”

    In other words, Ryan is saying that this virus could become like a flu that keeps reappearing year after year.

    So what are we going to do if that happens?

    Are we supposed to have shutdowns every year whenever a new wave of COVID-19 infections starts happening?

    This Bar Chart shows the Mortality Rate of COVID19 infection worldwide for the top 15 countries as of 02.05.2020. In the right corner you see the worldwide total covid cases, the total covid19 deaths, the active coronaviruses and the recovered corona patients. Overall it’s the probability to die in a country when you are infected with the coronavirus. The Bar color represents the Continent.
