So how does one advocate for their state to move towards decriminalization?

As a legitimate AI research engineer, I 100% agree with the take of the OP (particularly with the example self-proclaimed "Forbes AI Innovator of the Year"): I'm not salty because I'm jealous... I want more people to learn ML and Data Science, I just don't want them to learn snake oil selling. I'm particularly salty because being a snake oil salesman and a shameless self-promoter seems to be a legitimate path to success. As an academic and a scientist, it bothers me that people listen to advice from such snake oil salesmen.

Yes... He says equal risk of covid here or Chicago (where'd I go stay with family), NYC definitely has more resources, and it's moving west.

> if I did get sick and was hundreds of miles away from any of my family members

I'm concerned about this as well.

> I'm pretty confident that bunkering in my apartment is the right call.

Thank you, that's reassuring

Damn. What is safe though? Is it safe to rent a car? Better to drive across the country and stay with family, where healthcare systems aren't crumbling? Or find a random cabin upstate NY to rent, but risk access to healthcare?

Good points, but a back-of-envelope calculation looks like:

P(failure) = P(infection) * P(critical) * (1-P(icu))

0.1 * 0.8 * 0.9 = 0.072

That infection probability is optimistic, considering what you mention above. That ICU availability probability is the situation we're facing in NYC.
