Federal government should be collecting the food that is being destroyed and give it to the states to be able to sustain social distancing. That's what a competent government would do.

Key word being competent :(
Model suggests the virus spread widely in the US before detection. I've been banging this drum for a little while, it seemed to me like it had to be true. Part of this goes back to initial introduction/creation/birth if this virus, which I still believe was substantially earlier than we're hearing (even though they keep moving it back): https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/23/u...gtype=Homepage
well, i'm not about t get in a post fight with you all, but from here: https://bing.com/covid/local/unitedstates?form=COVD07Quote:

I really have no idea if someplace in Arkansas is a hot spot but with 95 fatalities for a state of 3 million, I would not think so
if true, I am liking Sweden more and more !Quote:

The doc has me optimistic.Quote:

In the race to find a treatment, UofL says it has developed a technology believed to block SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, from infecting human cells. They explained it this way: The technology is based on a piece of synthetic DNA, or an “aptamer,” which targets and binds with a human protein called nucleolin.
If we get the best and brightest minds together
We might be able to build a fully automatic potato cannon to help with the shortage.
It's confusing things here because some people look at it and assume the Swedes are just operating business as usual and no one is social distancing, wearing masks, doing anything different. That's not what's happening and people are being mislead by their results IMO. Not that their experiment won't be useful from an analysis standpoint, but using it as a road map on how to react is probably not going to work well for other countries for a variety of reasons.Quote:

0.8% IFR, however this is misleadingly low because:
1. Antibody positive rates may be inflated due to false positives because we don't know how specific this test is.
2. Antibodies may be present in cases that have not yet but will develop COVID.
3. Many who have the disease have not yet died while the disease itself is still spreading (remember when SK where testing was super broad had a CFR of 0.85%? Now it's 2.2% because they are far past peak).
I bet IFR settles around 1-1.2%
C'est bon! He has a very simple message: 1) this virus is very easy to defeat and 2) the only reason it survives is because it's so fucking contagious.Quote:

I hate lumping NYC with the rest of the state given the large difference in positivity.Quote:

Again those are misleadingly low
Maybe Montana is doing its best to convince Bay Area and Seatle folks to work from home from their home state and not from Montana. Not that I have that option, but I'm not looking for property in Bozeman right now.
