    There are a lot of facets to this coronavirus thing; a lot of ins, a lot of outs, a lot of what-have-yous, and politics is one of them. I'm not at all sorry that it bothers you, because that's the reality of it.

    Who is moderating this dumpster fire at this point?

    What?

    I will try to not let your quiver influence my impressions.

    Its mild and sunny here today, the river is that dark green color that means good fishing.

    Hope you feel better now that you have had a chance to vent.

    Oh and this back and forth? It is burying the stoke.

    TDS can kill any thread.

    I started a thread months ago about Greta and climate change hoping to have a rational discussion. It quickly became orange man bad and got flushed into the polyass basement.

    Almost any TPR thread can get derailed.
    Except the dog and kitty stoke.

    The polyasshats need to be shouted down and jonged and told stfu until they realize how much they are cunting up the TPR with Drumpf rants
    Kill all the telemarkers
    But they’ll put us in jail if we kill all the telemarkers
    Telemarketers! Kill the telemarketers!
    Oh we can do that. We don’t even need a reason

    I understand. You're upset because you keep reading posts you don't like and want an admin to move this thread so you will stop reading posts you get upset about.


    Sounds like a "you" problem.

    Please keep sharing your findings. You've been a really good source of useful data and perspectives. I've meant to say thanks for a while now, so thank you.

    Once tRump is gone then I'll shut up about him. Asking us to not rant about him is like telling someone to pretend their house isn't on fire, don't call 911, and carry on. You want us to ignore an existential crisis?!?!?!?

    lets see. 712 people on the diamond princess caught it. At least 13 have died (there are more, but they tested positive after disembarking so were counted in their respective countries). So that's 2% of infected dying, and that 'supposedly' includes asymptomatic cases. Although I assume there were a fairly large number that were exposed and fought it off before testing, and would show antibodies for it.


    Also, maths.
    350,000,000 x .01 x .0001 = 350 dead. hmmmmmm, it seems we have exceeded that by a factor of over 100 so far and we're not halfway there yet.

    Around 80k die from diabetes each year. We will surpass that easily even with social distancing. Without social distancing it would be much much higher.


    edit- another thing to consider is how long ago the Diamond Princess breakout occurred. There are still 7 people on respirators.

    Unfortunately some studies seem to be saying normal temps you would cook meat to are not sufficient to kill rat flu. Apparently surviving up to boiling. I hope it might die with the time frame needed to package and ship to stores and then get purchased.

    More on the droplet vs aerosol discussion. Ten people, out of 91 potential, in a restaurant were infected if they sat at the same table as the infectious person or sat at tables directly in line with AC ducts spreading larger droplets. None of the staff or people sitting at other tables were infected by small aerosolized droplets.

    It's another data point suggesting properly used masks offer protection. The researches advise "better temperature-monitoring surveillance, increasing the distance between tables, and improving ventilation." Which, FWIW, are things the TGR crowd here proposed some time ago back when Rat Flu was just a worry dream. #notallpolyass

    In a series of all-caps tweets, Mr. Trump declared “LIBERATE MICHIGAN!” and “LIBERATE MINNESOTA!” — two states whose Democratic governors have imposed social distancing restrictions that have shut down businesses and schools and forced people to remain at home. He also tweeted “LIBERATE VIRGINIA, and save your great 2nd Amendment. It is under siege!”
    Mr. Trump’s tweets were a remarkable example of a president egging on demonstrators. Earlier this week, more than 1,000 protesters organized by conservative groups created a traffic jam on the streets around the State Capitol in Lansing, to complain that the restrictions were bad for small businesses. Over protesters, not in vehicles, waved banners in support of Mr. Trump and protested Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who has been a target of Mr. Trump’s ire, by chanting, “Lock her up.”"

    Edit: whoops, sorry, just woke up from my nap. Hard to keep up. Hey, market is up!

    When a reporter asked Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, “What is the medical evidence?” Trump stopped him from answering, and at one point said this: “What do I know? I'm not a doctor, but I have common sense.”

    Look, I hope the drug turns out to be helpful. But this statement is bad. This kind of thinking is no basis for a public health strategy in a pandemic. I mean, if you look back historically, common sense does not have a great track record against science.

    Of course, if there’s a ton of evidence for something politicians don’t want to hear about, like global warming, they’re more fastidious. When researchers say their models are imperfect, climate deniers jump on that and say, therefore, it’s too soon to take action.

    It seems like we could all use a little refresher on the nature of science—what it is and what it really does.
