Endgames:

- herd immunity, which is _far_off in most (all save for cruise ship-equivalents?) locales
- testing and tracing, both of which don’t exist and the latter of which probably will be rejected given a strong libertarian streak
- vaccine

(There’s an additional possible out of a very effective treatment regimen being utilized.

From the trial data I’ve seen before (and that many of whom have died were on variants of these “game changers” before death) I’m not particularly optimistic at the moment.)

So the outstanding question that matters at this point is what things will look like with a “strategy” of unevenly implemented (and maintained) partial mitigation effects until herd immunity, IMO.

Could the Imperial model be way off? Sure. Either way we are going to find out.

I guess management at PriceRite frowns upon giving Hockey Checks to idiots who block the aisles. But running into me with your cart as I wait for the folks in front of me is OK. Wearing a Mask makes it very difficult to bite people also. The CDC has no guidelines for Biting folks in Public just so you know.... Childrens should be required to be on leashes and muzzled in Public. Violators should be shot in the face after 10 of the folks closest to you cough on you. This all could be remedied if Stores built cages in the front of the store to put your children in while you are in the store.

That's where I'm at. Either things get better, the virus doesn't get transmitted as well, we've done enough to flatten it, OR, a bunch of people die, most of whom are the biggest Trump demographic. It's kind of a win-win if you think about it...

It’s killing black people at higher rates. Obesity and DM2. Unless Florida goes up in flames it’s not necessarily a bane to R voters.

Yeah but not changing gloves even.....and going from known Covid infected Pt to a non Covid Pt in contaminated gear is just beyond the pale

Agree, not acceptable. However, if not going between Covid patients, why not just use alcohol to disinfect the gloves? That is what we do when working in the LAF bench because we actually see more contamination in our cultures when changing all the time than with this procedure. Gloves are rolled into the cuffs or taped to labcoat too.

looks like a backlog of deaths got retroactively reported. Just shy of 6000 deaths for the 14th.

Remember when people were freaking out when 5 Americans died in Benghazi?

pssh

Not for this intrepid record keeper


That's the 'suspected' covids from NY


Benghazi different story. *ahem* was president so it's like dog years. Where one patriot = 12,000 people with the guy we voted for as president.

I am fine with that if 1 boomer vote = 1/12,000 of a normal one.

Model quantifies the impact of quarantine measures on Covid-19’s spread

A team of engineers at MIT has developed a model that uses data from the Covid-19 pandemic in conjunction with a neural network to determine the efficacy of quarantine measures and better predict the spread of the virus.

Obviously a liberal conspiracy algorithm.

Yeah I'm a little tired of these 'experts'.

I'm ready to get back on a plane that flies at 20,000 ft to go watch nascar safely. I ain't never benefited from no 'expert' in my life.

I am ready to go ride bikes in the woods by myself. Which shouldn't be a problem if it weren't for mass ignorance and lack of discipline. Every time I see the numbers of dead, half of me thinks "oh no, this is terrible" the other half is all

I'm bummed about shit paid grocery store workers. Getting to work from home I really do feel like royalty expecting the poorest people to be there for my whims, having to risk their own health. Having a bit of an existential crises over that one.

People like toshi who work for private hospitals though.......










Kidding! Kidding!
I promise


Other than the people forced to deal with these idiots, I think 'wave 2' really will primarily be the moron disease you've been asking for.

I work for a state university, for the record.

On the upside, this means admin isn't nearly as malignant as in a private equity-owned private hospital/group situation.

In Holland sticking my finger in a dike...

Another interesting talk with the South Korean Doc...
Lots of info on the immunity and mask debate.

He also mentions the chloroquine debacle,

“This is kind of an infodemic as well.
A president’s words are very important and nees to be carefully thought out”
