Here's something positive...if you call taking an on-line class positive, lol https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/23/health/yale-happiness-course-wellness/index.html

Keep your hands out of your face! Seriously, the eyes have mucus membranes, you want all that virus stuff getting in and going into your blood stream, do exactly that ;^)

Along the lines of "DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU" a local fellow in my county blew up his RV...he was welding near a propane tank, started to watch an instructional YouTube video, and decided he wanted a cigarette...yup...you guessed it. My favorite part...

I don't know your exact situation, but if I were you, I would start (if you haven't already) stockpiling food so that you could last for any length isolation. People have a bad habit of ignoring things, and then over-compensating when it is too late. Look at all the pictures of people...

here's an interesting interview with our nation's (not-yet-fired) top infectious disease expert, Dr. Fauci: https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/03/i-m-going-keep-pushing-anthony-fauci-tries-make-white-house-listen-facts-pandemic

That's great they removed that from behind the paywall. Also from that tweet...in countries that are lagging behind in testing, these numbers are going to be an undercount:

Well, so far we have been "civil," which means that a certain percentage of morons are acting on their racist impulses...not sure where we'll be if the lack of leadership (or even worse, blaming by leadership and certain media groups) continues...

Latest numbers... "Top Countries" i.e., just a selection, or else it would look like an inkjet puked on the graph: Top States...ditto above, plotting every state would be a mess This is the "log" graph, which turns the accelerating "33% daily rise" into a straight line, but separates out the...

It is important to note that that chart is *Deaths* only, not the number of people infected. (I'm basing the charts I make off the FT charts). What is interesting is (as the below article points out) Germany's death rate is much lower than other countries, esp. Italy's. So far, nobody knows...

Don't worry, we can't remember which port we "Shanghai-ed" you from, either. Welcome aboard!

There are things the US Govt. should be doing right now that they aren't. We've been seeing this pattern all along. If they are waiting for things to get worse before acting, all they have to do is wait 24 hours. If they are waiting for things to get much worse, all they have to do is wait 48...

Interesting article and video (the video is from 2006): https://www.ted.com/talks/larry_brilliant_my_wish_help_me_stop_pandemics?language=en https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/03/the-doctor-who-helped-defeat-smallpox-explains-whats-coming/

Thanks for posting that, that is an amazing interview, and an amazing doctor. I'm going to recommend that video to my colleagues.

Great news story about the awful experience the first WV patient had to go through (him and his wife) to get tested and confirmed as COVID-19 cases: https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/21/us/west-virginia-coronavirus-patient-one-test/index.html

lmao, 30 days PAID leave, gee that's a tough decision, I'd have to get back to you on that one... They should do it like Trader Joe's, where they are paying their employees a bonus for working now. And contrast that with Gamestop...who is telling their managers to stay open, that they are an...

Yes, that's just the nature of the damn beast. I phrased some things poorly in an earlier post. First off, the isolation measures are absolutely the right thing to do. However, if an infected person can infect others for 5-7 days before they show any symptoms, then the people the original...

Updated the charts for March 21st...the data is current through COB (close of business) March 20: Selected Top Countries (if I put every country here, you wouldn't be able to read it): Selected Top States (Texas isn't showing up for some reason, but they should be just above Colorado, with 394...

@ColdDog Funny you mention H1N1, although I'm not surprised you got yoru facts WRONG: H1N1 was a novel influenza that emerged from North America, (and not China). Read the H1N1 After-Action report by the CDC...the lessons were that PROMPT action, active surveillance and testing (along with...

Unfortunately, we are already on a bad trajectory. It will take at least 2 weeks for any of our social isolation measures to have any sort of impact. Probably longer, since we have been dribbling them out, and people haven't been taking it seriously. But, it will have a positive impact. Again...
