If I had time I'd write a longer response...part of the reason we are experiencing this current "lockdown with no end in sight" is because a) the disease got out of hand here in the US coupled with b) we really, do NOT know much about the disease, and so far our attempts to find out more have...

Following up on what is going on with the search for treatments, a large and seemingly well-run study of hydroxychloroquine found no treatment benefit, and actually seemed to have worse outcomes for the patients. This adds to a growing body of research that shows similar results (i.e., no...

Great video! Trigger warning, he talks about differential equations, but, answered my question about why the exponential growth estimates were so good initially: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qrp40ck3WpI

(checks calendar...not April 1st) ok then, Woo-hoo! for whenever it finally happens!

Your house can run Star Citizen! That is so cool!

That's right, do it for the children! lol Now Montoya can watch Frozen ALL. DAY. LONG.

I can sell you one of my accounts! ha ha ha

FYI, this is a current rundown of the drugs being looked at for treating COVID-19: https://www.livescience.com/coronavirus-covid-19-treatments.html This article had a nice little write-up about remdesivir...undoubtedly anything that is shown to be effective is going to be "fast-tracked", but...

Correct. It has been a big assumption that having antibodies would potentially give immunity, but it has been acknowledged we don't really know that. However, people have been making a lot of plans based on that assumption. As you well know, when you "assume" you make the "ass" out of "u" and...

Hammer and chisel? I'm afraid you probably need to use something environmentally unfriendly...the kind of chemicals that one whiff will impair your lung functioning forever...you may not want to use during the COVID-19 pandemic, however. After you do clean it, the best thing then is either...

This is interesting (and scary) development: S. Korea says that 141 patients who recovered from COVID-19 have tested positive again...it is going to take a couple of weeks to figure out what is going on, but this could be a real game-changer, and not in a good way...

And they say men do nothing around the house! lol

This brings up my #1 COVID-19 question: Why am I gaining weight? In fact, I think I gained another 5 pounds just looking at that picture...

You are lucky it didn't shit all over you or your lawn!

Cool! Where's @Wolfy? I think he is the head of Xenothreat, ha ha

Yeah, my brother-in-law (a really, really bright guy, worked in industry before going into academia full-time because he wanted to do more research) subscribes to the theory that there was an accidental virus release at a Chinese research lab. I'm still at the stage where I'm going with the...

That is a gross oversimplification, i.e., that *Nations* act as people. In the case of China, I'm always careful to distinguish between the Chinese *people* vs. the Chinese *government*. The people of China seem to want to be free, just like us, but their *government* uses various means...

Wait, it wasn't just once, he has a *HISTORY* of defending pedophiles?

You think you had a tough day? http://www.cnn.com/travel/article/france-fighter-jet-ejection-scli-intl/index.html

This was in the paper, they took the data from 2016-18 for the other diseases and averaged them to come up with an avreage weekly total, and then used last weeks COVID-19 deaths to make a comparison (since we won't have the data for 2020 for the other diseases for a year or more...sheesh, the...
