There has to be a way to wash the data, to prevent that from happening.
I am not claiming I could. But this seems like something that analysts would be tasked with routinely.
Anyhow, I am preparing for the worst (2 week quarantine), and hoping for the best. I know I have seen a number of posters say 2 weeks is not enough. But I figure, my wife will have killed me by then, so it won’t matter :)
If that makes me a doom troll, so be it!
I was wrong about the outcome of the impeachment. I got the answer I wanted, but not the answer I predicted. I am glad. I hope I am wrong about the virus, too. Really really really wrong!
A month of preps won’t be long enough.
You’ll likely be feeling icky for several days so won’t want to fight the Costco crowds before you realize you need to see a doctor. Then your state health dept. will tell your doctor you’re not sick enough to be tested. So, you go home until you’re feeling worse and maybe you’ll get tested then. You go home and have a few of your prep meals while you wait a week for the test results. By then your 2 weeks has passed. You pinky swear you’ll stay home for another 14 days with one can of beans left in the pantry. Of course, by then, Pence will convince the idiots at CDC to quarantine for 3 weeks but you’ll be dead from starvation or killed by your wife for not stocking up for at least a month. Ok, say you manage to get let out of self isolation but would you feel like fighting more Costco crowds immediately?
If you love your wife a little bit, don’t be a doom troll. At least get enough so she doesn’t starve. If not, then more for the rest of us.
If there is no data, it cannot be washed - so to speak.
People who have other contacts elsewhere or have knowledge of these sorts of things are trying to say something that cannot be said directly - so those who prefer to hide are free to do so or skip the comment - others would like to know more and should not be attacked or driven off
