I have no idea why but my nephew just got called back to his military base only 4 days into his paternity leave. He had 6 weeks and is in the process of being discharged. His baby was just born Saturday. WTF.

They’re called snowbirds. Their residence is up North somewhere but they have a place in FL for winter because winter in FL is like Spring up North. They have the means and free time to live in both places. Mostly a bunch of retired Union workers that made $40-50/hr and when they retire, that paycheck keeps coming in for life.

Hopefully it’s nothing more than “Stand By to Stand By”.

There are a lot of rumors about how Trump will invoke the Stafford Act. Of course, that has been denounced.

Seems like they might be preparing for more of a lockdown than what we have now

I am becoming more convinced every day that Trump found out this was a bioweapon

dfw—I have already decided that I am letting my hair grow until this is over.

People already think I am a crazy old man—might as well look the part!

Yeah, not a lot of people out and about, eh?

Everything from China is lies. And this is the biowarfare they are conducting.

If they would only tell the rest of the world their true data, we could all fight the virus together.

They are withholding their info in the hopes that they can contain the virus by their draconian measures, and that the West cannot take these same measures and will as a result be in a much weaker position.

I think the ChiComs actually war gamed this out.

Understand, and the Imperial College modeling has definitely informed U.S. and European decisions. However in the nomenclature of refined academia, conclusions from Taleb, et al’s response are damming. Statements like:

“However, they make structural mistakes ...”
“Their assumptions are equivalent to ergodicity . ..”
“The model they use . . . is therefore not well suited for incorporating real world conditions at fine or large scale.”
“Focusing on details but using incorrect assumptions makes for bad policy advice. Where lives are at stake, it is essential for science to adhere to higher standards.”

In gunfighting terms, the Imperial College team has been called out.

Hopefully the critics can build a better mousetrap—and then convince world leaders to use it.

That is above my pay grade for sure!

Lol!!

I know those grocery angels that you speak of.

I stocked up on Corn Kits on one of my last WallyWorld runs. Kicking myself for not getting the masa, dried red chilis and tomatillos I like to use.

Your premise is incorrect. Todays infections will not complete their course for at least 14 days. As long as hospital surge capacity is available, we will be lucky to keep the case fatality at 1.0.

People who become infected don't die the same day. The growth of deaths will follow the same exponential increase as infection.

This has been discussed many times in previous threads. From The Lancet:

Real estimates of mortality following COVID-19 infection.
