That’s a good use of the high-speed trains.
Several days ago, I spoke with my brother in Colorada via skype. He said he had a surprise for me.
He had adopted a beautiful chocolate lab female pup named Kona. It brought tears to my eyes, because I assumed that people would not be adopting dogs at this time.
Now Kona was not a rescue or pound pup. He said his neighbor had a liter, and that all pups had been adopted by neighbors.
His wife indicated to me that she knew that local pounds were empty. Apparently people are indeed adopting dogs at a higher rate than normal for companionship, which was splendid news to me!
I thought to myself earlier this evening, how many times have I heard in my life of people making animals sick?
Never.
This thing is madness.
“What still gets me is when I see a fat nutritionist.”
They follow their own recommendations.
Doesn’t have to be proven, in order to give useful information on what to look at.
Well, sure. They don’t want people stockpiling it just in case they need it.
I see daylight around the corner with the test and the drug being available as soon as you have symptoms.
I still don’t think things will ever be the same.

‘The damage was done’: Coronavirus outbreak at N. Texas center sickens 75 (4/5/20)
That is fascinating! I wondered specifically about influenza too.
Never even thought of Mumps or MRSA.
Not sure what to make of second hand smoking, but I guess it makes sense.
Here’s a FR thread, about same doc...from yesterday....
NY ER Doc Says We’re Treating the Covid-19 Virus ALL WRONG
https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3831766/posts
Now compare these to the bat viruses, the pangolin viruses, and others such as filoviruses and AIDS.
” In some states, golf is okay as long s no carts, maintain social distance, leave flag as-is, no use of rakes, etc. As long as people are abiding by those stipulations, is there a problem with playing golf? “
I agree with the above and believe that the lack of credible information has people needlessly paranoid of picking up a few virons, considering their immune system (assuming healthy) will make minced meat of those virons in no time flat. The key is staying outdoors in open air, and having some separation from others if there’s no wind blowing.
One qualifier though - I would be worried somewhat about the risk of using public restrooms. I’m still trying to figure out how that could be worked, although for men (at least), there are other options.
Ut oh....not good.
Send her to Qom, one way.
Daily percentage of new Corona virus deaths to previous day's total by country. 25% = total deaths double every 3 days, 20% = every 4 days, 15% = every 5 days, 10% = about 1 week, 5% = about 2 weeks.
Please pardon the macabre numbers. Unfortunately they are necessary to understand the progression of the coronavirus. My simple projection algorithm, having nailed two previous projections, several days out, and barring a change in tonight's numbers (sometimes they change) posted at the worldofmeters website, overestimated 5 April by 384 deaths in the US. The previous estimate was 10,000. Tonight, the worldofmeters tally for the US is 9,616. I'm very glad the numbers are well under the original estimate.
As you can see by the plot above, and barring any issues with data, something is working in our favor. Have we reached a turning point? It's probably too early to tell just yet.
After changing the ND/TD score value in the algorithm I use, I have revised numbers for 10 April of 17,328 instead of 20,000, and for 15 April, 27K instead of 37K.
