Continuation of the thread.
Please use this thread to consolidate the discussion and stories.
“Easier with an upright freezer. Stocks on the top shelf. Chicken on the next. Pork on the 3rd. Beef below that. Door and basket for veggies and odd sized packages.”
But uses more power, which is costly if running on generators. That’s kept me with chest units.
The 1918 virus always had a W curve. This virus does not.
Too early to tell on the W curve—China has hit the pause button with mass quarantines, but we do not know if they have actually hit the stop button.
We are less than 2 months into the real spread of this virus.
Get back to us in a cpl 2 or 3 years...
The chicoms have their tentacles everywhere.
Johns Hopkins kowtowed to the ChiComs, on their WuHuFlu map???
Thanks for that paper by JH !
Hoping the second item is what occurs.
Prayers UP!!!
So.
How many at ‘Johns Hopkins (sic)’ are in the pay of the CCP/PLA.
How many at HHS/NIH/CDC(p)?
It’s apparent that the chicoms outright own our entire scientific infrastructure.
True but the chest freezers don’t lose all their cold air when you open the top and the frost build up is a LOT less.
I will feel a _whole_ lot more comfortable about that when we hit January, 2021.
The Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center, which maintains an interactive map tracking the number of coronavirus cases worldwide, has changed how it refers to Taiwan, Axios has learned. Instead of “Taiwan,” the map now uses “Taipei and environs.”
Why it matters: The change tracks closely with how the Chinese government prefers to refer to Taiwan, which it views as part of Chinese territory.
Screenshots from early February show that the JHU coronavirus map still used “Taiwan” as a category under a section called “Confirmed cases by country/region.”
But now the map uses “Taipei and environs,” referring to Taiwan’s capital city and surrounding areas.
What they’re saying: When contacted by Axios, Lauren Gardner, an associate professor of civil and systems engineering at JHU who directs the map project, said that they had just caught the change and would be changing it back to “Taiwan” immediately.
“John Hopkins prof article predicts tenfold case increase per week (not testing, actual cases)—Lookner”
The early numbers (we’re talking about late January) out of China said the R0 was 3.8. And incubation 5-7 days on average.
Try running your predictions with a 3.8x multiplier every 5 days. The numbers get very big very fast.
And the Johns Hopkins R0 appears to be even more aggressive.
Smith College (MA) students given until 3/20 to move out of their dorms. Classes are canceled for the rest of the year.
I know because my daughter is one of them. :(
Lookner:
Ivy League and Big West NCAA tournaments—no spectators.
Haven’t heard about March Madness yet—only a week away.

We have been wondering about this a while.
Watched the WH Press Conf earlier. Gotta say, Trump did very well in putting Pence in charge, from a media perspective. He is very polished, calm and reassuring. He has a firm grasp on the questions he is answering. The perfect face to put out front. Even the far left Dem Governors are praising him. If we come out of this looking more like South Korea than Italy, Pence will have banked some real credibility, and will be the heir apparent for 2024. If we are like Italy, Trump is likely out and Pence is Dan Quayle.
Per Lookner: now there are shortages in the chemicals needed to do the testing
Good!!
They got called out on it....some lefty employee likely altered the name.
Many of the US airlines changed the name of Taiwan, in their systems, too.
The virus has a couple strikes against it: today's response vs 1918, mutation rate, warmth.
We will actually know in a few months at most about those factors and won't need to wait 2-3 years.
N. Vancouver (Canada?)—Lynn Valley Assisted Living—2 elderly residents test positive, 4 health care workers test positive—one new one today.
