Day 21 Corona Virus Thread

Best economic handling of the outbreak is to require people to apply for unemployment- NOT paying sick leave.

Should be ‘sweetened’ though...
“You’ll get your check in two weeks. Or you can go help stock goods and get it now.”

The structure of the demand for labor is very different during the outbreak. So address that.

UK is testing so slowly that the death rate may catch up to the testing count if they don’t get with it in a hurry. :-(

I wonder how Brits feel on the day they receive their title. “I surely will miss Dad, but hey after all I’m 69.”

"Sky News understands the Government has asked mobile network O2 to hand over anonymous mobile phone location data in order to ensure people are following social distancing guidelines during the COVID-19 outbreak"

I think it would be most useful for modeling. You look at movement in January, normal movement, and you've got the modeling for how much transmission you should see. Then you look at movement today, and you can get some fairly accurate expected transmission rates. It also tells you how effective each level of closure you are instituting is.

And so the story goes

True, but the key would have been what China and Hillary thought of Italy or the rest of Europe for that matter. It was designed for a purpose. Released by accident or as a last resort cause China was done.

WTH?

Why are you here?

Well you choose a good screen name..I will hand you that.

[Osage Orange]

Try Liposomal Vit “C”....I have the recipe.

Exponential growth looks like this:

The virus is exponential.

Human minds think in linear terms.

Think like a virus!

And you know this how?

This is why northern peoples are taller and less bumpy, some say: it exposes more skin area to the sun per ounce of body weight. Also, white skin helps.

I found my recipe, for LVC, inside of my ultrasonic jewelry cleaner, when I was cleaning out cabs, the other day. Only thing I ever used the jewelry cleaner for.

I am just totally uninterested in the “why” at this point.

It is like arguing which of O’Leary’s cows started the Chicago fire—while your neighbors houses are burning down—on both sides of you.

[BusterDog]

"Online in other countries?"

Yes. Everything halfway reputable looking showed out of stock.

[Jane Long]

Yes, there are ;-)

[Osage Orange]

Ha!..When I was a kid...a friend of mine, well his family had a "Yellow Cab" biz....We found lot's of coins while cleaning the cabs....

Never know what you might find cleanings cabs.

[Jane Long]

Yeah...I checked my ‘usual source’ as well. Nada.

[Black Agnes]

Ah.

Tonic water is sold out at Kroger too.

So I hear.

While the dose might not be enough to ‘cure’, wonder if it would reduce the amount of hospitalizations. Ie drinking tonic water would reduce hospitalization from this. Which would be a definite winner for everyone.
