His comments about the chart above:
For the past several years, I have been plotting and comparing week to week influenza mortality data gathered by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) mortality surveillance system. The number of coded flu deaths per year is only a part of the estimated flu deaths each week. I added US coronavirus deaths by week to the plot and got this:

(See chart)

I know it’s not apples to apples, the estimated number of flu deaths is about 6 times higher than the numbers recorded by the NCHS, but there is every reason to believe that the actual number of coronavirus fatalities is also larger than the subset that gets confirmed. There has only been 4 weeks of data. Where is this going to end up?

This SOP for dangerous times. The military always takes precautions to preserve the chain of command. They also do things to maintain the mission readiness. My son is Air Force. His shop is now divided into two teams. They work one week and the next week the other team takes over. Things like this are taking place across the military. They got this.

Also makes me think a lot more is going on, under the hood, than the virus and ‘shutdowns’ and ‘shelter in place’.

Cumulative US & NY CV deaths as of 3/28.

There have been published articles about the precautions that the military has taken in the event that the entire chain of succession defined by the Constitution were incapacitated by the virus.

I don’t think there is anything nefarious about. The military is doing what the military does. They are planning.

That graph does look closer to reality. In only a few weeks, the numbers for COVID-19 have jumped.

Yes.

Planning.

For something.

Asking for a friend...do they go to ‘Stargate Mountain’ every flu season?

Does that 15 days chart specify that the water for washing your hands has to be at least warm, if not hot?

So many posters and public service ads omit the word “warm.” It’s not getting the virus off if the water isn’t at least warm.

I disagree. I think the opposite may be true:

I am sure they do not.

They are contingency planning in case SHTF, and for the same reason that many people have purchased 6 months of toilet paper and bottled water.

That does not mean they think it is likely, or that they intend that it happens.

This is the escape from NY crowd, Florida / Georgia boarder on I-95. It should be all green on Sunday.
