Oh man, such a bum, sorry, but he deserves nothing other as Corona.
He rent a German hotel with 20 women and his entourage, this guy should be thrown off his throne!
sorry but something like that makes me angry.

Use your time in quarantine to educate yourself on 'Man-made Global Warming' and 'Climate Change'.

What's annoying is that those people that are getting sick right now and aren't getting tested are being treated like lepers all the same. I had to plead with a bank yesterday to open a new account. The manager was reluctant, but finally agreed and I'm thankful for that since now I can pay bills. I could have not told them anything and then maybe later they get sick, but, they're good people and I felt like I needed to be honest. I've found that if you think or know that you had/have covid 19, it is better to keep things on a need to know basis with most people unfortunately since they really don't give a fuck about you.

where do you want to go, if it continues like this, then it will become narrower for the people of the coming generations.

What? You mean you don't trust your government?  Whyever not?  (Yeah, I don't trust government either.)

Careful I just read recently that they tell the truth right here in this thread. It is not called a slow burn for nothing remember these words

"You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before".

and this video don't forget right from the horses mouth.

I thought you could open an account online.

If you're getting sick (cold or flu) exacerbating fears by telling people "I'm sick" doesn't seem wise, but was this manager holding the door closed or something?

It all sounds very interesting and a nice change here.

I'm really bad at withholding vital info, as far as stories go, but you told a good story about some horrible bank and didn't expose a thing.

Not with all banks. Some smaller banks want you in person to sign things and have a nice sit-down chat when you open an account. I've banked here before and like the people, if not their lack of online services. And since they wanted me to do this in person, I thought they needed to know the chance at least. Couldn't hide it anyway since my voice still hasn't come back.

Nothing of the sort was said, and you not being able to tell the difference between the CDC and the CIA is pretty telling. My favorite part is you telling people not to be judgemental asshats and than comparing the CDC to the CIA because they both have C in the name and also providing zero proof of the CDC's insidious plan to do what exactly, also gonna need a link to where the CDC can impose permanent restriction and additions to existing or new laws.

 

You were saying something about being judgemental?

Statistics are only as good as the validity of the data and methodology used to derive them, but it's no mistake that they're used in every corner of science.

 

People who don't understand probability and statistics play slot machines, people who do understand probability and statistics own slot machines. - Who makes the money?

Numbers are just numbers, not the truth. Also not lie. Number is just number.

 

I think the point is that people can lie. Its people. Not statistics, but statisticians.

 

People also have a right to doubt. Like Nick Furry said: grandpa liked people, but didn't trusted them. Trust someone too much and lose an eye.

Can't help your butthurt over my post maybe you can provide facts to retort my post.

Fact Dr. Robert Redfield is appointed to run the CDC by who do you know?

fact cdc.gov is the web site .gov meaning it is run by the goverment

fact the cdc is fund by tax dollars

fact the cdc is ran and controlled by guess who?

Who knew ?

I don't know why (and please ignore this) but the phrase "panem et circenses" came to mind,

 

It isn't relevant, it isn't even legal without sources and an accompanying rant....

 

But it was the train of thought crossing in front of the train of thought about your quote, to find the author.

Disraeli? No.

They can also make mistakes.

Statistical models come and go and evolve. They are not set in stone.

e.g.

For years the good scientists at the LHC would periodically announce that they had found the Higgs Boson. Big splurge of publicity followed a couple of months later by a less public announcement that upon reflection it wasn't actually the Higgs Boson.

Nobody actually sees anything that looks like a particle of any kind. All they are doing is analysing number and running them through statistical models.

This is the sort of thing which drives me mad. Numpty journalists who can't even read their own words and see the mistake.

From the BBC News website

"We should all know by now that to maintain social distancing, we need to stay at least 2m (six feet) away from other people".

 

What "we should all know by now" is that 2m = 6' 6" not 6'. So if you are 6' away you are not 'at least' 2m away. You are 15cm short.

US is still on an exponential growth moonshot:

 

That -1.65 social distancing is probably only around half of what it needs to be.

Too many people here don't get social distancing, or they just refuse to practice it. I work in a clean room that is normally sterilized, they started taking our temps at the beginning of each shift, and the management has started social distancing but it's laxly enforced. Until Thursday afternoon. 

 

It's nearing time for me to leave, one of the HR personnel is standing rather grim in the gowning room. We are told to go home now. Outside is second shift being strictly ordered to remain on the crosses taped on the floor 6' apart. They are not going in.

 

Friday, yesterday, place is closed down for complete sterilization. Someone on 2nd shift had tested positive.

 

I was fucking warning about this. I hope I am fine, I had done my best to keep distance from others.

 

The US is still a week or two behind Italy. We're a bigger country, more people so percentage wise it may be the same, more , or less than countries in Europe. I don't know, I haven't bothered with the math. I really don't want to.

 

But there is a light at the end of the tunnel with the flattening the curve in Italy, but so sad for all those who have died or suffered in different ways. Hopefully, too, other countries who are still behind us in the curve will not have to go through this.

Numbers, equations, probability are the ONLY truth. Without them, there would just be a void. Your body, for instance, calculates many things every second (or more). There are no "accidents" in the numerical universe, just faulty accounting. Somewhere, the accurate, literal score is being kept and it's our ambition to figure it out.

[FauxFurry]

The figures grow ever more fuzzy. Could they use a shave?

I've been seeing reports of death "complications due to Covid 19."

Yes, you're right, I'm also in the US and have taken social distancing very seriously right from the start, and have also conveyed to family and friends and anybody who will listen how incredibly important it is. There's still a lot of people who don't seem to 'get it' though, even in my own State, people are going to public parks 25% more than before.

 

 

I've seen a lot of people out and about, fortunately where I live it's wide open streets and wide areas where it is easy to avoid others. But I'm seeing less probably because people are beginning to see how serious this is.

From some of the projections, I won't be surprised if the US death is 10,000 by tomorrow night. ?
