Some of us have been saying that for years, and we didnât need a crisis to know it. Words are not enough anymore, de Pfeffel, action is needed.
I donât think I will ever trust the Tories to do the right thing though.
This seems inconsistent with Pelosiâs strong support for vote-by-mail in the November elections. Maybe sheâs worried that it congresscritters could vote from home theyâd never show up in Washington and be available for strong-arming by the majority whip.
If you assume that the number of deaths in a day are independent with a Poisson distribution with constant that doesnât change much over these 6 days, and that the expected value in a day is 2, then the probability of 6 2s in a row is around 0.0004. That is quite low, and suggests either that the 2 is way below the expected number of deaths in a day, or that there is something artificial making the daily results not independent.
Hmm, good exercise for my students next semester, assuming my university survives.
Old Finnish proverb: âJos ei sauna ja viina ja terva auta, nin se tauti on kuolemaksi.â meaning that if liquor, tar and sauna wonât help, an illness is fatal.

The E-meters will zap the bug right out of your system!

Tests for the disease have increased in Finland, but the countryâs levels are nowhere near those of Iceland and Norway.
Iceland has announced 100% testing of its population ASAP, but as they only have a few hundred thousand people that shouldnât be that difficult. (OTOH, their lockdown is rather soft, closer to Sweden than to Norway or Finland, so universal testing might be really necessary.)
Bit terrifying and forced entire world to look at new direction.
You have an empty ice rink right now, too. Iâm sure Gritty would be all with sharing his home base.
Taking stupidity and selfishness to a ridiculous extreme. Weâve been asked to stay away from remote areas, so letâs drive across the country then fly to one of the most remote communities there is. Because a dream said so.
