OK, before I post this, a warning. DO NOT seek out the video trashed in this takedown. DO NOT allow your friends to convince you to watch âthis courageous persecuted scientistâ (sheâs a crook and incompetent to boot) but if someone brings it up, you can at least be prepared. I shall now post a takedown of a virulently antivax idiotâs film about the Covid-19 pandemic.
You are now prepared.

Apparently the valet had symptoms yesterday, at which point Trump and Pence were retested.
They donât understand that the average incubation period seems to be about 5 days, with a range of 2-14.
Itâs like thinking you can take a pregnancy test 5 minutes after having sex.

My mind insisted on reading that last word as âarrested.â
Hope is the thing with feathers, I guess, that never stops at all.

pretty sure, the only thing left of government a year from now will be the newly opened trump monument on the washington mall, and this paper in a locked box in an undisclosed location

itâs more than suppressing experts.
first, italyâs lockdown was harsh. not just self isolation and business closures as in the us. by âreopeningâ italy has begun to look like nyc is right now. and very few places in the us ever reached the level of quarantine that nyc has.
in the same vein, georgia and flordia re-opening is business as normal just 25% capacity and maybe wear some masks if you wanna. italy re-opening is definitely most definitely not that.
last two items. italy has a contact tracing program established. we donât have a national one, and most states do not have their own adequate replacement. and italy has testing capacity where we do not.
these numbers are not necessarily directly comparable ( it doesnât specify/distinguish between tests given and people tested ) still italyâs probably testing 10-20% more people ( per capita ).
weâre on our own special trajectory now

NPR ATC just interviewed a general in Pentagon leadership who said there was a draft memo circulated, heâd first seen it an hour ago, itâs just a draft, and parts of it make no sense.
Then the host (Ari) asserted that people whoâd already had it, like sailors on the carrier TR, would be less of a risk to the military mission, implying having had the virus would make you less likely to get it again, because of antibodies or whatever, which we donât actually know (right?).

Iâm hearing from a lot of increasingly restless fellow USians that theyâre sick and tired of this lockdown life, and they think itâs unnecessarily âruiningâ the economy and the country, etc. These arenât âGimme my freedoms back!â Trumpkins.
It gives me a bad, fearful feeling that a second, bigger wave of deaths is coming, but most people here will just come to accept that as just another unfortunate cost of âmodernâ life, like deaths from car accidents, shootings, or smoking.

Aggravated assault and battery, at the very least.
These people need to be arrested and held without bail. Itâs the only way to make them actually have consequences for their actions.

Have a look. Interesting study, because non-interventioned community. Some caveats given in the study.
In a high school, with no interventions (i.e. no social distancing), and a fixed end of contact (due to vacation!), around 40% of people got infected. Group differences are given.
ETA: again, caveat emptor everyone, this is a pre-print.

Smokers had a lower IAR compared to non-smokers 7.2% versus 28.0%
IAR infection attack rate
In epidemiology, the attack rate is the percentage of the population that contracts the disease in an at risk population during a specified time interval. It is used in hypothetical predictions and during actual outbreaks of disease.
