Covid-19: We don’t talk about 1-18

Or a restaurant. It's beyond shocking that the choice here is to kill people.

 

Limiting the number also limits the chance that someone in there has the corona v to spread and even if someone has it is limits the chances it will spread. If you can reduce the chances of someone infected showing up from 1% down to 0.2% through just reducing crowds from 60 to 15, it would be fairly safe to visit.

Not that I'd want to work there. 0.2% odds may be small but repeated 8 hours a day 5 days a week for many weeks it doesn't sound good to me at all.

 

You should believe the experienced American on this.

 

The first link, no offense, I know all that stuff already. My view of God is that It is an organizing intelligence behind all creation that wills Itself to be revealed. (If I have to put it into one sentence.)

The 2nd link perks up Mormon ears.

That gets back to Jerusalem followers of The Way and Paul. The former didn't die out in 70 AD, they just didn't get to write the history. Given the relative unimportance of the written word at the time vs. oral tradition, they were able to persist for centuries. As you say, Nicea put an end to all that.

 

The northern portions of Assateague Island are in Maryland. There are horses there. Within the past couple of weeks I've heard stories of a man riding a wild horse (eventually fined or arrested) and a woman getting kicked after hitting a horse both on the Maryland side. The Virginia side down by Chincoteague can be a good viewing area for Wallops Island launches.

Sup cuz

 

I went to the store and overheard a kid, who had to have been about 11, 12, telling his dad how frustrated he was that he couldn't do anything because of this whole thing. I felt bad for the kid and felt some anger towards those who voted Trump.

I'm also quite mad at some relatives of mine. They went to Florida to visit family (via plane), came back to Michigan, then two weeks later went to Georgia. Again, by plane. When they got back, they invited my mom out to lunch. My mom is an in remission cancer patient. She politely told them no.

Stanger's post a while back about Hocking Hills (Which I had planned to visit but am putting that aside for now for obvious reasons) made me think of my secret spot being swarmed. I'm actually convinced we could've solved the obesity issue had we insisted people stay home years ago. You couldn't find a single soul at the park I always went to. Though I also wonder how much of is down to social media.

Finally, my local gym closed a few weeks before Whitmer issued her shelter in place order. They were planning on reopening earlier this month but held off. Thankfully, I have ways to keep in shape at home and I run as well.

 

It is just crazy how long this has been going on. I was actually IN Melbourne, Australia when the country had its 1st reported case back in January; I was there for the Australian Open. And with almost literally only a handful of cases, the employees in the Sydney Airport were probably already 1/3 or more masked up by the time I left on February 2nd (and masks were being prominently displayed and sold in every convenience store all over the city by that point). Then I flew home and heard that it was all a hoax by the American president. Good times.

 

What part of Virginia is the wrong part? I'm not from a plantation. That was the kinfolk.

 

That's...really good.

 

Sure, but outdoors only, it seems to get the R a bit below 1.0, so it will eliminate itself.

Allowing indoors seems to push R higher than 1.0 ... so if you do it before you've all but eliminated it, you are risking restarting things (and eventually never stopping it). So if you do it too early, you go backwards, and have to shut down again ... this seems to have been Quebec's recent mistake. Early school openings seemed much more minor compared to the recent restaurant spread in suburban areas.

Outdoors only, is surely the only way to get quickly out of this, as the chance of a vaccine looks more and more distant.

 

I'll keep going OT here:

As a former Mormon...... I slowly began to reanalyze my "spiritual experiences" in light of the possibility of there being no god vs. there being a god such as you describe. In any capacity, though, it makes no difference to me whether or not god exists, because doing and being good for my one's own and humanity's sake doesn't require its existence. Belief and administration of The Golden Rule doesn't require allegiance to a religious institution, nor devotion to a supernatural being or force, or whatever.

All the same, wear a mask and stay away!

 

I'm going to have to find a new phrase, now that I look at it.

"God is an organizing intelligence behind all creation that wills Itself to be revealed" is 14 words. I can't have people believing in the 14 words.

 

Still own some pieces of land around here?

 

...to all who seek it."
19 -a prime number.You're welcome .

 

This board, before superdave -

 

What do you think the SUPER in Superdave is for?

 

They polled more "Independents" than Republicans and almost as many Democrats?
That is telling.
1) That is a pretty f'n small sample.
2) A whole lot of "Independents" are liars. 21% believe Donald Trump? I suspect there are a lot of Republicans calling themselves Independents.
The 4% of Democrats who "believe" Donald Trump is telling.
Maybe they "believe" him when he says that he accepts "no responsibility" for the pandemic.
I believe that, as well. He does have some responsibility, but I believe that he will not "accept" responsibility for it.

 

more bad news ..... small sample size of course ...

People who have recovered from Covid-19 may lose their immunity to the disease within months, according to research suggesting the virus could reinfect people year after year, like common colds.

In the first longitudinal study of its kind, scientists analysed the immune response of more than 90 patients and healthcare workers at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS foundation trust and found levels of antibodies that can destroy the virus peaked about three weeks after the onset of symptoms then swiftly declined.

Blood tests revealed that while 60% of people marshalled a “potent” antibody response at the height of their battle with the virus, only 17% retained the same potency three months later. Antibody levels fell as much as 23-fold over the period. In some cases, they became undetectable.
