We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

We can see the enemy and even bomb it if we so desired.

But it's a bad look to bomb someone who looks like Winnie the Pooh.

I thought we were talking about Planeteers' concerns that they'll lose their home or their job or their business, Mr. Donger.

Those are the kinds of things to which I am referring ...

I am not advocating that we begin unloading clips on the virus. Especially if we're infected.

The aerosol figure gives me pause.
A little, but realize what has to happen to aerosolize something like that AND have it hang.

We've all operated in cold climates - the steam is essentially the moisture in your breath. Alright, well it's immediately falling when you exhale, no? And it's dispersed into trace amount (which would again be detectable, but not necessarily transmittable) with any amount of circulation.

So confined spaces with poor circulation (HELLO MASS TRANSIT) is probably not where you want to be. Because in those cases there probably is just enough contamination through potential asymptomatic carriers to spread.

But if you're in any sort of open space with any sort of circulation (i.e. can you fart in this room and not smell it a minute later), the odds are overwhelmingly positive that you're not going to get it from some dude just standing around breathing.

Now someone sneezing is going to be putting a far more concentrated spray pattern over larger distances and with higher viral loads. So yeah...no bueno. But again, that's where the social distancing, smaller incubation periods, high percentage of mild cases and simple ****ing hygiene are all massive allies.

Again - this strikes me as good news, not bad.

The current case mortality rate is much, much higher than previously thought.

Look at recoveries + deaths = total cases. The current cases do not matter because they have not ran their course yet to become either recoveries or deaths.

Mortality rates outside of China have been higher with the exception of maybe South Korea.

Wife working at home starting tomorrow.

I emailed my principal and said that I would be willing to take back my classes if that would make things easier. Do all the work from home if this thing gets extended.

She basically said no. (felt like it was FU) I do not think she understood that I would end my leave. I will do that if it extends to the end of the year.

I was replying to this:

Let's think WWII ...

Citizens sacrificed time and material goods and comfort. Celebrities raised morale and hope. Women worked their asses off making airplanes and bombs and tires. Prices and wages were temporarily controlled. Fuel was rationed and driving was curtailed. Nursing became an attractive occupation.

Patients family are relieved and they go home happy and come back in the am and their family member is fighting for their life, back on the vent.

Several tribal-run casinos are temporarily closing, though Minnesota's largest — Mystic Lake — will remain open for now.


They should be ordered to close.
