  1. This is incorrect. It is working, and has been effective. You’re not going to get 100% participation in anything. But it has clearly been working.

  3. I bet you could score a Lafayette 10 for a mani/pedi gift card and a pound of boudin right now. I was sitting in a Starbucks by the med center in Laffy once, and a brand new white Escalade, lifted, black rims and big tires pulls in. Big pink sticker on the back window "Spoiled Oilfield Wife". The chick that got out of it was wearing "Pink" sweatpants, Uggs, wife beater and no bra hugging her brand new tits, one arm sleeved out with trashy ink, Channel sunglasses and a tacky manicure. I imaging that gal will be back sucking dicks in the parking lot of the strip club she started out in pretty soon..

  4. We are going to end up getting the worst of both options. The economic troubles because of the shutdown plus the coronavirus running wild because we ended the shutdown too soon.

  8. Chicago is about as shut down as you could imagine. CTA down 80%. Metra over 90% Air travel down 93%. I call that substantial compliance. I think people have trouble making a distinction between shelter in place and an absolute quarantine you can never leave your house situation. What we are doing is about the best we could do, and its working in spectacular fashion IMO.

  14. So he simply posts total deaths, but doesn't mention or adjust for Sweden having (had...) a population of 10+ million, versus 5+ million for the others. But then the graph wouldn't look as dramatic and wouldn't get as much attention, and, just completely coincidentally, his blue check twitter account is pimping his speaking series ($6000 value for just $297!)

  15. Horseshit. When I see a bunch of dippy hippies waving crystals and braiding their pubic hair out protesting instead of white bubbas with automatic weapons and confederate flags then I’ll entertain your “both sides” nonsense.

  18. Last Friday's projection: 744,221 total cases, 26,521 daily cases, 29,485 total deaths We came under total cases last week. We came in over total deaths - mostly because NY decided to change the way they report deaths and retroactively reported a few thousand. These account for about 20% of all deaths and the single-day jump is obvious on the charts above. I had my doubt last Monday, but we were definitely in a slow decline last week. I think are are bottoming out the transmission rate as far as it will go. (The last time I posted this we cut the transmission rate in half, again). Friday's projection: 965,731 total cases, 25,731 daily cases, 48,935 total deaths by the new reporting method (40,590 total deaths is charted above).

  19. What we need to do is think out the box and have some live experiments in real time. Let's take a state, hypothetically take whoever whatever state, call it whatever you want I mean let's just call it let's say Oklahoma. So we take Oklahoma, immediately stop any air travel in or out. Shut it all down. Then we road block every single road that crosses the state line. It could be done. Then we immediately open every night club, bar, restaurant, massage parlor, toe-nail clipper, meth lab, all the schools & etc. Everything is open. Then we wait. That's the plan.

  20. I have no issue with those who are protesting because they're broke and out of work and just want the freedom to be able to decide for themselves what risk level they and their family are willing to tolerate. But the This is 'Merica!! blowhards like that cunt can pound sand.

  24. this is borderline 'lately shit', but I think the absence of greenery qualifies it here. Braf's sammich upthread reminded me I haven't offended my wife with sauerkraut in a while, so I picked some up, along with some knackwurst. I backfilled my homemade curry ketchup stock recently (for which I expect to be crucified), and wanted to test drive it. dinner a couple nights ago on what Trader Joe's generously refers to as "hotdog buns". wife bought them. I'm just taking out the trash. wandering the internet for knackwurst ideas, I came across a thing called a sailor sandwich. attempted one for lunch today. pretty good, except I used sauerkraut instead of the peppers I didn't have. SIPing, and whatnot.

  25. in case folks are curious about how far it is off vs everyone else: https://nq94.s-ul.eu/wJ0utg8I so to be clear, Looch has the composite's #21 overall player at #15 in Texas, he has the composites #37 overall player outside his Texas top 25 - wonder what those two guys have in common? additionally, he has the composite's overall #72 player outside his top 10 meanwhile, he has the #145 player (#24 in Texas) as what amounts to a top 40 player in the nation.who just happens to be committed to A&M here is how it turned out last year for comparison

  27. (1) the continued allegations that the Imperial College didn't do the work it laid out in great detail are baseless and ridiculous. There is no reason for them to falsify that work. (2) The report on Covid-19 didn't even use the IFR's your referencing. It used half of that (~1%). (3) The report was explicit on what it was doing (laying out scenarios) and that the "no action" number wasn't likely to happen. That you misunderstood that is all on you. Seriously, there are real criticisms you can lay to any of the earlier estimates. Whackadoo conspiracy theory nonsense isn't it.

  29. Not that I agree with their approach, but anyone should probably wait a year before they claim that this experiment "failed". The whole point of the experiment is to get herd immunity quickly so as to avoid the 2nd and 3rd waves in the next year. By April 2021 it's very possible that those other countries could have more Covid deaths.

  30. Are we getting closer to the "Only 50,000 died, we shouldn't have shut down for this, it's overblown" part of the curve, which was only possible because of the shut down?

  31. It's not that conservatives "got tired of" "policing the world." It's that the Trumpublican Party completely abandoned the internationalism that was one of the cornerstones of the conservative movement. And Nixon wasn't wrong about China. Nixon opening China was part of what cause of the USSR to fall. Exploiting the wedge between China and the Soviet Union was one of the great victories of American diplomacy. Finally--you have a real limited understanding of history if you don't appreciate the role anti-corruption used to have in the conservative movement. Large city machine politics--e.g., Tammany Hall, the Daley machine in Chicago--were generally creatures of the Democratic Party. Part of what underpinned the conservative movement was a drive toward transparency and government accountability. And now that's completely gone. The Trumpublicans have embraced corruption on a scale that would've caused Boss Tweed to blush in embarrassment.
