  1. But did second patient cure his Covid?
  2. New screwball reporting. Not sure why they can't do it everyday. Some other states do the same. Go figure.
  3. I'll also ask again, what is going on with Florida's death from Covid numbers? They are churning out in excess of 20,000 new cases/day and their death rate has plummeted from a high of 170/day two weeks ago to a 7 day MA <20/day with nothing over 10 this week. Their death rate is at lowest since the pandemic started and their case number are still at all time highs. Worldometer. From the Herald, but that just does not seem to explain the sudden change. Seems like FLorida bullshit to me: On Aug. 10, the CDC changed the way it reported new cases and deaths in Florida. Cases and deaths used to be logged as total new cases reported on a single day. Now, Florida is reporting cases by the “case date,” according to the CDC rather than the date the case was logged into the system. The result of this change is a lag in cases by date and a significant number of cases backfilling over time. The Herald will continue to report numbers based on the difference in total cases from one day to the next, as this is consistent with the way data have been presented in daily stories since the beginning of the pandemic. The Herald will report deaths the same way, after pulling the raw data from the CDC website. As a result, the “new cases” and “new deaths” listed on the CDC site for any given day may be different than numbers published by the Herald for the same day. According to a statement from CDC spokesperson Jasmine Reed on Aug. 18: “Florida’s aggregate case and death data includes case date for cases and date of death for deaths. The method applies to data shared by Florida and to data displayed on COVID Data Tracker. Other States also use this reporting method and states can vary in the reporting method. For example, data as of the date that states submit may be the date that a state received its data from its reporting entities, or it might be another dating method that the state prefers.” DOH spokesperson Weesam Khoury said Florida’s new reporting system “will ensure that continuous epidemiological analyses provide the most updated data to the public.” Neither agency provided further explanation of how a “case date” is assigned to each new case.
  4. We don't even get the Darwin bump since he has already successfully procreated.
  5. Mix in some Skoal mint. Just a pinch.
  6. My Climbing gym had the scanner at the front. I never once even registered above 97.5, but then again I never had Covid either. It was not a cheap scanner either. I think they just set it for "open for business". Back then they were were pretty strict with 100% mask mandate and limited by appointment only 2 hour time slots.
  7. His stuff was really funny. His yoga stuff looks like it comes from years of experience. I always just figured he was poking fun at himself with some overthetopness. Then, it got weird.
  8. They don't. But one death reported yesterday.
  9. What the hell is going on with Florida Covid reporting? Their daily deaths are on an almost vertical decline. I expect some wonkiness from the weekend reporting, but their curve just does not look right(Worldometer) Their daily case and death reporting was almost non existent over the weekend. Are they getting out of the woods, are they too overburdened to report correctly, or is there some whitewashing going on? Anybody hear anything on this?
  10. If we can't laugh at a deadly global pandemic, what can we laugh at.
  11. Read the list, and all that stuff was A-ok when I was a kid. Hard to believe we survived.
  12. Sounds like he might have caught it at 31 flavors, check again.
  13. I was gonna say, maybe alcohol enabling isn't the best idea right now. As I type this, I am drinking a Shiner. But seriously, it is one thing to have a few, and another to get really drunk and be worthless the next day. No judgment, I just think we all might feel better if we didn't let go just yet. If we are still here in a couple of weeks, then a reevaluation may be in order. Vince was down 12 with 4 minutes to go and he pulled it out. Hang on a little bit longer and you will be richly rewarded with Surly $ and rep points.
  14. Big liquid oxygen strikes again.
  15. Man on the street: Went by Central Market Westgate yesterday evening and there were no masking signs up at any of the doors I saw, not even the "mask recommended" type. Mask wearing was at about 50% in the store-non employee. They had a big band playing in the cafe for the olds, but it was pretty dead in there compared to a couple of weeks ago. Austin is bad right now and people are not getting the message.
  16. Who knows what goes on all tucked away down there.
  17. Gotta survive the surge -Mac Brown
  18. Obligatory: In Russia , bomb disarm you.
  19. Me too, class of '85, "The class with more class than the class with class"
  20. I was keeping an eye on this. I knew you guys could make it...and with time to spare. Good job.
  21. The marketing possibilities could be endless if there were a helmet face mask mask that went over the face mask instead of the mouth and nose. It could be the next big thing.
  22. Hawaii got caught with its pants down. They eased a bunch of restrictions and just put most but not all of them back in place on the 11th. Just can't let your guard down.
  23. I foresee a Surly school district Covid bracket challenge.
  24. Looks like lunch is going to be an Achilles heel. Not sure what the logic is here. Hey, lets gather all students together at the one time of day where they absolutely have to take down their masks to eat and drink. But lunch was always going to be a problem anyway.
