  1. Anybody ever look at this guys Twitter? Cant tell if he legit or not. Looks like a deep dive into the numbers daily. At any rate his point about testing and cases stands. MSM is all over cases with no context, rendering same useless as a metric. Reading his thread he says this is over already in the states and the numbers will verify as we go. https://twitter.com/EthicalSkeptic/status/1270019034113859584?s=20
  2. We need to resolve this for schools to reopen I think. Having kids wear masks all day is never going to work. We need to establish rare asymptomatic spread, and that kids in particular do not spread easily. Not sure that has really happened yet.
  3. Demographics is everything on this. The base data is messy, the interpretation are even worse. For now I will ascribe that to stupidity and not malice. For now.
  4. Same here. Thought that was always the deal but dont see reference to it in testing. Know zinc has been hard to find.
  5. I would like to see a thread focused on data interpretation on COVID. Not sure MSM understands that at all or they wouldn't keep talking about cases with no context.
  6. It was flat awesome. Used to go to the one downtown in the mid-80s. Definitely haz a sad about that.
  7. Was between jobs working in a bookstore in Denver. Really bummed couldn't watch the game, obviously a big deal up there. Huge roar goes up from the back room of the store so we knew something big happened. Great play. Went out and blew our minimum wages thereafter. And Michigan. Man their ability to less with more is on par with Texas. Incredible how little they have gotten out of all that talent over the years.
  8. Raging drug addiction, caught on film. Coast Guard will pull your ticket right quick for that. Who knows what rock that guy is living under. Too bad because he seemed like he knew what he was doing out there.
  9. Was talking to a hoaxer yesterday. Amazing thought process going on there. Now if you want to say the fear of reopening is caused by a nanny state mentality, I can go with that. Fucking mayor of Chicago took down all the basketball hoops citywide. Seriously. If this comes back in fall as experts expect, I bet the best case is football gets going and then comes to a screeching halt in October. Kind of a worst case scenario. It sucks.
  10. Lancet has shown their ass a couple of times. The fake autism vax link in particular has done a lot of damage.
  11. When it comes to outbreaks in Texas, GA, and Florida, I will take my cue from national media. If the coronavirus porn folks who seem to root for this to get worse in those states aren't blaring it across the front pages, it probably didn't happen. Personally, I thought those states were light on lockdown and too early to open. Looks like I was wrong and I am damn happy about it.
  12. Ferguson is a clown. Google any of the myriad doom and gloom predictions he has made that never came close. Fuck that idiot. I should imagine there are way more people moving through and about London than there ever could be in, say Stockholm over any given time. Extremely dense and mobile population with major international airport. Same reason NYC was always going to be screwed. Plus Sweden is coming under a lot of fire for its higher death rate relative to its neighbors so not sure they get a pass just yet.
  13. I like LeMond but I wonder about the PED. I dont think anyone really presses him on it. In the 1980s you could probably get away with anything but massive doses of testosterone. See: East Germany and USSR Olympic teams. Cycling has been dirty forever. I have doubts you could win the TDF anytime in the last 40 years without taking something. So really the question is whether LeMond is clean or just a paragon of virtue next to an asshole like Armstrong. Guess we will never really know.
  14. To me that is the more interesting story. Would rather see that documentary myself. It seems that at least LA is acknowledging that he was a total shithead. Not sure how much it really matters but it is something. Haven't really kept up but does anyone think there was any rider in the peloton during that time that was clean? Not sure that was even possible.
  15. These very real possibilities to the upside are why people need to tap the brakes on the "everything is going to be different forever" mantra. Lot of recency bias going on there. I am finding that WFH is a luxury but it gets really old. Love my office and am ready to get back in there and commiserate with my colleagues. Hell, if Covid runs its course within a year I will do what I was doing before, but more of it. MOAR sporting events, bars, restaurants, concerts. We are social animals. Hope my liver is up for the challenge.
  16. Mask indoors. No mask outdoors keeping distance. Nobody is getting this outdoors or from ATM and doorknobs. People get this inside, close quarters. 99%. Gigantic difference between detectable amounts of Covid RNA and transmissible virus. Understand this and act accordingly. Wash your damn hands. All the time. All IMHO not a doctor.
  17. A man will go places with a hardon he would never go with just a gun.
  18. Love GS and how the NBA has evolved. Love watching skilled players dominate. But I still have the Bulls. Their era was ruthlessly more physical and they changed to meet that challenge. Led the league in defensive efficiency for most of the run. Only had two playoff series even go to 7 games. Beat SEVEN 60 win teams in the playoffs. You're talking teams that stayed together and got better every year too. Those cats knew how to get in gear and close it out. In today game where you cant breathe on anybody what the hell do you do with MJ? Seriously the dude would average 50 ppg and wouldn't even be breathing hard.
  19. Also the banks have no interest in foreclosure. They ended up eating a ton of shit in 2008 on their foreclosed inventory. That model died as a bank money maker a long time ago. Extend and recap. Going to be a ton of that.
  20. Easy to say you could have saved 36,000 lives by closing a week early. Hell you could have saved 50,000 by really locking down nursing homes. That was the easiest, and we had the data to support that a long time ago. 20/20 hindsight and what not.
  21. First rule of investing is "dont fight the Fed." They have been a big player in markets way before twitter. We can argue about whether that makes sense or not but to deny it and say its unfair is folly. Personally I think its gone up way too far and too fast. Thats great for me but I sure as shit wouldn't be a buyer in here. Better entry points have to be coming once all the BK start rolling through. Even the Fed cant stop that.
  22. Man I hate wearing a mask but I think its pretty likely the N95 works pretty well. Think there are a fair amount of studies on that but I am way too lazy to look it up.
  23. Never believed it was easy to get from a doorknob. Just because you can detect the RNA of a virus doesn't mean its transmissible. I dont think you need a mask outside in general.
  24. That would be in line with the 1957 flu epidemic. 116,000 deaths 172 million population in US. Not great but not unprecedented. At this rate might even say pretty likely by say end of 2021.
  25. Part of being a Karen is being pissed off. All the time. About everything, but especially trivial shit.
