Just going on record the once. US has an issue with spread, 2-3 weeks it'll be obvious in DR too. No need to respond with rubbutals, ive seen/heard them all, i understand the counter arguments. If viewed from the perspective that there's a contagious virus out there that raises hospital requirement and morgue facilities above background levels quite quickly, US has an issue. Over and out. Glad to hear it will be in Democrat Representatives too.

If he were a tiger, "that" would be the instant before he sprang. The whole video seems antithetic of the stereo-typical British social response of stoic stiff upper lippedness and the call to sacrifice. I imagine that as the German part ... the long gray line going forward to their own slaughter, merely asking for that last cup of tea first. While the mantic main theme of the piece seems more like the Celtic half of the split British personality ... the mantic beat of the individualized mass of blued warriors expressing their f**kyouedness in the moments before charging the ordered Roman formation ... to the same end. Where lies the "true" Britain? Ahhh, the coffee is strong this morning.

I'll get my secretary to check if the licence fee has been paid.

"The distinguished virologist Streeck is the head of the Institute of Virology and HIV Research at the University Hospital of Bonn, and the lead author of the now famous “Heinsberg study” whose results showed that the mortality rate of COVID-19 was in fact significantly lower than that previously claimed by numerous health officials and the media.
According to the University of Bonn: “This number of unreported cases is about 10 times higher than the officially reported cases (162,496 on May 3rd, 2020).”
North Rhine Westphalia’s Minister President used the results of Streeck’s study to defend his decision to relax restrictions.
A number of officials and parties with an interest in spreading panic reacted angrily to the study’s panic-silencing affect. It’s still unknown who was behind the 100-page criminal complaint effort."notrickszone.com/2020/07/03/criminal-complaint-against-lead-author-of-heinsberg-2020-covid-19-paper-dismissed-by-prosecutor/This is very much the same as we are seeing now in FL. Where they are desperately trying to hide the reducing death rates while screeching about the number of cases

An excellent thread - you all knew about Simpson's Paradox didn't you How to screw up really well with Statistics by pooling data however I am not sure that his conclusions are correct. Anyone want to say why?

We're prepping for knee replacements - the Mrs. first, then I will follow later this year. We went in for the pre-op this morning with the Mrs. Traffic was almost rush-hour levels in Seattle, then east of Seattle. I noticed westbound traffic was heavy, but eastbound traffic was much heavier. Since this was well outside of rush-hour, and it is a holiday for companies like Microsoft and Amazon in the US (major contributors to our traffic congestion), my conclusion is people are headed out for the weekend. It seems like a lot more people are hoping to disappear into the mountains than to get to the coast. I think that would be smart since I think everybody is on guard for the coast (not that it can all be patrolled - believe me, I know ). For the most part, I think people are going to do what people want to do, and it appears MANY are ignoring what the "experts" are telling them to do and just getting out and doing what they want to do. It'll be a good weekend for the lady's business, I suspect. In fact, she rushed out the door a couple of hours ago without disturbing what I was doing, and that usually indicates she looked at the security cameras and saw more people than the crew could handle, so she rushed down to work - I've seen that happen quite a few times. Personally, I'm very frustrated, though. I want to be out more, but knees have limited me a bit, and the talk about the virus has limited me from the human interaction I really love. As I've demonstrated on here a few times, I'm a bit fatalistic about the progress of the virus - I think the virus is going to run its course, and since we have no vaccine, and won't have a vaccine before the outbreak ends, there's nothing we're going to do to prevent its spread. Treatment is another story though. Anyway, the reason for my frustration is that I simply am tired of being either cooped up or having someone trying to shame me out of getting out of my yard. I can't even see my grandkids right now because they're so busy "protecting" us. How do I get out of this circus? I'm sure many of you have similar feelings.

I was told that it is dangerous for me to hug and kiss my grandkids. I told that person when I am so afraid that I can't hug and kiss my grandkids I might as well cease to breathe.
I do like breathing, so I continue to hug and kiss my grandkids.

That said, caught up with a pal who had this, symptoms weren't bad but he couldn't walk 400m without losing breath/feeling dizzy for 6 weeks. Constantly exhausted. Not sure how anyone could operate in any profession in that state.
