Coronavirus COVID-19

[Winterborn]

Washington schools closed for the remainder of the year. I knew this was coming back in March.

The remaining of the the current school year or all of 2020?

Cap'n is worried with his heart conditions

He'll be fine. It's just the flu amirite?

[Gil Dobie]

No wonder so many people are catching the virus in the ECB.

Hey. ECB is always the best and most woke....right behind Cali

What's so special about a "surgical" nurse when dealing with COVID patients? Ventilation?

I think it's the highly skilled aspect. Surgical nurses can provide standard level of care but also are trained for ICUs whereas an OR nurse has basic skills plus skill to assist during operations. In this instance, it's the experience with critical care patients and the equipment. I think. I'd ask my sister but she's working.

Surgical nurses are qualified to pee in the butt

I get cancelling through May or June, but announcing at this point that aren’t starting up in the fall is retarded.

I'm pretty sure he means the rest of this school year not calendar year.

JFC. How dumb is it to say this?

St. Louis Federal Reserve Head says Americans should be tested for COVID-19 daily and forced to display a badge on their clothing with the result.

And no I don't follow QAnon but this popped up in my twitter feed from someone else.

[SDHornet]

They don't have a serious case count for the US...unless they moved it to a different page.

And yeah, Fuck China.

Why do I see it and you don't?

It's not there anymore for the USA. They use to have it but took it down. Maybe those numbers aren't being reported?

[SDHornet]

Berenson was heavily criticized in his reefer madness 2.0 book for confusing causation with correlation.

Why wouldn’t you model based on deaths? What other data is available?

I was thinking the same thing. I don't have a problem with going backwards to get to beds/ventilators from deaths, but clearly there were several other factors that were way off. I think the biggest one is the success of shelter at home. We are just now seeing the success of it. Models developed a month ago did not have that factored in, IMO.

[SDHornet]

So basically they are reverse engineering...err I should say reverse modeling based on deaths. Yeah time to work up a new algorithm for the model or just not use this one anymore.

Early on it made sense when there was limited data, but obviously going backwards to plug into the model to make a new prediction isn't working. I don't know what they should do to fix the model, but what they are currently doing is clearly not even close to actual numbers being seen.

[SDHornet]

I'd have to look it up, but just a few weeks ago the concern was testing here in the US. That clearly isn't the issue now, plus the US is bigger than both those countries (roughly 5.5x bigger than Italy, 4x than Germany). CA is pretty much only testing if you have symptoms, not sure how many states are doing similar testing strategies but that is also impacting the per capita numbers.

Agree with you about the Russia number, but noticed they shot up there quick when they were reporting almost nothing just few weeks ago.

Testing is still an issue in many states, like Arizona where only bad cases can get tested still.

So it's like CA.

Why is anyone asking a Federal Reserve Head what to do about the Chinese Flu? May as well ask an auto mechanic, or a janitor.

I think the most discouraging thing about this is the amount of people going full retard over it.

Kind of like Berenson? I know you engineers like linear models. This is not a linear calculation.

Berenson is a former NYT reporter questioning what this model is spitting out. And engineers deal with plenty of non-linear models, not really sure where you were going with that one.

And I know at least two mechanics who grasp this better than both you and Berenson.

Engineers tend toward linear thinking which has some huge advantages...just not in this case.

Shocker!

Why can’t the libtard media just leave Trump alone!

Somebody is not looking at the underlying assumptions that are built into the base simulation is my opinion.

Some do, some don't.

Some of us don't even know where the box is anymore.

What are you looking at? Did you open the link above? Are you looking at the list of countries?

Yeah, that cunt, Mika Brez....somethingpolish, ran with this yesterday.

[CAA Flagship]

So blacks in Louisiana and Illinois make up around 70% of deaths in those states.
And this prompted a Fox News anchor to interview a doc to ask if race has anything to do with the virus.

I don't care for her either but this was so unbelievably goddamned obvious.

Side note... That little conservative southern belle Elise Jordan does make it move a little

She's got man hands.
