    Not a valuable reply but damn if it isn’t cool to watch the science and tech community swarm this issue.

    I wonder if it’s related to the case of the Mondays? Sorry not sorry.

    @LuFins-Dad said in To Address a Problem: @Jolly I'm thinking about buying 1/4 of a cow and 1/4 pig from a farmer friend and a decent freezer from Walmart. You may pay a little more, but you'll have better tasting meat, especially the pork. 1/4 not is not a bunch of pork, especially if you are making a bit of patty sausage. Just make sure your freezer is big enough...

    @Jolly said in 6 Dem Governors: @Aqua-Letifer said in 6 Dem Governors: Absolutely, but I know it's not. At all. A shitload of employees, managers, and business owners either think this is a silly liberal conspiracy, or they're so ignorant that they actually think they can control normalcy. No matter how they do this, many people are going to get sick and die from completely avoidable stupidity. I really hope we try to mitigate that. That's why I thought it interesting the first bunch that are making plans are all Dems, all NE. Because we're talking about decisions that will greatly inform the extent of the next months' body count I honestly don't give a fuck. I'm concerned either way.

    @jon-nyc said in The WHO knew.: Only Mike DeWine has knocked this out of the park. WHO was too busy fellating China. CDC was protecting its turf. FDA was being the FDA. The administration didn’t take it seriously enough. Cuomo and DeBlasio were afraid to close schools. You could watch them struggle through the stages of grief over this. And so here we are. In other words, people were busy being people.

    @Klaus said in Positive. Again.: @Jolly said in Positive. Again.: @Klaus said in Positive. Again.: Do we have false positive/false negative rates on the test? Maybe this is merely due to false test results. NO clinical test is accurate 100% of the time. I've heard error rates of 10% on the current COVID tests. 5% is around minimum for many tests, even less for others. If that test would have a 10% false positive rate, then it would be mostly useless, no? From what I understand, the number of tests with positive results is around or below 10%. At a 10% false positive rate, most of those "positive" cases would in fact be negative. I don't know if that is the actual number, I'm working off of gossip, hearsay and the news media. But you would be much better off with false positives than false negatives.

    @Rainman said in Happy birthday, GeorgeK!: Happy Birthday, George!! Cows and butterflies? Is there something we should know about you guys? Some sort of secret code? Then again, maybe we don't want to know.
