    He's missing a large piece of the testing puzzle. It is very possible to make an immunoassay with screening ability and do it CLIA waived and cheaply. You test the hotspots and the symptomatic. Base your strategies on that. The answer would probably be cell phone tracking. In today's scary climate, Americans may put up with that.

    It's traditional to make bad movies out of good books, or good movies out of bad books. This bucks that trend.

    Ha! No I was on Advair. And have documentary evidence of being an asshole before then - even on TNCR.

    I skimmed it but I don’t think he said a single thing we haven’t been saying for at least a week.

    Today's run was for milk, bread, eggs and a bit of produce + three things for my in-laws. If I couldn't get it, I wouldn't have worried. I have at minimum 60 days supplies, including sugar, salt, soaps, flour, canned and dry milk, canned vegetables, pasta, spam, peanut butter, one freezer full of meat and one full of vegetables. Good Lord willin, in the next 90 days I'll lay in 75 jars of green beans, 30 pints of corn, 25 pints of field peas and 20 pints of butterbeans. That's not counting tomatoes, squash, eggplant and peppers. Then I'll think about the fall garden.

    I think density is a factor. They have one big city, and its not that big. But their CFR isn't all that low anymore, and keeps steadily rising. [image: lOYiS4j.png] [image: umfCTah.png]

    When was the last time Purdue was the National Champion? Oh yeah...never. Big Ten champs? Not since 2000. Lets see that would be about 7500 days. So take that you Boilermaker swilling troll.

    Ecmo outside of a hospital setting seems really unlikely. I wonder if he’s still on O2

    This event will receive so much examination for years. There will be constant revelations about people who got surprisingly sick and those who surprisingly did not. We'll learn a lot in the process.
