How bad has it gotten, Improv?

OTOH...

Maybe Dr. Phil is available.

Seems that all the info coming in lately points to most carriers being asymptomatic.

Kind of a mixed bag. Potentially very good news in terms of the death rate, potentially devastating news in terms of the R0 and total death count.

Why don't people realize when they become their own worst enemy?

Idiots.

Online gathering in progress now.

Back when it was just a shack in Madison Park we would eat there for lunch sometimes. It was so busy they had a webcam installed so you could see the line. We'd check it at random times and go when it was short.

It was literally a shack, like a concession stand.

Then they grew. Still a damn good burger IMO.

Sure it was a dud?😳

What I was told and didn't go off, so, I guess?

[Quote]Interesting characterization on China. There was a President in between Clinton and Obama.

A $24K MSRP on a fridge is pretty normal on a $1M house. And a $1M house is pretty average in many major metro areas in the U.S.. Trump literally has gold toilets.

Trump also tries to inject comedy and humor into everything he does - an order of magnitude more than any other President.

And finally, if you can't make fun of the President - who the fuck can you make of.[/quote]

I'm talking about Hillary. Where in the hell did you get the idea only a president can sell us out?

My house is more than that, and my freezer cost me about a thousand. For 24 thousand I can install a 7-11 full of freezers. I've been in lots of million dollar houses and never once seen a 24k freezer in one. What the hell does that have to do with anything?

Trump paid for his gold toilets with his own money. Pelosi paid for her million dollar house and her 24k freezer with money she made screwing over taxpayers.

There's making fun, and there's a constant barrage of whiny assed bull shit that never lets up from ideological morons.

Like I said - lead, follow, or shut the fuck up and get out of the way.

BTW, I went into a smaller, local grocery store for most of what I bought today. I've known their butcher for 45 years...P.J. told me that things were getting back to normal as far as his job went. I noticed I could buy just about what I wanted, with the exception of some really nice ribeyes or such, but that store doesn't tend to stock that type of product. Real blue-collar type of store.

Just inhale our Lysol-like aerosol twice/day. Gets in your lungs, kills the virus before it starts its damage. Our anti-virus mouthguard continuously protects you against virus entry via mouth, or through your nose as you exhale.

@Horace said in Questioning Conventional Wisdom in the COVID-19 Crisis:

the "lives are priceless" idea is nonsense,

Yes, of course.

What do insurance companies think of the price of a life these days?

Is the demand for insurance going up? If so is the price going up?

Maybe both are going down.

Those guys could give you a reasonable number to put on a life.

I can see that. Kitchen real estate is precious.

Have I told you how much I love my Breville?

can't move the thumb joint still. I think I have a secondary rupture of that tendon in the wrist. I felt a sharp pain there once while the primary rupture was fresh and I accidentally flexed that muscle. i think the tendon was in a weird position and tore itself. If I'm right then there was a length of tendon there between my wrist and thumb totally disconnected from anything else. One end got connected in surgery and I think the other end is still detached. But the doctor thinks this may be just a "block" on the tendon sheath. I could use an MRI but they're not doing those according to the doctor, due to the virus.

The student left a couple weeks ago, she's back in japan now I think in home quarantine. Her school here won't be re-opening this year.

Beaches can be controlled, but it will take considerable personnel. They are probably about the easiest public spot to control.
