    With a virus that can spread asymtomatically? How were they to do that? Do you know they did not take the steps they could? Simply not possible to quarantine staff.

    Edit, didn’t read the part about casualties. Tragic.

    As soon as he said "brown residue" I knew where it was going.

    I must say that I like the 214VC significantly more than the non-VC version. It is less Bösendorfer-y, in some ways, but it just sounds and feels better.

    @Rich you can watch his program again if you click on the link above. I watched it again from the beginning. I still marvel at Hamelin's musicianship and astounding technique.

    There was a town in Italy where almost 70% of blood donors tested positive for antibodies.

    But then 1.7% of the population had died of the virus, so you can imagine it was pretty close to sweeping.

    I don't think we really opened them up to commerce, I think they did that for themselves. It's possible that is what allowed the CCP to survive. It's also been said that China is now a lot less open economically than it was in the 80's and 90's.

    @Klaus here's the marketing page for Lightroom. Gives a decent overview, and the Adobe forums are a good place to find very specific answers.

    Lady Phibes is SAHM. For some inexplicable reason, I'm just getting a subtle hint that she's not that mad keen on me being a WAHD on a longer-term basis.

    @Klaus said in The viral plot thickens...:

    @jon-nyc said in The viral plot thickens...:

    It’s weird that both of these are (seem to be) true:

    1] Initial viral load correlates with disease severity
    2) No difference in viral load between symptomatic and asymptomatic cases

    But the load as measured in 2) is not initial, or is it? So where is the weirdness?

    Why would you have a high viral load in an asymptomatic patient?

    "No one wants to talk evacuation, especially when there's nowhere to go," says a senior military officer working on continuity of government planning; he requested anonymity because he is not authorized to speak on the record.

    That senior military officer knows exactly where they will go.

    A few miles south of route 7 on the top of the Blue Ridge. This was always on the tour for my demonstration flights. (It's not secret anymore) There is a steady stream of military helicopter flights to this location from the DC area.

    I am sure parts of government tasked with defense are still considering this pandemic may be the first shot fired in a war. It is wise to be prepared.
