Congratulations to these two patients and their healthcare providers.

What’s the statistical significance of this two cases? Very much looking forward to some systematic clinical trial results.

Yep. Mine is set to 140.

I agree they need a look, but Trump needs to be careful about saying those who failed in their duty need to be held accountable. Those are very subjective terms and he has so many vultures circling over him.

Yep. That is a truly menschy thing to do. There will likely be a lot of those available soon.

I'm waiting for @Larry to reply, "Ok Pelosi, ladies first..." 🤣

It is.

BTW, as an example of things we don't make...That mill at one time had five paper machines, making colored paper, food wrap paper, popcorn bag paper, cardboard, writing paper, envelope paper, etc.

They now only run one of at the most, two machines, and only make a couple of types of paper.

Where's the other stuff being made?

Give me three guesses.

First two don't count.

What’s the modern day analogy for this?
Close the old MP3 and open the new MP3?
Trash the old MP3 and download the new MP3?

If rare earths are actually rare, isn’t it better if China draws down their supply first?

Sounds like they’re the cheapest game in town.

It was an Amdahl machine, it was their (Amdahl's) first machine capable of a Gigaflop. This was early 80s.

And it was not a single processor, it had many CPs. I don't remember exactly how many, my fuzzy recollection is that it was hundreds, not a few or a dozen. I don't remember them competing with anything Cray made.

I believe it used the same air-cooled processors, the 470, that was current in their mainframes at the time. The 470 was the competition for IBM 370 that ruled the world at that time. Air-cooling was a big deal, the IBM mainframes were water cooled and that added to expense and complexity.

The simulations are fascinating. I ask myself however if there was large impact greater than 6 feet wouldn’t we see a lot more infected.... anytime sometime goes to a grocery store or people out biking or running that otherwise self quarantined? We haven’t heard those stories yet have we?

We already have. Tons of people have no idea how or why they got infected.

Most people think a fomite is something the Orkin Man sprays for...

I guess it's only fair. Jon feels like Trump's been fucking him for three years now.

I doubt Jon got a check.

Told you.

@Horace said in Another contrarian view: Does quarantine matter?:

I'm curious how "everybody wears a mask and gloves and washes their hands a lot" compares to quarantine.

Quarantine is better because it's far more enforceable. No way to make sure people wear masks for example, and that would really help.

Lolwut? So they have a schizophrenic virus that can detect any virus?

@jon-nyc said in Peak infectious period at or before symptoms begin:

Yikes. With an estimate that 44% of people were infected by people not yet showing symptoms.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0869-5

Add to that asymptomatic people and people not tested do we think we might be closer to herd immunity than we understand?

And what the hell is with that weird formatting?

Oh I see.
