Can’t really comment. I’ve never used TN before.

The best we can hope for is to mitigate the death toll so much that Dunning-Krueger dipshit naysayers will claim they were right all along about it being no big deal.

Pride is powerful

Has she disappeared or been incarcerated? The journalist spoke to her during his incarceration, but it didn't clarify her situation.

@LuFins-Dad

Nope! Look again.

@jon-nyc
Yes, I noted this in one of the earlier articles you posted, and that article made me wonder how many COVID deaths were not reported when the death was at home. It's hard to track, but this gives at least something to work from for info. I'm not surprised that another aricle gives it more direct attention.

The same thing happened in Italy, so it's not a surprise to see it here, too.

Hi All,
It was an interest in playing the piano that led me to this forum by way of PianoWorld many years ago. I think my username there was Opus45, but I often used my first name whenever I posted (mostly on the Adult beginners forum). I still enjoy playing the piano, or more accurately a Yamaha keyboard. I donated a very nice Kawai UST-7 before a recent move to a small town near Asheville, North Carolina (been in downsizing mode for about 5 years).

With some good fortune and being generally frugal I was able to and made a decision to retire a bit early last year (I'll soon be 60 years). I may end up doing some volunteer work at some point, but my plan right now is to take some time and travel around the U.S. (RV) and spend a lot of time outdoors when it's safe to do so again. This will be a huge change from being chained to a desk staring into computer monitors 8 hours a day every day for years on end.

I've lurked here for quite a long time and enjoy reading interesting opinions regarding current events and other various topics that come up from time to time. Several years ago someone asked me where I get my news and I told them I often start here.

Kind of like hiding under your desk when a nuclear weapon is incoming.

@Axtremus lol!

I sent a request to postimage to support this format.

@89th post that in the pinned "Cookbook" thread!

Done! Including pics.

Hippitous, Hoppitous...

@Klaus said in IFR 0.4% ?:

Why should the IFR depend on hugging or kissing or anything like that?

These things influence transmission, but I don't see why they should influence fatality.

I think there are various potential factors. Nobody knows, I guess, the importance of these factors:

maybe the way the data was collected was wrong - there are doubts about how representative they are a somewhat decent health system with well-educated doctors and enough ICU places might be a factor some people claim that we test more and earlier than others; also, people aren't concerned about costs and will go to the doctor early. Together, this might contribute to often catching the disease in its early form when there are more medical options probably a dozen more potential factors

Note that he didn't question the beer connection at all. He must agree.

Indeed it is. His family must be so relieved.

Politically, there might be some quiet disappointment, but it shall be very quiet.

@brenda Mainland China’s face mask production capacity was around 110 million masks per day (late February statistics). China supplied half of the work’s face mask in 2019. Taiwan’s face mask production capacity and policy do not amount to much for the rest of the world in the grand scheme of things.

I have the impression that the mainland Chinese already discriminate against black (very dark-skinned) people even before the pandemic. The pandemic and (most likely government sanctioned) propaganda just exacerbate the discrimination.

You give her too much credit,, Horace.
