@George-K said in Cannabis may prevent covid-19 infection according to new study: @Axtremus I was referring to ethanol taken internally. Would that be much different from Grant's?

I think it is interesting with franchise companies. On one side, they say that each store is not owned by them, so they have no control over (certain) things in the store. On the other side, stores have to follow pretty strict requirements and rules that are put out by the main company, are they cannot be a franchise.

Waiting for Aqua to weigh in, as I think he knows the Aussie mindset better than I...

@Mik said in The USA is winning COVID-19: Meh. Half the country thought Bush and Obama were bullshit too. No change there. If you're CNN, etc., it's good for business.

It's Trump's fault.

@Horace said in Steven Mnuchin: No one should give their lives to increase the GDP: If you hear it coming, don't think it's a zebra. Hey - I hear hoof beats, I'm thinking the neighbor teen's stereo.

Still waiting but I’m assuming I’m negative This study seems to imply that we have only 1% infectivity https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/19/world/coronavirus-global-world.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

HI Cats Eye, good to hear from you. Sorry that things are not feeling well for you, but I am sure you will get through this stronger than ever!!! We will send positive thoughts to you

@Jolly said in I said this from day 1: Let me state for the record...I very, very rarely will read a NYT link. And I damn sure ain't gonna pay for the privilege. It’s so valuable. I knew that story of the virus would be milked until the story of the economic disaster was worth more. The NYT acted as predicted. The trick will be to tie both to Trump.

I understand trying but like jolly I can’t begin to imagine. I can’t breathe effectively through a cloth mask, just in normal activities. I tolerate it. I wonder because I am athletic I notice it more.

No, a puddy tat.

@LuFins-Dad said in Minnesota is winning ...: Wait, if the Census is the mechanism used to determine the population, how can they calculate a reporting percentage? The denominator of that equation is what they are trying to determine! In this instance, they are talking about the self response rate, i.e., the # of self responses divided by the number of surveys sent. The denominator is simply the number of surveys that have been sent out, and the Census Bureau knows how many they sent out.
