    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    For what it's worth, the events of Wednesday and our different reactions to it have convinced me that any political conversation I get involved with on this forum adds to the problem, and I won't be doing it anymore. I won't be posting in the election/politics thread anymore, ever, though I do...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Jessie's suggestion of waiting for the full year numbers seems prudent. However, the spike in deaths in the weeks of April-May (coincident with early COVID-19 peak) and again in the summer and fall, coincident with the disease peaks at those times give an early read on what the results will be...

    Anyone who can support Trump at this point is Look, folks were peacefully protesting in June in DC. With permission from a church to use their yard. They were chased off with teargas and rubber bullets because the president wanted to wave a bible around, upside down. If you don't think this is...

    Property damage should be punished both civilly and criminally. Insurrection should be punished under the relevant statutes in addition to the charges that should be brought for the property damage, costs to restore control, etc.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    I don't support property destruction, whether it be by largely white, largely armed MAGA-emblazoned mobs or BLM or any other group. I will say with confidence that if a mob of black people, armed or not, tried to storm the Capitol under any circumstances, we would have a bodycount in the dozens...

    One question: are the people who have stormed the Capitol, broken windows, overwhelmed security, and gone inside disrupting the proceedings: A) Protesters B) Rioters ?

    Looking for automation around temperature monitoring

    This is all kind of funny to me, using these thrifty tiny computing packages. I have three full windows 10 systems available for this project, with the likely one being a 2014 era Intel Nuc that is just sitting around and hasn't booted in a year. [emoji846] Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using...

    Thanks. I had to put this on the back burner for a while but I'm still interested and hope to make progress this winter! Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Hi all, For the holidays I'm taking a break from social media in general and threads about scientific/political arguments and related divisive stuff specifically. I'm unsubscribing from this thread for the next two weeks and will check back in after the holidays. I'll still be on the forum in a...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Some reactions are expected. Even your article hosted on zerohedge points out most people get through it just fine. For comparison, my reactions to my recent shingles vaccine (both first and booster) made me miss some work, but I don't regret getting it. It was always the plan to follow...

    I think they are referring to suggestions Biden, who is the president elect, might not get sworn in. You are probably aware, that there are those still spreading lies about election fraud. I stay out of that thread however. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Yes, I'm expecting Biden will be inaugurated. Other than Trump declaring martial law, "suspending" the constitution and ending the American experiment in democracy, which some of his aides and confidants are recommending, I don't see any plausible scenarios where this doesn't happen. Even...

    4. Yes, but don't worry, less corrupt politicians will be in office on January 20. 5. The MSM DID NOT IGNORE the hack. Half my newsfeed has been about this stuff for the past week. Who's trying to ignore the hack? Guess? Darth Vanity: He says the MSM has been overplaying it, so I guess that...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    How is this in any way controversial? Minorities are suffering more burden from the disease than white folks, in a state-by-state different way, and it's reasonable for states to address this in their vaccine roll-out plans. If you read the article, it gets into the reasoning and response to...

    Here's an article on the California hospital shortage. Confirms staffing is the big problem. Since the country as a whole is suffering, it's hard to import health care workers from elsewhere...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    Pretty crappy article, on the whole. The headline should be "Sustained Lockdowns Are Saving Californians" Do the math. California, a state of almost 40 million people, is 7-day-rolling-averaging just over 200 deaths per day (and rising). Indiana, a state that has been mostly open for the last...

    3. Hospitals get paid more for covid cases because of the PPE they need to use and the amount of staff needed for these cases. This is a financial incentive. Doctors don't get paid more to diagnose folks with COVID-19, though. 4. I don't doubt this is true, but how come so many republican-run...

    Again, see the explanation of how the same precautions (distancing/masks) will have a varied effect depending on the R0 of the disease. This stuff is not necessarily obvious to people who don't have a background in it, but a certain amount of reduction of interaction can be enough to get disease...

    Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

    We're seeing the largest ever spike because we only briefly got R back below 1 (varied by state, but broadly over April/May and still in the summer in some places). Then R got back up over 1 in most places and it spread more widely, when restrictions were removed. In Indiana it's a very clear...

    Keep in mind, all, that I live in Indiana. I know a LOT of what I call traditional republicans, and even at my workplace (back when I went into an office) republicans outnumbered democrats. I'm really quite interested in all this stuff. I recognize that I'm not going to change anyone's mind...

    @bigredfish , thanks for the reply. Thanks for pointing out where we diverge in our thinking. It really is useful. I would buy you a shot of bourbon, if I could. Let's drill down a bit. If I had broken it down further, as follows: 10a. Broadly speaking, social distancing measures have...

    One of the reasons I participate here is because I really do appreciate being exposed to different ways of thinking outside my liberal bubble. I get that there are many different interpretations of things. But sometimes I really can't understand the logic behind the different viewpoints. This...

    It's not difficult. Flu is transmitted by face to face contact. There's not much of that going on now, relatively speaking, so prevalence is way down. The prevalence is studied a continuous basis and the numbers drop coincides with Covid/distancing measures. It's not all the way gone, but down...

    The flu has disappeared this year because masks and social distancing have reduced it's prevalence by 10-20 told, based on monitoring data. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk
