Not a good sign.

Good morning all!

Thunder Boomees are coming our way this afternoon. I am looking forward to the noise.
 Quoting: CleverCreator


Sorry I offended you earlier today. I didn’t mean to and didn’t think you would take it the way you did.
 Quoting: sos


No offense taken.

You are loved. If I get cranky it is only because there is nothing that I can do (large scale) to help others.

And extra crops, I will leave bags on my neighbors doors. But that just feels so small compared to my old skill set. I am only a few years in on my own new normal so this is a little frustrating at being “unable” to truly help.
 Quoting: CleverCreator



When I was working I had a different life style than I do now that I'm retired so perhaps I can relate.

To offer an unsolicited thought? Thought, care, concern, and love that accompany any help you're able to offer DOES add "value" to what you're able to give. It's more about what's behind the gift than the gift itself.
 Quoting: Larry D. Croc


So true, and CC has shown a lot of concern and offered a lot of encouragement on this thread.

Based on the recent data and with states having been open for a while now...

It's really looking like there may not be a second wave or surge of cases.

Really gets me wondering about the validity of this whole crisis.
 Quoting: CLYMER


(@Faytuks)

Brazil has so far reported 19,485 new COVID-19 and 968 new deaths

Data from four states not out yet

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77841583


I think we only need to look to Brazil to see that the initial outbreak truly was a crisis that warranted unprecedented measures to get under control.

Due to their piss poor testing, numbers from Brazil could easily be 10 times higher than what is reported above.

But the thing is, you give them an inch.. they take a mile. Once we knew we could control the outbreak and things leveled off, it was time to take the planet off of house arrest.

Although it doesn't happen much, in most US states you can be arrested right now for leaving your home if the police officer doesn't like your explanation as to why you're out.

Think about that for a minute. That's been the case for 2.5 months now, and in some states will end up being the case for 4 months.

People subject to arrest at any time if the government doesn't like your explanation. Even if it doesn't happen often, it's not OK for that to be the status quo for anything but the utmost period of emergency... which has long passed.
 Quoting: R. Wordsworth


I definitely agree regarding the power grab aspect of this whole fiasco.

Do you agree that there won't be a resurgence / second wave? I can't wrap my head around why Brazil is seeing such number, but here in the US we aren't after basically opening things back up.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77841583


Even his chart was inconclusive, to my eyes.

When it comes down to it, in my opinion current hospitalization levels were due to an initial outbreak that was orders of magnitude higher than reported numbers.

With current mitigation measures I feel that hospitalization numbers will drop below that of what you would see from seasonal flu.

That's already the case in NYC, which had one of the worst outbreaks in the world. They are actually lower than what they would see from the flu right now.

If we can hold at those levels, we can open society and live with the consequences of this bug.

(January 11, 2015) Live for ever: Scientists say they’ll soon extend life ‘well beyond 120’
Fixing the ‘problem’ of ageing is the mission of Silicon Valley, where billions is pouring into biotech firms working to ‘hack the code’ of life
– despite concerns about the social implications. In September 2013 Google announced the creation of Calico, short for the California Life Company.
Its mission is to reverse engineer the biology that controls lifespan and “devise interventions that enable people to lead longer
and healthier lives”. Though much mystery surrounds the new biotech company, it seems to be looking in part to develop age-defying drugs.
In April 2014 it recruited Cynthia Kenyon, a scientist acclaimed for work that included genetically engineering roundworms to live up to six times longer than normal,
and who has spoken of dreaming of applying her discoveries to people. In March 2014, pioneering American biologist and technologist Craig Venter
– along with the tech entrepreneur founder of the X Prize Foundation, Peter Diamandis – announced a new company called Human Longevity Inc.
It isn’t aimed at developing anti-ageing drugs or competing with Calico, says Venter. But it plans to create a giant database of 1 million human genome sequences by 2020, including from supercentenarians.
In an office not far from Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, with a beard reaching almost to his navel, Aubrey de Grey is enjoying the new buzz about defeating ageing.

(March 6, 2018) What if billionaires could live forever?
Several billionaires, most of them Californians, have been funding firms involved in developing life-extension technologies.
What if they succeed? What if billionaires alive today live indefinitely and get ever richer?

Diamandis and Hariri's new venture is the latest example of a well-established phenomenon in Silicon Valley:
Extremely wealthy techno-optimists have for years been funding biomedical R&D companies meant to achieve immortality for their funders.
Some of the more recognizable names who have been putting money into such efforts: Larry Ellison (founder of Oracle),
Larry Page and Sergey Brin (founders of Google), Jeff Bezos (founder of Amazon), and Peter Thiel, cofounder of PayPal and Palantir Technologies.
Palantir, by the way, is a "big-data" company that uses algorithms to scan huge datasets for patterns.
It does a lot of work for US government intelligence agencies. Thiel is a radical corporate libertarian, and Silicon Valley's best-known Donald Trump supporter.
In late February, Diamandis wrote to subscribers of his email bulletin: "I asked the smartest people I know for their tech predictions for the next 20 years (2018 – 2038).
What are the breakthroughs we can expect on our countdown to the Singularity?" One of the predictions he listed was that by 2030, "humanity will have achieved Longevity Escape Velocity for the wealthiest."

Do you agree that there won't be a resurgence / second wave? I can't wrap my head around why Brazil is seeing such number, but here in the US we aren't after basically opening things back up.
 Quoting: CLYMER


I believe 100% that the re-opening won't lead to a second wave anywhere near what we saw originally.

It's also hard to believe that we won't see at least a bit of an uptick from where we are now once people really start getting back out into society.

The question is, how much of an uptick... that increased amount of infections might still be less that what we are seeing right now, once all the cases from the initial outbreak work their way to resolution.

If the rebound ends up somewhere around where we are at right now, I think society as a whole would find in manageable to deal with until a vaccine, treatment, or herd immunity is reached... if possible.

Brazil's outbreak started way after the US, just like the US started way after Italy.

But long story long... no I don't think the second wave will manifest.

– despite concerns about the social implications. In September 2013 Google announced the creation of Calico, short for the California Life Company.
Its mission is to reverse engineer the biology that controls lifespan and “devise interventions that enable people to lead longer
and healthier lives”. Though much mystery surrounds the new biotech company, it seems to be looking in part to develop age-defying drugs.
In April 2014 it recruited Cynthia Kenyon, a scientist acclaimed for work that included genetically engineering roundworms to live up to six times longer than normal,
and who has spoken of dreaming of applying her discoveries to people. In March 2014, pioneering American biologist and technologist Craig Venter
– along with the tech entrepreneur founder of the X Prize Foundation, Peter Diamandis – announced a new company called Human Longevity Inc.
It isn’t aimed at developing anti-ageing drugs or competing with Calico, says Venter. But it plans to create a giant database of 1 million human genome sequences by 2020, including from supercentenarians.
In an office not far from Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, with a beard reaching almost to his navel, Aubrey de Grey is enjoying the new buzz about defeating ageing.

(March 6, 2018) What if billionaires could live forever?
Several billionaires, most of them Californians, have been funding firms involved in developing life-extension technologies.
What if they succeed? What if billionaires alive today live indefinitely and get ever richer?

Diamandis and Hariri's new venture is the latest example of a well-established phenomenon in Silicon Valley:
Extremely wealthy techno-optimists have for years been funding biomedical R&D companies meant to achieve immortality for their funders.
Some of the more recognizable names who have been putting money into such efforts: Larry Ellison (founder of Oracle),
Larry Page and Sergey Brin (founders of Google), Jeff Bezos (founder of Amazon), and Peter Thiel, cofounder of PayPal and Palantir Technologies.
Palantir, by the way, is a "big-data" company that uses algorithms to scan huge datasets for patterns.
It does a lot of work for US government intelligence agencies. Thiel is a radical corporate libertarian, and Silicon Valley's best-known Donald Trump supporter.
In late February, Diamandis wrote to subscribers of his email bulletin: "I asked the smartest people I know for their tech predictions for the next 20 years (2018 – 2038).
What are the breakthroughs we can expect on our countdown to the Singularity?" One of the predictions he listed was that by 2030, "humanity will have achieved Longevity Escape Velocity for the wealthiest."

In the year 2154, humanity is sharply divided between two classes of people: The ultrarich live aboard a luxurious space station called Elysium, and the rest live a hardscrabble existence in Earth's ruins. His life hanging in the balance, a man named Max (Matt Damon) agrees to undertake a dangerous mission that could bring equality to the population, but Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) vows to preserve the pampered lifestyle of Elysium's citizens, no matter what the cost.

Based on the recent data and with states having been open for a while now...

It's really looking like there may not be a second wave or surge of cases.

Really gets me wondering about the validity of this whole crisis.
 Quoting: CLYMER



The social distancing is part of it. Warmer weather is also. Even though, the warm temp doesn't affect the actual virus, the fact that hot air dries up faster, is part of it. The air doesn't carry as long in hot weather as it does cold. Plus, people are probably in the sun more. So, the bad part is, that people will start hugging, kissing, shaking hands soon. That will bring the r0 up to about 3 in my opinion.

And you continue to post this, in this particular thread why?

To clue you in? It doesn't make you edgy. You're not one of the cool kids.

I'd compare you with the mosquito attempting to mate with an elephant who kept saying "take that!"

Go be a failure somewhere else, ok? Thanks, enjoy your evening.

Pretty sure he just does it to get a rise out people lol. He's a troll who prefers repetition. I admit I troll occasionally (not on this thread) but I prefer subtle trolling when I do

I'm not worried about him posting.

I will start to worry when he stops... like when the "It only kills Asians" guy stopped.
