P13315 ... Quoting: CleverCreator Not a good sign. Good morning all! Thunder Boomees are coming our way this afternoon. I am looking forward to the noise. Sorry I offended you earlier today. I didn’t mean to and didn’t think you would take it the way you did. 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. 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. So true, and CC has shown a lot of concern and offered a lot of encouragement on this thread. First tell the truth, then give your opinion.... |

P13315 Based on the recent data and with states having been open for a while now... Quoting: CLYMER 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. (@Faytuks) Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77841583 Brazil has so far reported 19,485 new COVID-19 and 968 new deaths Data from four states not out yet 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. 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. |

Whereas what you posted shows the total hospitalizations which will soon start rising again if the trend of new hospitalizations keeps up. 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. |

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.

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. |

P13315 Based on the recent data and with states having been open for a while now... Quoting: CLYMER 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. 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. |

Just FYI when looking. Bump for fellow civ players. Though I must say having played both civ 5 is still my favorite. Maybe I'm just based Civ 6 is still good at any rate |

P13315 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.
