This Thread Blows - C19 and beyond

As long as you pay it all at once 3 months from now?
It was kind or open ended. They (wells frago) said they would send me more details.

I’m gonna put the money on the side just in case.. there was no talk about how the taxes were getting paid though.
 
Not to beat a dead horse, but I texted a friend of mine who's a higher up at a plant that started manufacturing respirator masks and parts. Now they're a bit special because they make stuff like gas masks for the military usually, but he said they turned it around in a couple days. To paraphrase: we repurposed things we already had to be comparable, 3d printed some molds and used medical grade RTV to create items that wouldn't be readily available.

Yeah, curious on the details. Heard a few different things but did not verify any of them.
 
That would be additive, 2% chance that at least 1 of you dies. 1/100 + 1/100.

1% of 1% chance that both of you die - so .01%. For both you multiply probabilities.

Alternately 99% x 99% chance you both live, or 98.01%.

Chance that only 1 of you dies is 2% minus the chance you both die. So 1.99%.

I don't know I give up. It doesn't add up to 100 so fuck math. @jmanic where did I go wrong?
they are independent - think of it as a density -
1 in 10,000 they both go, 198/10,000 1 goes, 9801/10,000 they both survive.

I know that we have moved on, and this is like 120 Internets ago, but this has been bothering me.

For the record, both @Norm and @Pat (in his own way 😉 ) are saying the same thing and are correct.

2 peeps, each cov+ with a 1% fatality rate:

Both die: .01*.01= .0001 (.01%)
One dies: .01+.01= .02 (2%)
Neither dies: .99*.99=.9801 (98.01%)
Both die on a motorcycle drunk: (87.3%)


But Pat, why are your marginals on LSD?
 
With such drastic reduction of fossil fuel burning worldwide, wouldn't it be ironic if it turned out clean air kills the virus?!
Wouldn’t it be ironic if this was mother nature’s way of cleaning the planet? Global pollution levels are dropping dramatically. Can’t wait to see the scientific studies on the environmental impact this produces 2 years from now.
 
remember when I said I lived thru pandemics in Turkey and this ain't fear yet like a whole 5 days ago?
well, the expiration date on that bit of sanctimony has passed and we have turned the corner boys-n-girls

only two headlines, I could not handle more


"video from inside the train's cab shows Moreno holding a lighted flare during the incident"
WTF? was he waiting for friggin freebird?
 
couple things from the ER my wife told me....

Today shes working in triage, she said she has pulled several people out of cars who were in bad shape and needed to be rushed to ventilators and they are getting alot of patients who need to be on them. She said its getting pretty full....3 patients extubated (taken off the ventilator bc they recovered) today, 3 more tomorrow she hears. But she said they are managing.....today at least. This is not stressing her out...in fact...next week my son was supposed to be on spring break and she had planned to take the week off....since we are now all stuck at home, she canceled that so she could work more.

@Patrick Ill give you a story she told me last night of something that gets her stressed out....She was in the peds ER last night and they had a 4 month old baby come in with a fever...which she tells me is a serious thing and there are a whole bunch of things they need to do...I remember her mentioning a spinal tap...Anyway, only one parent can now come in to the peds ER with the child. Its also complicated now since they go into a room and get isolated and my wife my do the whole routine of gowning and ungowning every time she goes in. So the father came in....apparently he was not super familiar with caring for the baby...The baby started crying...he flipped out and starting yelling at my wife about it...my wife reminded him that he needs to pick the baby up and hold her....I guess this was new to him. He also had no answer for when the baby last ate, or slept, or pooped, etc...nothing. Ok fine...my wife is trying to tell him things thru the intercom, but hes flipping out and not having it and making her come in to hold the baby...which means she has to gown up and off again constantly...just giving her alot of shit....This gets her stressed...being yelled at by parents who are panicking and making it hard for her to do her job.....Working with covid patients, not so much. At least at the moment while things seem to still be under control....we'll have to see what the next few weeks bring.

My mom got a call from her boss today telling her that she is going to be reassigned. The psychiatric floor she works on is being closed down, so they told her they are going to reassign her to a floor with corona patients...Now my mom has never been a nurse on a medical floor...so she was pretty shocked they would even ask...She likes her job and doesnt want to quit, butttt...and i stopped her there..."NO...tell them to fuck off...your too old for that detail. " She is considering it, but she wants to see what the details are first.

Oh yeah....you said that right. Keep mom straight for everyones sake and especially your family. Your mom shouldn't be put in that scenario. Bad analogy but if you ride a bike timid on something over your head you are more likely to get hurt. Someone not meaning to get into this covid thing but with good intentions and timid (understandably) may not have sufficient focus and trained diligence to avoid issues.
