10mm is The Boom of Doom |
Flatten the Curve? Whoever has the copyright on this phrase must be a zillionaire by now. But I think it misses the point. Or at least the point for me. The graph itself assumes constant capacity. But this is clearly wrong. Everyday we have more companies committing to produce ventilators, masks, gowns, gloves, visors, etc. To say nothing of the efforts to develop effective drugs for treatment and the longer term goal of vaccines. So ideally this graph ought to depict a rising capacity. And if capacity is rising, then clearly we would be able to accommodate a higher peak. Heck, with better treatments, it might actually become no worse than the common flu. So don't say Flatten the Curve. Say instead Delay the Peak. I claim copyright on that. Send me your checks. The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC The Dhimocrats love America like ticks love a hound. | |||

Well at least the gas is cheap. Besides, we still need to fight the scourge of Global Cooling.

Ah, come on. It's no worse than Flatten the Curve. OK. How about, Postpone Death? That better?

Just stop. I can absolutely have faith in the President and at the same time question the advice that he is basing his decisions on. Those two things jive just fine. I'm just hoping that the President starts giving more deference to economic experts come April 30th. That'll be 45 days since the start of this madness or when the President first said "15 days to slow the spread." What I want to know is what will May 1st look like. I'm pretty sure I know what the Fauci vision is. I'm also pretty sure I know what the President's vision is. Mr. President, follow your instincts. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan "Once there was only dark.

They get enough states to go along with this that may be all it takes to remove Trump. Watch how quickly this virus dissipates then. This is and never has been all about a virus and the health of a population. This is why numbers are being inflated and the fear needs to be compounded daily.

This is the douchebag governor of Massachusetts a day after shutting down gun stores, stopping all gun safety classes required for gun license (in person and virtual are banned). He's here praising the Patriots for bringing masks from China. Yes, that's right, he's taking a selfie with a doctor, touching her after they all came back from fricken China. Oh and the kids with gang symbols in the background is a nice touch. (okay I admit they may not be gang symbols, IDK). #socialdistancing These go to eleven. | |||

I've said it before and I'll say it again now. The Democrats are certainly trying to make political capital off of the virus, I'm not arguing that. But if the Democrats had enough power to shut down practically the entire world over a faked pandemic just to rig a presidential election... then they would have enough power that they wouldn't need to, because they would already control everything. | |||

Re: the calculus of the curve. Is the area under the curve equal to the total number of deaths? Is the area the same for both curves? We're trying to flatten the curve so that healthcare is not overwhelmed. Healthcare could presumably handle the flatter curve with our ramping up measures being taken, but are the number of deaths the same--just spread out over a longer period of time? Year V | |||

Based on what I have heard directly from my live-in nurse, that is exactly the case, to the letter. There has been a specific directive to personnel NOT to talk to anyone about the situation in the hospital. Say nothing about equipment shortages or gross violations of previously standing policies, shifts in policies sometimes more than one time in a single shift, etc. Based on my network, I would say I hear reliable info from 3 hospitals in this area, and it's all largely in agreement. ---------------------------- Chuck Norris put the laughter in "manslaughter" Educating the youth of America, one declension at a time. | |||

You have faith in him but think he is following the wrong advice and making bad decisions, gotcha.

One of those two, plus Presby and another a bit further out that I won't mention by name, just in case the MLH folks are trawling the gun boards these days. ---------------------------- Chuck Norris put the laughter in "manslaughter" Educating the youth of America, one declension at a time. | |||

I have friends at both of those hospitals and I’m hearing the same. | |||
