  1. As more data comes out, I'm starting to think several factors. I was in the same boat as far as conflicted over it being here early. after looking at Texas flu data and seeing the ramp up from 10/1 - 1/23, 110k flu tests with only 28k positives. So 75% of ILI's last fall/winter were something other than one of the several flu strains. Also, the mortality/age curve was very similar, <0.1% for 0-17's slowly increasing to the great majority of seats from the 65+ group. Now, with prison data showing around 96% of infected prisoners being asymptomatic with some of those prisons also having up to 60% infection rate... the other thing I found interesting is that story about flu vaccine epparently increasing serious pulmonary infection by 36%... I wonder how many of the severely affected and those who have died had a flu vaccine? Another factor is that CV-19 is most dangerous for older people, parricularly the 80+ group. For one, there are a lot fewer of them in the general population. Also, with state data they make up by far the lowest number of people who get ILI's in part because there are fewer of them and also maybe because they are more likely to have caught crap in their lives and have antibodies for more different things? Also, they are probably less mobile, travel less, go out less, and therefore encounter fewer germs on a daily basis. Except if they are in a nursing home and shit goes down there, then watch out.
  2. We have serious concerns that if we were to put all the dumb members of congress on one side of Guam, the island might tip over and capsize.
  3. So round pupils = ok, slit pupil = venom? any veracity to the story that hogs like to eat rattlers and that it's like a dinner bell, so selection has favored rattle snakes that don't use their rattles?
  4. So we need to look at STDs and their relationship to immunity from CV19. Good news for South Austins mom and about 95% of surly!
  5. Texas DSHS posts flu data as ILI & pneumonia and from 9/30 - 1/21 we had 1,844 during that period, December being the worst
  6. Quarter oz of meth and a carton or marlblows, just keep repeating weekly and you're good?
  7. You're right. Obviously I'm not a doctor, never played one on tv and am generally a surly dumbass
  8. First reported case in US is still 1/21. Now the first confirmed death has been moved up 3 weeks to 2/6 Early doubling rate was reported ~3 days, so from patient 0 it takes 30 days to reach 1,000. If we had a constant RO=5 then the official numbers would work out from 1 on 1/21 to 900k today. None of those are likely true, the RO has not been a constant 5 days (that's the average that works) 1/21 almost certainly was not the first case in US, and there are more than 900k who have been infected. An RO=4 would put us at around 10M. Using RO=4 from 1/21-3/31 and RO=7 since would still have us over 2M. I think it's reasonable to think we are somewhere between those.
  9. <CSB> dad was still a commercial pilot in 2001 nearing retirement. Shortly after 9/11 at the airport, in uniform on his way to work, a young TSA agent was giving him grief. Told him he could not bring his nail clippers and tweezers I believe. Anyways, dad lost it, told him "look here kid, I flew helicopters in Vietnam for this country before you were born. If I wanted to kill everybody on board I would just point the fucker at the ground and my nail clippers aren't doing a damn thing about it." Very soon after pilots were allowed to carry firearms if they chose (he did with a mad max job with rat shot) and that reignited his anger toward TSA experience. <CSB>
  10. I Have P100 resps and like the n95 they have a bladder air release, filtered in, unfiltered out. I bet plain old dust masks or bandanas do equally or even better than those. Thats considering the likely rarity of floating virus in the public (here anyways) and that masking in public is mostly about preventing sick/non symptomatic from spreading, over actually protecting the large majority from inhaling virus.
  11. Didn't I see you're near Yellowstone somewhere? Have you found that old mans gold yet? I worked out where it is but hopefully someone who really needs it finds/found it.
  12. What I read was this from the IRS website while trying to help my inlaws parents get $500 for kids until they reach 17. At that point the 17-24 year olds must have filed taxes in 18 or 19, must not be claimed on their parents taxes, AND cannot get money if they COULD be claimed on their parents taxes. Because kids in college can continue to be claimed b their parents they are not eligible for anything even if they are claimed by their parents. (EDIT: there's info contradicting my last statement, trying to find exactly where I read that on the IRS website but am unable to connect. They must hired that outfit who built their healthcare website to help out with corona) This was an extremely fucked up part of the whole bill. The $2.2 Trillion bill all the asshats spent weeks arguing over, that only part of actually goes to the people it was supposed to provide immediate relief. And it's not free money for the people who get it, just an advance against future tax returns. Meanwhile, if you dig deep you find a significant amount of the money handed out was in the form of grants--free money for those entities who received it.
  13. Let's be fair, aggy needs a tard guard when they go in public. Exceptions must be made for the greater good.
  14. In Austin: I-35 about 60-70% normal depending on direction, notably less rush hour traffic. mopac and 360 are down considerably. 620 isn't skipping a beat, busy as summer with school out. City obviously using this time to do some major road projects on 2222 and SW parkway
  15. Dude, you're just a beating. I don't even necessarily disagree with some of your posts, but damn son. This timeline sucks. I much prefer the one where CTJ stays in RC And BradATX stays in CR
  16. I was actually thinking about that, Singapore or Emirates cabin suites are nice for a long hop, but historically that was offset by several hours wasted at TSA and customs. Guess that won't be the case for a while. Mexico has some of the worst customs waits I have ever seen (holy shit Guadalajara), the commercial arrivals looks like the bus station in India. Probably hours just figuring out what line they are in. The private arrival is about 100 feet to the left, same number of desks. Pick one, they are all open. On return to US you do have to make an extra stop at the first airport in route to clear customs. But you're spending 5 minutes at say Laredo Intl. then return to your FBO instead of baggage check and customs at like DFW.
  17. Sure thing. I'll go for possible coincidence with 2 separate statements. covid-19 might have started in a lab: So there's a new level 4 bio lab in china, built a few years ago and the only one in China that can study the worst shit on planet. Ok fine the lab was to be built by the French, but the Chinese dicided to do it theirselves. Ok, I mean they are known for building quality shit the lab is a couple hundred yards from the wet market where thing is THOUGHT to have originated. Uhh, ok there happens to be a researcher who has been studying and publishing papers on bat corona viruses. Uhh, hmm. she happens to be researching exactly how thesebat corona viruses can infect humans. Well... Lab post job opening in November to help study why bats caronavirus but are long lived. Welp lab posts job opening that the discovered a new and terrible disease and need someone to come deal with it. Ok, fuck that researcher disappears, CCP says she's fine but no one can find her. Yeah missing researchers info scrubbed from labs website. Ok, this may not mean much unless China was trying to cover something up. CCP has also covered this thing up for months and downplayed the seriousness. Well, this is fact. Oh and an attempt to cover up CCP censoring scientists for talking about coronavirus. Pretty normal behavior for CCP, still, coincidence other Chinese scientists blame the lab for letting it out through sloppy safety practices. Coincidences are mounting yet another doctor with detailed knowledge of workings in lab claims several workers infected, viroriginated in lab. Heh, coincidence these doctors and scientists must be anonymous. Oops, they used their real names and info is public on web. Just a side note. A few days later the top bioweapons expert from PLA assumes control over lab. But coincidence remdesvir given to China by US is preemptively patented by pharma owned by son of former CCP leader. A follow the $$ coincidence Coved-19 might have originated in a wet market: Far more likely a new coronavirus just mutated to a form that's both deadly and can infect humans, then jumped to pangolins, then on to humans. And the only coincidence is that this happens at the same time everything else was happening related to the lab. So I will admit that I got carried away. There's not overwhelming evidence, really there's nothing to see here but a whole bunch of coincidences I mean, the simplest solution is certainly not that the virus leaked out of a new lab studying the very thing that is now plaguing us and happens to be a block away from where they think it originated. Diseases just don't ever leak out of labs.
  18. Beach got crazy leading up to spring break, that first weekend of SB in mid march was nuts all thing considered. It seemed every day afterward the number of people halved it closed. I was more than happy to shelter in place/social distance on the beach during the days with the next closest person hanging out 50-100 yards away. Of course there was an exception at cinnamon shores, a group of what looked like 7-8 families arrived after spring break and crowded together with their 30 or so kids. Social distancing completely escaped them.
  19. I'm not claiming it was made in a lab but there are several scientists who are doing exactly that. And according to them the Australian virologist is correct that the previously studied bat virus is not the progenitor virus. That would more likely be SARS1 with sequences inserted from the other bat virus and possibly HIV. i don't know enough about the underlying science to say if the evidence provided means its natural or manipulated, but the evidence is interesting and at face value points to the very real possibility this was modified in the lab. Now, when you go look at what they were studying, at that lab and the papers being published by the lead researcher over the past decade.... well, it becomes clear that "no evidence" is an absolutely false statement. There is evidence and it's significant, though that doesn't automatically make it true.
  20. Quinine slows growth and reproduction of malaria parasite in the red blood cells doesn't kill it, so as a malaria treatment there was often relapse weeks later. I personally think zinc kills viruses, and this does not solve the zinc absorption issue in he cells where covid19 reproduces, that's the mechanism chloroquine provides for the zinc as I understand it. ive heard zinc will kill the herp, so maybe we can send some zinc to raydog so he can do some official surly clinical experiments on some of his girlfriends co-workers. Bound to be a plethora of candidates, he can crush some zinc pills up and spit on it, slather it on his subjects herps then document everything with lots of pics. Of course he can publish all his finding right here, though is NSFW still necessary?
  21. At this point there is overwhelming evidence that covid19 leaked from the lab. theres another utube video called "The first documentary movie on CCP virus, Tracking Down the Origin of the Wuhan Coronavirus" that goes further with research papers from the same lead scientist going back a decade and further evidence that point to a kid up scenario. Something, something the S protein sequence of SARS was compared to Covid19 and the difference was Covid19 had 4 new sequences inserted in it. Also, only 3 known viruses containing all 4 sequences-- HIV, covid19, and a different corona virus from bats that was previously discovered by none other than the same researcher. Also, Sars1 and SARS2 share 82% same genome but the E protein that's 100%. this thing is getting really tinfoily but damn. There's a lot more down that rabbit hole with published research papers and speaking events, along with a spider web of PLA connections. Oh, and seriously fucking fuck the CCP right in their fucking face.
  22. That doesn't seem logical to me, a test that's merely a snapshot in time being more important than a test that shows a broader picture. serious question, if you got sick with an ILi and were on the mend, would you not test positive for antibodies? I can't see how the answer is no unless your body is losing and you're dying. so a test that shows if you've previously had or potentially still have CV if you're recovering, and possibly shows people who are immune... that test isn't as important as a test that says right now at this current moment you aren't infected with zero data to show if you have had, are potentially immune, or that you might have just picked it up on your way to get tested and by the way, good luck over the next few weeks. Makes sense.
  23. So here's a scenario, wondering about the legality. after 9/11 the heavy machinery deal passed, vehicles over 6,000# qualified for 100% depreciation in first year. So say someone were to buy a Tahoe taking the 60/0%, depreciating the vehicle 100% that first year, and then their accountants let them expense the payments over the 60 months. Theoretically is this all ok, and secondly are there statute of limitations on that sort of thing?
