  1. But what if your face is contaminated? You should really wash your face also. After you disinfect the faucet...
  2. He's explicitly saying China lies, even if you were in office. I don't know how you get "everything was handled perfectly" from that.
  3. Yep. The real thing is hard to beat. slow day at the office.
  4. Upthread there is an article that explains that Pharm mfg went offshore because FDA regulation just couldn't be as onerous/effective (take your pick) in China. edit: so the point is that in some cases regs have driven industries overseas, either directly or indirectly by imposition of more costs etc. I'm not saying fuck the planet or whatever but all those dangerous carcinogens we "banned" are just made in China under even less oversight.
  5. Do you think that a dutiful reading your posts would be more likely to prompt the average sulryer to: a) mask up b) go to the nearest Covid ICU and lick the linoleum c) commit suicide
  6. Well if all you do is hang out at grocery stores then yeah, there is no shutdown.
  7. They wanted to get more people sick (herd immunity). More people got sick. Seems like they succeeded.
  8. https://phys.org/news/2020-04-genetic-barcode-rapidly-revealing-covid-.html Genetic tracing 'barcode' is rapidly revealing COVID-19's journey and evolution opening graph my money quote is the last graph
  9. thought that ^ was interesting (husband is Oncologist...)
  10. Since we're all talking anecdotes 3 emps in my shop were able to get tested in 915, 1 w/ symptoms and the other two because they were riding around in the truck with the first guy. They got the test right away at a local health center, this was about 2 weeks ago (all negative). TBH I don't get the apparent gravity of the testing issue, particularly at this stage. Obviously I'd like to test everyone that sneezes and quarantine the +s, but I think we know that asymptomatic spread is a big issue (by both those who will and those who will not remain asymptomatic). Also let's say we're testing errbody (meaning asymptomatic) and I get tested and am infected by someone else at the clinic, but I (correctly) test negative (let's go to the football game/concert/coronavirus protest!). But now I'm positive and will very soon be shedding the virus. So how often do we retest? One test doesn't really tell you much (I don't have it right this second... Oops now I've got it). Also, isn't the point of the testing what we do w/ the data? In SK they were able to track/notify/control in a way that isn't feasible and wouldn't be as effective here for geographic and murica reasons. So let's assume we could wave a wand and test X number tomorrow (w/ X being whatever number of whatever population/demographic the surl deems need testing). Then what? (obligatory 1. test 2... 3. profit) edit: shit rpspeed beat me to it (MA antibody test story) IMO antibody tests data is more important now
  11. Cite list of people who want a test but can't get one? Absent that how have we shown he misspoke?
  12. ? They're not doing that on this thread. So I don't really know what your point is.
  13. Gus ain't fuckin' around.
  14. Even better: what the fuck else is there to do? Let's pivot to the subject of testing. We haven't covered that.
  15. Okay that was a nice troll job. You had me going there. I tip my hat.
