Hi JO!
Glad to see you posting!
Don't be a stranger, post more often, and
Stay safe.
I hope you put in for unemployment when SIX urged you to. The claims are going to be a few hundred miles long by now :eyesroll: and processing is going to take a long time!

ETA: I did post the link, but it would be a chore digging it out from wherever I put it.

Eh - it wasn't UCLA that came up with the X60 factor, it was Cedars Sinai plus me. They came up with a projected number of cases, I calculated the X60 factor from that and the confirmed number of cases at the time.

Immunity will become a societal advantage.
Imagine an America divided into two classes: Those who have recovered from infection with the coronavirus and presumably have some immunity to it; and those who are still vulnerable.
“It will be a frightening schism,” Dr. David Nabarro, a World Health Organization special envoy on COVID-19, predicted. “Those with antibodies will be able to travel and work, and the rest will be discriminated against.”
Already, people with presumed immunity are very much in demand, asked to donate their blood for antibodies and doing risky medical jobs fearlessly.
Soon the government will have to invent a way to certify who is truly immune. A test for IgG antibodies, which are produced once immunity is established, would make sense, said Dr. Daniel R. Lucey, an expert on pandemics at Georgetown Law School. Many companies are working on them.
As Americans stuck in lockdown see their immune neighbors resuming their lives and perhaps even taking the jobs they lost, it is not hard to imagine the enormous temptation to join them through self-infection, experts predicted. Younger citizens in particular will calculate that risking a serious illness may still be better than impoverishment and isolation.
“My daughter, who is a Harvard economist, keeps telling me her age group needs to have COVID-19 parties to develop immunity and keep the economy going,” said Dr. Michele Barry, who directs the Center for Innovation in Global Health at Stanford University.

Hi Siggy. Hi everybody.
I'v been doing alot uv fone yammering lately. Peepl are getting bored and lonely, so pik up the fone.
Also hav been developing a UV jerm killer mask.
Getting alot uv free money! I feel gilty, but know it duznt make sens to. The most prominent feature uv this poor excuse for a sivilization iz that sum peepl get OODLEZ uv free money all the time, so now alot uv workerz are going to get sum for a wile.
A possibl upside to the C-19 pandemic iz that it coud break 'the rich get everything' system wich haz been hobbling the planet for senturyz.
It iz a frajile system, so just 1 pandemic iz making it fall apart. All it coud take iz a 2nd new pandemic, a relatively small asteroid, or a major earth quake and we woud be on our way bak to the stone aje.
The projectionz that the infection rate iz ~60X hire redoos the number uv fatalityz I came up with befor. But, az a comparison to the flu, its probably still valid. How many peepl get the flu but never report it due to mild or no symptomz?
The FPN yammmererz, such az Shapiro, Crowder, Klaven etc. are ignoring that.
6string, wuzzup with the vitriol?

Sigs and Karen have been piling on me ever since I told Karen that AIDS isn't real. Karen loves posting a bunch of fake numbers and passing them off as fact. She's gross.
Sounds like you finally got the unemployment. Good for you.

Piers Morgan has been a strong and steady voice of support for Donald Trump since he took office, but the president’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic has certainly changed that.
Here’s what he had to say on CNN on Sunday:
‘All that is required from the president in those moments, and any world leader, frankly, they have to be calm, show authority, they have to be honest, they have to be accurate, entirely factual with what they’re telling the people and they have to have an ability to show empathy... On almost every level of that, Donald Trump at the moment is failing the American people.’
Morgan, who once won Trump’s television show “Celebrity Apprentice” and has been praised several times on the president’s Twitter feed over the years, went on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” segment just days after he criticized “King Trump” in a column.
Morgan said that he still considers Trump a friend but that he could no longer hold his tongue amid the “mounting horror” that are the daily White House briefings.
“He’s turning these briefings into a self-aggrandizing, self-justifying, overly defensive, politically partisan — almost like a rally to him,” Morgan said. “Trump’s ratings are falling, and the reason for that is — he needs to understand this — they’re falling because people don’t trust him.”

Meanwhile, in reality...
Trump's ratings aren't falling at all.
They're down a bit from the absolute peak he had several weeks ago when polling was conducted, but the latest results that are posted now were done amid millions of Americans not being able to even log into their state's unemployment website, and the stimulus checks had yet to go out. And those numbers are still around his all-time high before the recent peak.
Trump is doing fine. At least his numbers are anyhow.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Quote:Meanwhile in Real reality, rather than inside your head, Trump's approval rating is down significantly from 49% in March, while his disapproval rating is up 9 points from 45%. Even in Trump's favorite poll, Rasmussen has found Trump getting buried for his horrendous response to COVID-19.
