BillStime Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 OT - Random question - what network are you folks going to watch the draft on tonight? And do you think there is any chance McBeane trades into the first round?

I don't think he will try to move back into the first round; however, I think he might move up in a couple subsequent rounds. 1

Pretty sure you meant 0.5% not 0.005% 0.005% of 2.7M is only 135 people. Over 500 died just today according to worldometers. Also, I get a value more like 0.8% 20861 / 2700000 = 0.77269....

Buffalo_Gal Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Trump: Chatting out the money for the paycheck protection program (right now, the House is voting on a rule suspension) Speaking about colleges sending back money (specifically Harvard) Rapid decline in new cases 46 states report a drop in symptoms Scientists have released a temperature report... virus does better in cooler temperatures, less well in humid,warmer climates.

Hope he gets better. 1 1
Buffalo_Gal Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) You know, day after day I listen to this, and the logistics of what has happened in the last 4-6 weeks is simply amazing. Trump: Expanded access program for transfusions (3K people in it). Convalescent plasma will be used for a concentrated antibody treatment that does not have to be matched to blood type. Clinical trials will begin soon. AI experts are scanning the data of the 52K papers on COVID-19. Edited April 23, 2020 by Buffalo_Gal 3 1 1

Why the hell do you think anyone who isn't a Sean Hannity watching partisan kool-aid drinker would come and waste their time reading and posting here if that weren't so? I give these posters credit for even sticking around with some of the crap that gets flung every day. Respect begets respect. If you bag on peaple who differ from you and give them a hard time, they're generally gonna give it right back. I've been here long enough to know how it works. No mods and anything goes. Personally, I'm generally respectful and try to give consideration to other peaples' views, unless they happen to be completely batschitt crazy. I've found, generally speaking, that that attitude is returned - except for @4merper4mer who always reminds me I'm bald. He's a dick. 2
Buffalo_Gal Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Pence: Task force met today. Data shows promising signs of process. Naming the big cities, pass their peak. Decline in hospitalizations. Back on to guidelines. Hoping that by summer much of this will be behind us. Ben Carson of HUD will be refocusing a council for the impact on COVID-19 on minorities.Bill Bryan (homeland security) will be coming up with the impact of heat and sunlight on coronavirus. Governor call tomorrow. Listing how, after the call on Monday, how many more people are able to be tested daily in each state. Edited April 23, 2020 by Buffalo_Gal 1 1

Buffalo_Gal Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Pence: the $75B in the new bill to help hospitals. Encouraging states to restart elective surgeries, either across the state or county-by-county, where possible. Task force received state reopening plans, 16 states have given them formal plans. Bill Bryan, Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Under Secretary for Science and Technology - study Working on R&D Bio-defense analysis center (Fredrick MD), works with a buncha agencies. Emerging results trends (showing slides) Solar light kills it in the air and on surfaces.

Buffalo_Gal Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) FIND THIS GUY'S CLIP!! Bleach kills it in 5 minutes, isopropyl alcohol kills in in 30 seconds Trump - asking about hitting the body with a light, or inside the body with a light. They will be testing that. Trump also asking about disinfectant in the lungs. The guy said they will be testing that. Edited April 23, 2020 by Buffalo_Gal 1 1

TtownBillsFan Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 1 hour ago, arcane said: The U of Washington study and Imperial college study each had 2+ mil if nothing was done, and a floor of 100-250k if rigorous and strict social distancing measures were in place everywhere. What people comment on is that we made decisions based off of this, and then watched them adjust their predictions come in at half of their floor value as plenty of areas did a downright poor job of social distancing compared to what the models asked for at the times they made the claims. pointing out that this is important to note isn't a far right thing, even if far right people take it to ill-advised conclusions (and I don't see a lot of people asking for ill-advised things in this thread) For emphasis, I'll restate, we just got done watching a several week process of these models walking back their projected death totals by a huge percentage lower than their previous best case scenarios, as the country did a thoroughly mediocre job of shutting down. We were obviously working with bad data, and perhaps bad models, and should be talking about this so that we are making the next round of decisions with better models and data. This is not a right or left wing talking point, it is reality I'm a 'far rightie', and I was game for the shutdown until we got an idea what we were dealing with, and to give the hospitals, etc., time to make sure they were going to be able to handle any massive outbreak. Once we saw that the infrastructure was sufficient to handle things, area to area, I think we should have then treated this like we would the flu: stay home if you're sick and/or susceptible, and use increased hygiene precautions. I didn't and don't think a full shut-down of the country was necessary, especially after the first 2-3 weeks (and I'm fairly certain this will be shown to be the case). They should have had the young and healthy out and about doing their normal things a couple weeks ago at least, and keep the elderly and infirm at home, like they've forced on us all instead.
Buffalo_Gal Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 Press: will social distancing be extended? Trump: we will see Trump: I once mentioned it goes away with heat and light, and the #fakenews didn't like that, but now it seems like it may be the case. 1 1
