[quote]They want BOTH sections FULL. the only stat that should matter is % of covid patients in hospitals[/quote] That’s why I said COVID usage for both hospital and ICU beds... I also mentioned up in the thread, as you correctly state, that ICU usage is [i]supposed[/i] to be high. Hel...

Maricopa County doesn’t look great. I don’t know anyone there, so I’m not informed on how stressed they really are. It’s a small overall population, but Kings County, California doesn’t seem well suited to its outbreak in the local prison system. ...

[quote]Got it. Is there a meaningful stat that tracks what we would care about in this regard - i.e. hospitals actually getting over-burdened?[/quote] As COVID hospitalizations rise (especially COVID ICU usage), that should prompt us to ask those systems for more information on the nature of that...

[quote]I have never seen this accusation.[/quote] I have. It’s a call back to the GIS data scientist’s allegations in early May about the Florida Department of Health requiring epidemiological oversight before posting data publicly. That was twisted into an accusation that Florida was hiding case...

Hospital beds is not a very valuable statistic because it’s not a fixed resource. Hospitals can remove elective procedures or transfer them to other facilities, can add surge capacity, and/or can go above surge capacity by reformatting non-ICU beds into ICU beds. Hospitals try to maximize ICU usage ...

Can't speak on his actions on the other initiatives, but the PPE work has been stellar....

[quote]The US could [b]Begin[/b] seeing up to 100,000 new cases [/quote] Welcome to early March, Fauci. We probably had well over 100k new cases daily but just didn’t know it due to the CDC and FDA screwing up testing....

[quote]I don’t think the European Union is testing like we are. [/quote] It is very difficult to find daily testing numbers for the EU. Does anyone know a good source? Also, the EU is undergoing a similar phenomenon on a regional basis. Western Europe is in the position of New York, while Eas...

Ha, what’s the world coming to when companies with the strength of management of Chester J Marine go BK!?!?...

[quote]Probably have 50 locally owned marine operators or supply companies who are out of business bc they can’t afford the insurance.[/quote] This is just stupid. They are out of business because they have huge notes on boats that haven’t left the dock in years. To know the extent that p&i insur...

[quote]Woodrow Wilson reignited the klan. If you take the historical curve out of the equation, he’s still our single most racist President we’ve ever had. Yes, even more racist than the slave holding Presidents. Woodrow Wilson ruined this country to unbelievable degree. Besides Buchanan, he is our ...

They should have just done mandatory masks instead of lockdowns from the start. Much less restrictive....

There are avenues for whistleblowers. Publishing a book for profit is not one of them, so why should we find this credible?...

[quote]If we take this 4.6% positivity rate and apply it to the US population, that would put the number of infected individuals at 15.2M. We've had 110K deaths out of the 15.2M which yields an actual mortality rate of .72%.[/quote] This is actually right on point with what the Gu coronavirus mod...

My Garmin told me I wasn’t maximizing my long runs so I did today’s as a progressive push and increased my total distance to 15. I got my aerobic training effect up, so I guess it worked....

If you were at work instead of watching daytime television you wouldn’t get bombarded with ads....

[quote]The judges are trying to present the case for the DOJ instead of ruling between the arguments presented by the DOJ & Flynn.[/quote] Don't read too much into the judges' questions. They don't necessarily relate to how they decide....

What the hell was Sydney's last argument? Amici are allowed in criminal cases at the district court when there's still a controversy? That is contrary to her own briefing....

I did my (now) normal Sunday long run. I am starting to see my heart rate go down for the same pace, so that’s a positive. I have been doing them regularly for about six weeks. Hopefully this translates into faster races when those start back up again....

[quote]So 1620-1783 don’t count?[/quote] The original comment referred to slavery being a short chapter in the history of “our country.” So no, they don’t count. In the same way as the 2,000-year development of natural rights since De Re Publica is contextually relevant to the Declaration of Inde...
