Although I still look at them, I'm desensitized with individual graphs and statistics.  The back and forth distorted my view.  The only info that interest me today is if for some inadvertent reason FOX, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, etc, link satellites and transmit the same news at the same time.  For example, cases are increasing.  Then, that's probably believable.   

It is expected that the cases are increasing.  Mainly because in the last few weeks we went from testing 100,000 people in America per day to 600,000 thousand people in America per day.  We are more quickly gaining a picture of how widespread this already was.

I heard an interesting stat this morning. It’s general knowledge the deaths are degreasing as time passes. Interesting though the state with the most deaths are states that are still shut down. Texas and Florida are among the lowest. Texas is under 100 per million. The younger less at risk people may be increasing herd immunity while the older population is protecting themselves.

Almost everything I read seems to preface every statement with "due to inaccurate or due to gaps in reporting or...." and then continues to argue their case, whatever their case may be on the very thing they admit or have reason to believe is inaccurate. 

 

My eye witness didn't actually see this guy kill this other fella but base on this eye witness testimony he did it. 

Or didn't do it depending on which turn is expected.

 

This whole thing is like a murder trial without a body. 

 

It seems unlikely to me that a society that can track down a mad cow to the the very stall in was born in anywhere in the

world  is unable to decide the cause of death of a COVID-19 patient. 

 

I heard in a pod cast this or that. This is now proof of anything? I heard it in a pod cast? 

 

Better! Claiming the CDC numbers are wrong......until those numbers support an argument then there good to go.

 

My favorite is the best minds in the world haven't got a handle on this but a few guys in a forum do.

 

Are we missing the obvious? If the best minds have no agreement then there isn't any actual knowledge.

No one has anything 'figured out'

 

All this is just noise

Although new in it's execution, this is still a virus and it's probably safe to say a person will get it through smell or touch.  Contrary to your message, everyone has it figured it out.  Mask, distance, and hand washing.

 

Basic concept for a virus as told to me from someone born in the 1930s.  Wasn't a whole lot of medicine back then; castor oil, goody's powder, chicken noodle soup, wash your hands, cover your mouth, stay in your room, and get plenty of rest.  I was back playing street football in short order.

I visit older than me outside. My grandkids visit me outside. I still go out to eat. Face cover, hand sanitizer, check. Precautions taken. The younger less patient take more chances and are less likely to die. I look at them as warriors for herd immunity. I don’t go around them. I don’t go where they go naturally anytime. Bug or not. Like a cold I figure more likely than not I’ll get it. There’re many things out there that can kill me. I don’t sit around and shake in fear about it. I take precautions. Hopefully if or when they’ll be mitigated medications for it. A cure? I doubt it. Mutations will probably take care of that. The malaria drug is front and center as a mitigator if taken early, imagine that.

That's been disproven.

The studies were bs and thrown out stating it was ineffective. Now they’re saying hydrochloroquin helps last I read.

I’ve asked my doctor if I get the bug can I take the drug. He reply was yes. It’s nice to live in a state that political bias doesn’t effect medical care.

HCQ in conjunction with zinc is what kills the virus.  Hydroxychloroquine opens up the cell and allows the zinc to enter which does the killing.  Put it another way, HCQ is the gun and zinc is the bullet.

 

HCQ by itself does little or nothing.  HCQ with Azithromycin (Z-Pack) or Doxycycline does little or nothing.  You gotta have the zinc.

 

And high dosages are not required either.  Standard zinc pills that you buy at Walmart is all that's needed.  Standard Z-Pack and those 200 milligram pills of Plaquenil that that cost about  a dime each.  The entire 5-day regimine costs less than $20.

 

The VA Study and others basically killed their patients by administering lethal doses in their studies with no background as to why the dosages needed to be so high.  Don't hold your breath on criminal charges against those cretins.

I generally find family doctors to be apolitical with matters pertaining to my health.  I also find they are generally willing to write a prescription upon request for a specific drug if I feel one is needed.  As long as he/she sees no harm, such as conflicts with other medication, my requests are supported. (As an aside, I ask these questions in an effort to minimize the use of drugs.  I will not take a drug that is unproven or I suspect is prescribed on the basis of it "won't hurt.")  I believe the "malaria drug" was/is highly politicized and you know I try to avoid the political banter. However, I am curious as to what your doctor said about the actual efficacy of this drug in treating this particular virus.

I take zinc every day. I’ve taken the malaria drug when going over seas. I suspect lots of doctors take the combo as a preventative. Some have said as much.

    • So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it. 
    • New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.  
    • Sounds like a smart reasonable person with common sense. Bill O’Riley never said he was just a journalist, by the way.
