It's my understanding that the "fast-tracking" of the vaccines is by eliminating the wait between the testing stages

 

For example, going to stage 2 testing straight after stage 1, instead of spending a bunch of time evaluating the results of stage 1 to see if they should move on to stage 2 (but still doing the evaluation, and then stopping stage 2 if the evaluation is negative).  And starting production of the vaccine before the testing and approval is done, knowing that if the testing fails or the approval isn't given, they have to destroy the vaccine they've produced.  It's spending money to save time, but they aren't skipping the actual testing, and they have to go over the results of the testing at the end and get approval before they can being distributing the vaccine.

Got it.

I’m wondering. Remember H1-N1? Mass hysteria? Stock Market going crazy? Who’s going to make money? Who’s pushing the most hysteria?

I work in a gov't office in a secret underground undisclosed location, as they say.  No, really.  We received a briefing from an epidemiologist in Washington State.  He said that if you put someone in

Someone said hydroxychloroquine isn’t effective. From all the reading and watching I’ve seen. It’s seems to be as effective as a flu shot, 30-50 percent according to the studies I’ve seen. Some posted here. The trick is when you take it and what combination. People get a flu shot every year. So for the people with an agenda, don’t take it.

The last one that came through was with the prior administration. Older people had herd immunity, it wasn’t new. It was scary at first. No lock downs not much was done. The young got herd immunity quickly it faded. The difference was who was president and who backed him. The news media. This is worse no doubt. But the hysteria is whipped up for obvious reasons.

That's the problem.  Doctors are fact-based, and Trump is twitter-based.  Everyone knows twitter is the best source of knowledge, particularly for new diseases.

Ah a guy who commonly uses common sense. 

 

When I read a twitty quote meant to harm someones reputation I think of James 3:5

 

 

So, too, the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it makes great brags. See how small a fire it takes to set a great forest ablaze!

Tell me, what part of Twitter told Trump about HCQ? Just wondering since it’s chocked full of lefties without medical degrees who have been actively removing anyone who advocates it’s use. Including yes, many many doctors. 
 

Interesting how so-called “non-political” people fall all over themselves whenever someone makes an (inaccurate) political statement about Trump.

Let’s not forget, China lied to us. The Who covered it up. Bill gates wants a vaccine. Dr fauci works for/with Bill Gates. Chinese app spies on us. Microsoft(Bill Gates) wants to buy said app. Bill Gates linked to Epstein. It’s all circular. Biden, pelosi, Kerry etc linked to China and Ukraine. List goes on. You could keep your blinders on.

Btw, found this hysterical:

All my southern covid dashboards are trending down. Just in time for my August trip East. Some rapidly so. Myrtle beach had a very good June. Not so since. The scuttlebutt from people I talk to in the area is. The northerners brought it down. Infected the area. Then blame Myrtle beach for sending it back north. Typical.

I see Mercury News reporting: Coronavirus: ‘Discrepancies’ in California’s case data cast doubt as deaths continue to rise

 

Funny how one little place on earth is pushing the world numbers quickly towards 20 million cases isn't it?

NY will drive the numbers back down. :) 

 

C'mon man that was funny. 

 

All the spinning make a guy dizzy and yet the numbers still climb. Guess BS has little effect on this virus. :crackup:

It’s seems strange that one of the most lock down states can’t seem to get their act together. Just by the shear numbers of people fleeing the state their numbers should be declining. The fact is the numbers are declining. But is true if there’s one positive case the positive cases rise. Some people just can’t handle good news. Just have to be negative downers. The truth is from now and for evermore there will be a rise in positive cases, that’s a fact.

We had two days in a row under 50k new “cases”...yesterday was slightly over...51k I think. Either way, July was around 60k per day so it looks like we are heading in the right direction in a general sense. Certainly hard to make a case to lockdown even further under these conditions...we see how well that method works anyway. 


Hospitalizations continue to drop, and in my opinion that’s the most reliable and important statistic. The rest is noise. As Karnut says, only one direction the positive test count can go.

 

“As deaths continue to rise” is another one. We could get to the point where one person a week dies of (or with) Covid-19 50 years from now and that statement would technically be accurate.

They have been talking locally about the numbers count in Ca for a few days now, the count has been frozen until they can get it right.

 

As for the checkpoints in NYC, we mentioned this a number of pages back.  If this checkpoint is on a road or major highway, this will be very manpower intensive if a 24/7 operation.  If not 24/7, why do it?

It’s posturing, that’s why. Crime is becoming a big problem in the city...so let’s divert resources into something that’s not a problem? 


Then again, it may not take many resources to monitor people going into NYC...can’t imagine many people are interested in that trip.

It’s absolutely impossible to have check points for this. It would be useless. Have you ever been on a road in nyc and not seen an out of state plate? Lived in worked all my life in ny. It can’t happen. And can’t is usually not in my vocabulary.

      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.

      How to Tune 6L80 Silverado transmission

      By ballencd · Posted

      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.
