I think we should promote a rock fight between PRCD and Havoc where they are judged on both accuracy in both marksmanship and plotting the area under the parabolic path.The advanced mathematicians are all crazed lunatics on the verge of sending bombs in the mail anyways. You're better off. Just pray that PRCD doesn't have your home mailing address.
Brilliant!I think we should promote a rock fight between PRCD and Havoc where they are judged on both accuracy in both marksmanship and plotting the area under the parabolic path.
Then we all drink.
What kind of curve do you want me to fit? Linear, Exponential or (hopefully) Gaussian? Scientists have no monopoly on extrapolating data.Here's where she got the plot. The data is yesterday's. It's not even averaged over a week:

United States Coronavirus update with statistics and graphs: total and new cases, deaths per day, mortality and recovery rates, current active cases, recoveries, trends and timeline.www.worldometers.info
Gee, is there an effort to spread panic and lie with statistics?
Given the topic at hand I'd love to see linear with slope = 0.What kind of curve do you want me to fit? Linear, Exponential or (hopefully) Gaussian? Scientists have no monopoly on extrapolating data.
Logistical for the total cases.What kind of curve do you want me to fit? Linear, Exponential or (hopefully) Gaussian? Scientists have no monopoly on extrapolating data.
Yup, got my quarantine beard going.Who else is using this time in isolation as the ideal time to get that beard you always wanted to try out, but you never quite managed to push past the awkward stage?
I don't think the debate is whether its a big deal or not, but rather "how big of a deal is it?"It blows me away anybody is still arguing about whether or not this is a big deal.
Even if we don't care about those people dying, those fuckers are going to choke up the health care system for those who don't fall prey to the virus.It blows me away anybody is still arguing about whether or not this is a big deal.
Average suicides in the US per day - about 100
Average auto crashes per day - close to that
Average gun deaths - also close to that
None of those things are going to stop. They are what we already live with. We are just going to pile on oh I don't know, 400-500 more from this, with social distancing, and quarantines in place. Without that, potentially 3,000 deaths a day? These are the rough numbers the administration and its science and healthcare consultants are saying. In a Republican, very business friendly administration that in normal times is willing to rim job the Chamber of Commerce for free.
It's a big fucking deal.
I definitely think this is how world leaders and congressmen need to start settling their differences. We cracked down on dueling after Aaron Burr shot Alexander Hamilton, but maybe it's time to dust this idea off again.I think we should promote a rock fight between PRCD and Havoc where they are judged on both accuracy in both marksmanship and plotting the area under the parabolic path.

Especially if it went something like this:I definitely think this is how world leaders and congressmen need to start settling their differences. We cracked down on dueling after Aaron Burr shot Alexander Hamilton, but maybe it's time to dust this idea off again.
Is the French guy in WW an AI of the giant ball AI?Especially if it went something like this:
You don't need ER for broken arm. For as great as this country is, we sure aren't good at thinking outside the box.Even if we don't care about those people dying, those fuckers are going to choke up the health care system for those who don't fall prey to the virus.
I was skating in the back alley last night drunk.
What if I broke my arm?
400 deaths a day in the U.S. (on the low end) from a single, brand new, unforeseen cause, is MASSIVE deal. How does anyone not see this?I don't think the debate is whether its a big deal or not, but rather "how big of a deal is it?"
The full PPE that we have a massive shortage of, even for our health care workers?They get delivered by a driver in full PPE and all goods get run through a UV light for disinfection.
I'd say that it is very likely that covid was in the country by early February, but because we weren't testing for it, there is no sure way to know. And I would expect it to behave like the flu per your chart. Given that this has been a warm winter in much of the country, I would expect that it will start subsiding fairly quickly, particularly with all of the social distancing in play now.Casa,
Did you see patients like this in January and February? I think it's implausible that we're just seeing this in our country now. I had symptoms in February as did many people I've talked to. Doctors have said this has been a bad year for the flu and RSV which have overlapping symptoms with COVID. What are the odds that COVID has been going around long before we started testing for it?
EDIT: See this CDC chart showing a normal flu season. I would think COVID would follow the same pattern unless there is strong evidence to suggest otherwise:
