Sock account doing the sock accounts are cool thing again? Must be the Tau Neutrinos interfering with our reality again.
FYI: they’ve finally detected Tau Neutrinos in the wild.

Oh is that you Directx, Quizzy
I'm not sure who DirectX is, but I was named Quizno before I quit for many years. Renamed Quizzy when I came back.
I was one of the original members of Excellence with Stan, and Scragg was in the LS as well.
Do tell me about DirectX though, I'm curious.

No one cares.

Clearly Draylo cares... he asked.

I know who it is, why does everyone keep changing their name and deleting their accounts!?

I lost my account info... am I missing something?

They found a cure, it's called the red pill.
I love how buttblasted people got when Elon tweeted that yesterday
Went to the supermarket today, older cashier lost her latex gloves and was serving people as normal. She was all like "I better get some more before the manager sees" instead of "I need my gloves or ill die!"
The only people still scared by this nonsense are the people who never left the house.

Because they cant even take responsibility for what they say.

So, yesterday i read a blog biased against quarentine.
During the text, they pulled an info without giving source. Do you know if this number Was made up or someone actually researched this. The number said that 66% of people that contracted covid In US were suspected to contract it while at home.

When the media spins Elon in a bad light, always remind them they are being biased against a woke African American brother.

...
Do tell me about DirectX though, I'm curious. We had a bit of a British invasion. A pair of brits, both way too involved in American politics, one lefty, one righty. Both canceled eventually.
DirectX was half of it.
For details you could try backreading, but I think when they deleted their accounts all their posts poofed as well.

I have no actual counter stats though.

Isn't that like a British thing where you can demand by law that your accounts are deleted off some sites?

The number said that 66% of people that contracted covid In US were suspected to contract it while at home. Sounds like one of those I pulled that stat out of my *** statistics. I have no actual counter stats though. It's somewhat made up but based on real data. Given the specific number it's most likely referring to the survey that I believe was just for NYC area about how 66% of the people who were hospitalized (not infected) were people minding shelter in place orders.
So not exactly what was said but similar... it's also just another point of data in that direction. Like China posted data from all the outbreaks they could track starting a few weeks before they locked down and iirc it was something like 70-80% were in home and none were outdoors. Japan released something similar... with also science behind why. Mostly was touching surfaces seems to be much more likely cause of transmission than breathing aerosols so indoors in general are about 20 times more likely. Pretty sure Harvard has similar findings. Haven't really seen anything to support closing nature
But really it can mostly come down to if you are stuck in your home all day for 2 months and anyone is infected obviously yall getting it. And people still going to stores and such to pick it up

It probably came from that informal question and answer poll that NYC did for 3 days where hospitals asked patients where they think they caught it. It was hardly scientific, and in no way represents the entire country. But bloggers don't care about that stuff.

The biggest news today was some progress toward vaccine by Moderna company. The quick reading i did was that creating vaccines involves 4 steps and this one seems like sucessful in the first one, with 8 people showing resistance against covid.
As much as i hope we can get a solution, im not holding my breath on this one. A very quick research about Moderna wasnt promising with 10 years activity and not a single product released.
Either way, it doesnt seems like the final vaccine will come before 2021

There may never be one and nobody should assume so.
This is like saying you'll take a shower when you win the lottery.

I mean, its more like saying you'll take a shower when you win the lottery.
AND, you have thousands of people actively working to find a way to fix the lottery in your favor.

I believe it will.
Too much cash tossed on it (just in moderna, its was like half billion. And there are others company researching too).
Plus, there are more Interests in a vaccine Than just the solution ro pandemic.

Over half a trillion was spent on HIV/AIDS research as well for a cure. You immune to that yet? Or not enough cash tossed at it yet?

They improved the remedies though, last i saw you can basically live a normal live by using it.
Obviously there.is a conflict of interest there. They earn too much on coquetel to find a cure or vaccine and give up that much cash.
Hard to tell, too much onterests behind it, and many of them are just obscure one.

Its more likely the cause is the people being hospitalized are more likely to be at risk patients, who are more likely to shelter in place, but that doesnt help if you come in contact with someone who doesnt follow the same procedures or take the same care. You can have 30 people in an old folks home, but just takes one visitor to get them all deathly ill.
All it points to is that precautions are useless if we have some selfish people not following best practices.
So, today was the first case of the virus being confirmed in my rural county.
This last week has been pretty insane to start. Most grocery stores have been emptied, toilet paper is non existent. Bars, hotels, and casinos have been shutdown as of yesterday, our town relies heavily on these sources of income. There are now rumors that our mine sites will soon be shutdown as well. I plan to withdraw a substantial amount of cash from the bank tomorrow morning, and hit every store I can get my hands on to get some groceries before the hoarding gets any worse.
I have heard of California being on total lockdown, as well of rumors of people even being imprisoned for attempting to leave the state.
Curious to hear how other parts of the country are getting along, surprised there isn't an official Corona-Virus thread here yet.
Crazy stuff.
