Flying. Packed in an airplane. Planes are still flying. Apparently, if I read this right, some airlines are leaving the center seat open. So at least you'll be two feet away from your neighbor. "American will also block 50% of all middle seats and all seats adjacent to Flight Attendant jump seats on every flight." http://news.aa.com/news/news-details/2020/American-Airlines-Adjusts-Food-and-Lounge-Service-in-Response-to-COVID-19-OPS-DIS-03/?c=EML|AADV|20200325|ADV|MKT|SOLO||Video_FB

Here we go. Trump will be classifying states by risk factor,. So if you get defined as high risk just jump in your car and head out to a place where you can party freely.

There is actually some good information in that first Science article. You should just use your expertise to extract and interpret the data (edit - with the reasoning behind the interpretation. Not just opinion form), if you want to add something to this thread. The people at Johns Hopkins would be considered experts also, they produced the plot of confirmed cases. If you have a problem with the plot, send them a message. Your credentials should carry some weight. It would be a lot more useful than piddling around in this thread. At least for an expert NASA consultant. Here's the email for the Johns Hopkins guy. I actually sent him a message in the early days suggesting the per capita data would be more informative than what he was showing. No reply. Maybe you'll have better luck. https://systems.jhu.edu/research/public-health/ncov/

It it a mechanical pump or electric at the tank. One pulls and one pushes. Could tel you something.

So, where did "easily 5X" come from? I have my own area of expertise. It leads to questions like the one I've asked. One of the problems with being smart is that people start to believe that everything that they think is correct. They don't get questioned because they are known as "experts". "He must know what he is talking about, he's an expert". So, they get a little bit lazy. In my field you have to show the math and the sources. Otherwise it's just an opinion. And everybody has one of those.

Who? The Who? The Guess Who? Need to know. Might be more important than the deck itself.

It shows the trend. Trends are actually more informative than single point data )my opinion). Not sure why what you said before is more important than what other people have to say. Yours is just one more opinion. Glad to have them but no need to try to assert superiority. Don't know your background or why you would know more than anyone else. You're just another guy on the internet. How did you come up with "easily 5X"? Citations, please. p.s. don't overlook the concept of "sampling". Surveys never get all of the data. They sample representative populations and project out. Producing estimates and showing trends. Which can be useful in understanding a problem.

That's a good point. Deaths need to catch up. Many have been expecting the death rate to drop as more testing was done. The global data includes Italy and Spain though and they probably have very little testing, just sick people at the hospitals. But that implies that the actual numbers of infected are much higher. The curve seems to be getting worse, however it's viewed though. Don't see any flattening.

@Mike Or anyone that is IT savvy. Can you do anything with the free data? Might be a side-project for you. Maybe even a different web site. The Financial Times took the data and extracted country by country data. But they have a paywall so it's not available for viewing. Of course, here in North America, it would be nice to drill down to counties, provinces and states. Just a thought. Here's a link - https://systems.jhu.edu/research/public-health/ncov/ https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19

Don't really know what to think of this. If more testing is supposed to lower the death rate by ID'ing more people that weren't hospitalized, why is the death rate at 4.5% now. It sat at 3.4% for quite a while (I was doing the math). 22,295 deaths / 492,503 confirmed = 0.0452 as of this posting.

These are extraordinary times. I hope that Mike will make an exception. I don't see that anyone is getting personal, which is the main reason that anyone avoids political discussion. I've enjoyed the thread and think that we're all learning here. And, just like other threads, there's the Ignore button. Or, just don't click. We're all adults and should be able to control our impulses.

Governor Cuomo is on TV now. Want a contrast with the other guy? He's worth watching.

Is that water jet cut? Don't forget to mark the "up" side.

Another White House virus briefing coming up soon. I'm betting that Trump will call it the Wu Tang virus. Diversify your bonds... People in the room now. Any minute. It's on... The usual rambling. Nothing new. The campaign speech will start soon. Not worth watching anymore.

They changed their minds. It wasn't really that promising anyway and the PR look was terrible. But the urge was till there for them. Make that money, any way possible. https://theintercept.com/2020/03/25/gilead-sciences-coronavirus-drug/

Morgues in NYC getting full. I'm not sure how the comparison to the common flu fits in here. Maybe it's the time factor. I've never heard of morgues filling because of the common flu. Maybe they do, but it's normal. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/25/dhs-briefing-nyc-morgues-near-capacity-148259

You should start a thread about your project. If you go with the original setup you;ll need to use almost exactly original parts. No simple way to tune the 1983 Nissan system. You'll get exactly what Nissan was getting in 1983. @cgsheen1 has worked with the original and Megasquirt and usually has something to say.

Sophisticated Trumpism. "Wuhan" virus instead of "Chinese" virus. Like wearing silk white sheets instead of cotton. He was first in his class at West Point, of course, so he can't just use the simple term. From The Guardian. " 13:08 Julian Borger The US secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, has been giving a briefing on the virtual G7 foreign ministers meeting that began by videoconference at 7am (ET). He said the main focus was the coronavirus, which Pompeo made a point of calling the “Wuhan virus”. According to a report in Der Spiegel, the G7 ministers have not so far been able to agree on a joint statement because of Pompeo’s insistence that it should refer to the disease as the “Wuhan virus”, a suggestion that was rejected by other members of the group of prosperous democracies.

I keep finding stuff. This one even has some China in it. Bible study for Trump's cabinet. It's a scary read. Remember Pompeo and The Rapture. https://theintercept.com/2020/03/24/trump-cabinet-bible-studies-coronavirus/ The Drollinger-led Bible study meets every Wednesday morning with members of Trump’s cabinet, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, and Health Secretary Alex Azar.

A story from my old hooning grounds, from way back. It's just normal country people down there. Basically a suburb of Portland Oregon. https://katu.com/news/local/its-heartbreaking-husband-wife-die-within-hours-of-eachother-after-covid-19-diagnosis

I don't find anything. You mean your city? Not the state.

The briefing is on. Trump is quoting numbers from a piece of paper. Now he's bragging about how the threats are all that is needed to get companies to supply materials. Kind of gangster. It's classic. Must-watch. Fauci is back, peeking over Trump's shoulder. He's using Fauci as leverage to keep people watching, while he gives a campaign speech. Genius! Larry Kudlow! Anyone who has watched the financial channels knows what a BS'er he is. Here comes more... Trump is "Trump-blocking" the doctors. Won't let them answer medical questions. Over. Nothing new. Wait...
