Asshole--(not you Thes)--Rama 😏

I have been reading and researching on the reliability of the models pertaining to Covid19. There are 5 different models with 5 far different analysis. The USA relies mostly on Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, the IHME model. It is the most conservative of the models in its current projections. Most of the epidemiologists agree that none of the models projections can be accurately relied upon, because of the data that is being used and the lack of knowledge relating to this virus. But unfortunately, governments have to rely on something to determine a course of action. Courtesy of the Guardian: The Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation in Seattle, based at the University of Washington, is the best organisation in the world at collecting data on diseases and mapping out why we fall ill. Its Global Burden of Disease study is a massive collaborative effort that is valued and used in every country. But even for such an organisation, predicting what will happen to us all as a result of Covid-19 is a tricky business. This is a different type of model from that of the Imperial College London group advising the government, because it will constantly evolve. But even the Imperial modellers had to change their predictions some weeks ago. Famously, their changed advice persuaded the government to bring in physical distancing guidance, with towns closed for business and people staying home to reduce what, it had suddenly become apparent, would be an unacceptably high death toll. Models are only as good as the data that goes into them. As time goes on, we will learn a lot more about the outcomes of this pandemic in countries around the world and the effectiveness of policies in mitigating the worst outcomes.

Now they are all by the window and cannot see them. I have sent 2 emails to RLC to please adjust either cam1 or cam2 to cover that blind spot, but as usual they really do not care---have not even had the courtesy of them replying to my email RLC--fix the damn cameras

They are back and the girls are getting affectionate with each other

here is another I used to watch all the time

Amy--should we now call you Elodie or Ms Yung? 😏

California lawmakers press governor for details on $1B mask deal THEHILL.COM Several California lawmakers are pressing Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) for details on the nearly $1 billion deal for the state to receive medical masks. Governor refuses to release details on $1 billion deal to buy masks for California KMPH.COM Governor Gavin Newsom admits, California is in desperate need of masks and other protective gear to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Desperate enough, to spend $1 billion on a contract with Chinese-based firm BYD--... California Gov. Newsom won't share details on $1B mask deal with China NYPOST.COM California Gov. Gavin Newsom is facing pushback as state lawmakers have begun demanding details of his nearly $1 billion deal to receive 200 million masks per month from a Chinese manufacturer. Just Maybe this is why Newsom wants to keep the shutdown going in California until we get 60,000 tests per day he insists upon. Cover up this possible corruption of mask buying that we may not need if California if allowed to restart business and we get back to our lives. However, if he keeps California in lock down--he can provide the 200 million masks to the homeless people that he will create in this state.

Chat continues April 26, 2020

Not so much hypothetical, but unfortunately, more realistically stupid. 😏

Enough, lets BUTTON this up, before we get on someone's nerves and have to PATCH things up.

No more, I tried MENDING a thread that was NEEDLING me, but it still keeps FRAYING, so I just gave up. 😏

Then maybe try sewing 😄

I hate that, cause the damn thing always breaks off when you try and use it 😏

We really need at least one debate between Trump and Biden (assuming he is going to get the Democratic nomination). But we have to make sure that Biden does not get to wear an earpiece so Jill can coax him and remind him what to say 😏

Here in So California the highest uv index for April 25 will be 9.9-that is high enough to kill all of the coronavirus pathogens in the air. 😏 (unless it decides to Wear SPF 30+ sunscreen, a shirt, sunglasses, and a hat.)

OK I fucking give up---seems that no one can keep all of the politics out of this thread that have nothing to do with the Covid virus. Post away about anything and anything you all want---seems rules, guidelines, and thread topics mean nothing. I no longer care.

We have/had a restaurant called The Hat and it had the best ever pastrami sandwiches Sorry this is not a B-1 topic.

would you please quote his post and then reply in the proper thread please????

damn that looks good---I could lick the hell out of that 😏

I see the guy , but he has his clothes on so can't really tell if it is hard. 😏

no you were talking politics that had nothing to do with the virus--along with 2 others that should know better 😒

Let us just hope that the virus doesn't last that long ---😏

It is OK now the thread has been renamed and anything relating to Covid19 is allowed including stupid remarks regarding it's cure by anyone.

Honestly, I think that is just his friends--I don't think he is that crazy😆 But then again, I am not always right 😏

What you have to realize is that we only had and now have only 2 choices for President of the USA---the people made a decision to elect Trump and overall he has done a good job for America. In the upcoming election, we really do not have at this point in time too many choices--it is either Trump ( who is constantly saying or tweeting stupid stuff) or Biden (who unfortunately I believe is becoming senile)
