    But if you know your status, and someone else does not, then for all intents and purpose they are unknowingly being put at risk by that person. The infected person knows that they are putting the uninfected at risk. What about someone with HIV, is it ok for them to have sex with someone and...

    Politicians are not generally known for their intelligence, they skew more to the touchy feels sort, and this type tends to be emotionally reactive. Of course there are exceptions to this rule, but it’s not that far off. 7 days will do nothing. It’s a knee jerk reaction. Why do people prep...

    That’s an understandable sentiment, just remember that whether you receive any benefit or not from this law, you will be expected to pay your “fair share” in taxes to repay the debt that was created to create this program. If there was a way to not pay taxes if your didn’t receive any benefit I...

    I’ve been trying to sort out this face mask thing for days. I think that masks do reduce spread, I've thought this and said it quite a bit. But on the flip side I’ve been trying to make sense what the “experts” in the government have been telling us. I think part of it is maybe how doctors...

    At some point in time people in Japan, Korea, Vietnam, etc didn’t wear masks. Now they are very common. I wonder if they will become commonplace and the US and what product opportunities there may be going foreword.

    I’ve been saying this for a month. Just watch other countries. Maslow's heirarchy is super useful in these situations. When societies are operating at high levels there is a huge difference between cultures and ways of approaching the world. When you get to level 2 - safety and level 1 -...

    Someone Needs to design a hat that projects a 6 ft radius ring around people. That flashes red if anyone violates the perimeter with big bold backup warnings on red projected on the pavement. So many opportunities when social norms are being shattered. maybe a dumb idea. Maybe a million dollar...

    Someone doing something dumb to produce a viral video to get clicks does not imply a systemic problem. I agree I would like to see manufacturing of many of these items return to the US. But this video does not even register in making an opinion or decision on that. we all have to stop reacting...

    What a great post man. That synopsis of options is spot on, I have always felt this was being applied to many things like climate change and other “issues” too. The pattern of options seems common when you have some concrete data like # of infections or temperature is rising. Then apply a...

    This is a good observation @Rivoli. This was a flaw of this study IMO. But unfortunately on the flip side there is study of ritonovir/lopinivir as a case controlled study that showed no meaningful effect. I linked to it in one of my earlier posts. Between these two studies it make HCQ seem less...

    I’ve been following this guy. There are several issues I’ve seen. One of the big ones is inclusion criteria. It appears he is treating patients based on symptoms not on covid # tests per se. in the first report of his findings, me makes several assumptions about prevalence in the population...

    Although anecdotal stories raise hope, I will await a credible study to form a concrete opinion. For the reasons I’ve stated before I would take it if/when I get sick. But I have seen far to many anecdotal things fall apart when put to the scrutiny of a good study. Fingers crossed a proper...

    Well although we all hope you are right, your analysis on this thread has historically been premature and down right wrong. Remember when you posted the graph from Italy like 2 weeks ago because there was 1 or two days of a slight drop, that then shot up and continued to go up. Several people...

    It will likely lead to some insurance companies going bankrupt, and then not being able to offer other people the protection they had actually bought. Also, losses to insurance companies leads to increased premiums to customers. Insurance pretty much is a zero sum game.

    This is all very predictable. Right now we are at Maslow level 2, people are tense but not primal. In Italy they are entering Maslow level 1, that’s when things get really risky and unpredictable, humans become primal when desperate and instinctive. I won’t post politics statements, I’m just...

    There is a game changer on the works, and it’s not a therapy. There is a test now approved arhat they are shipping supplies for that offers a 5-15 minute result. This makes a big difference for the following reason: 1) identify infected patients in isolation outside before they enter the...
