Herd immunity without a vaccine is based upon the density and inter-personal contact of the population. Herd immunity in Sweden is NOT the same thing as herd immunity in NYC.

The ratio of positive tests to negative tests has barely changed since the beginning - where only the critically ill were tested, to the testing of obviously symptomatic patients, to a tiny percentage of the general population getting tested. This indicates that a FAR larger percentage of the population is…

My nephew was sent home with a 103° fever, which still claims he didn’t even notice. He’s in a rural county in Texas and has not been able to locate ANYONE who would actually test him.

There are 3 distinct goals in fighting this thing:

Hey Georgians, if you want to Liberate yourself, ignore Trump.

As a proud citizen of the great state of Texas, I happily suggest to Dan Patrick that he be sacrificed first on the altar of commerce.

If you leave the dealership even a small profit, it might be worth it to the dealership (though probably not to the salesperson). The relationship of some dealerships with their car makers sometimes relies upon how many new cars they reliably turn each month, not the value of the cars themselves. If they regularly…

I learned about fair negotiation when I was a teenager. On a school trip, I got to walk across the Laredo border into Mexico for an afternoon with a few classmates. In a little shop, a friend found a stone chess set that caught his fancy. He asked how much it was, and the owner said $12. My friend offered $5. The…

Trump is going to be held up as the textbook definition of “Narcissism” for decades.

Mark this down as a SCARY PROPHECY.

“How to Spot a Fake Coronavirus Expert”

I’m not a fan of legally classifying any crime as a “terrorist act” any more than I am of declaring one to be a “hate crime”. The acts themselves are already illegal and punishments will be agreed to by the justice system (INTENT is directly related to the intensity/scale/self-justification of the crime, and is…

But he got a really nice house out of that movie.

A very difficult book to adapt, especially if you can’t rely on the audience to handle anything that can’t be explained simply.

She’s going back to working for his wife, so we’re never going to hear her real opinion about it all.

Repeatedly, Musk has claimed that there is a substantial difference between “Dying with C19" and “Dying because of C19

Wait. Someday soon, it will be outrageously cheap and paying 1/4 [rice for it may seem to be acceptable. It’s not like Disney is going to put it “into the vault” any time soon.

30 years ago, this would have been a perfect Bruce Campbell role. Nowadays, I’m not sure who would be best for it. Reynolds has the humor, but (for me) not the voice or the look.  Good that he’s producing it, though.

No, Trump spends a week and a half arguing, first that something is ridiculous, then that it isn’t necessary, then that it’s impractical, then that it’s too expensive. Then he gives up: “Alright, we’ll do it, just shut up about it.”. THEN he claims it was his idea all along.

The sad part is that every sane step Trump is being forced to take is something he has been opposing for at least three weeks, yet he’s claiming credit for them all and people are buying it. His approval rating is almost to 50%. He’s riding a wave of popularity for finally, reluctantly, doing common-sense things that…
