Corona Virus # 3

[dragoneggs]

Yep!!!! My wife and I race our basically stock vehicles at the local 1/8 mile track. Somehow she cheats and beats my reaction times...…

Either you are a gentleman or you are taking the whole,'you can't beat your wife' thing a little too far.

So..., someone makes a wild as guess and points their thumb in the air and says, they think 1% of the population has it............ fear selling news outlets sell a 100,000 Ohio residents have the virus!!! And a poster here parrots the misleading statistic.

Are we not tough strong Americans anymore?
Do we get political credit for being the first to sensationalize bad news?

Her calling Ohio a "community" is a stretch. Logically if an area the size of Ohio is a "community" then why can't we call the whole USA a "community"? So 329,000,000 X .01 = 3,290,000 have the virus? Perhaps some day that will happen but at this point in time that is ludicrous IMO!

One of our daughters commutes from her home in Maryland to an office in downtown Washington DC. Via Metro. Always a high risk for infectious disease, lots of people and close quarters and different every day. Her company told everyone today to start working from home immediately. They travel globally, so their laptops are set up to be part of the office network no matter where they are. Easy for them to do. Not easy for a whole bunch of people with different jobs though.

Grand Prix is on here this weekend, maybe!!!!, McLaren have just pulled out and we have abducted Tom Hanks who is being held captive with his wife in a Gold Coast hospital after testing positive.

Tom will make a spear and eat raw fish (Castaway) so I'm not worried about him!!!!

These days about the only schools that don't have some sort of online classrooms are the really backwards ones with no technology departments...

Dial in networks have been around since the late 80's and available to anyone with a hard wire modem...didn't matter where...the technology is not new...

Advancements in video tech have made it possible to view lectures on demand...so it's even easier than reading transcripts...

While connectivity is not a new idea, you have to have the course material on-line before anyone can even attempt to access them. That's the bottleneck, not the technology to do it.

If you can't hit 300mph in less than a quarter mile, you're just out for a Sunday drive :wink:

Maybe John Force can save us all. :laughing:

Which daughter?

... took a selfie saying loving my job and a computer screen was up in the background and blown up a patient name could be read... one strike and out.

...

Totally plausible information from a test being delayed...

Are you saying she took the photo to illustrate the delay in testing?

 

[Jchonline]

Informative video. Look up his credentials beforehand.

Or his daughter.

Which daughter?

All his daughters !

Maybe we won't all die from this virus, you think? Texas-based company has reportedly created a coronavirus vaccine

Just read an article in the local paper about the FDA coming down hard on companies claiming to have a vaccine and selling it. There is no vaccine yet.

Companies cited.
The seven companies cited by the FTC are: Vital Silver, Aromatherapy Ltd., N-ergetics, GuruNanda LLC, Vivify Holistic Clinic, Herbal Amy LLC, and The Jim Bakker Show.

Greffex Inc., from D2Cat's post - the one from Texas, is not on the list.

Stores are restocked after last weekend only, hand sanitizer is still sold out.
OK were TP, paper towels, beans, rice, water, canned goods. Only 2 people had mask but that is about the norm with the pollen here.

My buddy who lives in Wichita was flying home to Seattle via Denver today with his daughter to visit family. He has been contemplating whether to come here for a couple weeks now. They got to Denver and while waiting for the connecting flight and watching the news, he decided to turn around and go back to Wichita! March Madness?
