But what about the bacon?Unless you're in my camp. Then we can do s'mores and singalongs and tell ghost stories and do peach Schnapps shots until one of us passes out.
Reminds me of a joke. The punchline is, "Wear whatever you want, it'll just be the 2 of us."
Last facility closed so I'm officially beached for a few weeks. Will see what comes next, but I can say that the wife is much happier that I'm home for a while. I don't understand all this "flatten the curve" stuff, how can you get relevant numbers with such limited data and no solid info about how long the virus lasts outside a human host? Seems to me that after a few weeks indoors we will just be resetting the clock to where we were in January.

"Mr P made it. The family brought him home yesterday evening. To teach us that even at 101 years the future is not written,"

We need to take this guy and the 90 year old great-great grandmother apart and see what they're made of.
Here is my clue as to where to find the most cases of pooh's breath:
Has anyone heard anymore news about the trials that were supposed to start Tuesday (with regards to this chloroquine drug)?
I get why we wouldn't want people hoarding it. I get why we wouldn't want people prescribing it if it was proven to be dangerous or maybe even if it was ineffective. But if I had this illness and I was in bad shape, until I hear to the contrary, I'd want to try it and wouldn't want a governor stopping me.

There is widespread self-prescribing of plaquenil among doctors, such that various states are trying to ban the practice.
They say there is no evidence that it is effective, and it is taking vital supplies away from patients with RA and Lupus.
They are correct–the evidence for hydroxychloroquine is weak, because we are just beginning to study it.
But, what are the odds that it works?
I love to look at markets to trying [sic] and deduce people’s opinions from their behavior.
Plenty of people are trash talking Plaquenil right now. But thousands of doctors are prescribing it for themselves and their families.
That’s a whole lot of people rushing to put their money, their health and their medical licenses (they can be disciplined for this in many states) on the line in a bet that Plaquenil works.
If there were a betting market on Plaquenil’s efficacy, what do you think the odds would be? The people who are most informed are buying it in such quantities that it is threatening supply. That’s a vote of confidence from people with skin in the game and suggests a high probability of upcoming study results being positive.
Without quoting several of the sudden, awful death stories, I had a question. Why is it that 98% recover, and a handful (even younger people) come in to the ED and are apparently dying in hours?
I’m in the middle with this. It’s worse than an average flu season, but it’s not apocalyptic. I trust folks like HoosierDoc and appreciate his input. I also think a couple people are so heavily-invested in their own predictions that they won’t even listen to the possibility of positive news. I think that’s a problem.
