Sunlight is good, and artificial interior lighting is bad for reducing the Rona
Interior ventilation may recycle airborne Rona particles, whereas outdoor air will not.
Automobile transportation reduces exposure to Rona, but mass transportation increases risk of infection.
Low density residential living provides separation, reducing likelihood of spreading Rona, yet high density urban living increases exposure.
Sounds like Progressives are killing people with their policies.

Former Vice President Joe Bidens team is speaking with former first lady Michelle Obama about winning her endorsement and having her play a role in his campaign, according to a report.
We know what pretty much everyone in America does: Michelle Obama is probably the most beloved member of the Democratic Party and her support is a big deal
And that ain't no malarky! LOL

You know, if they thought rationally for..oh, say five seconds or so,
even the Democrattyist of Democrats would be pretty sick of the whole Obama Show by now.
Obama was a lazy fuck who screwed everything up his lame ass touched, and didn't help anyone but highly connected rich leftists get richer. When he was watching ESPN, he was playing a being the World's Celebrity.
And Big Mike? When she wasn't making kid's school lunches inedible, was flying around the world on the World Longest Girl sDay Out.

I sit at my dinette table, a Have Gun -- Will Travel episode on the TV, a chubby white-and-black Siberian cat curled next to my MacBook Air, and his adopted brother the black cat sprawled on his couch. Warm and sticky outside with light on-and-off rain.
I'm using the MacBook because it just works, that's all. The new Dell laptop I cured of its wonkiness by installing a wireless mouse and deactivating the useless and unreliable touchpad. Since work paid for that one, I try to use it mostly for work.
My coffee as usual is in the Cafe du Monde cup, which holds about 1/2 cup of fluid at a time, so 6 percolator cups is only like 3 average cups. I might have a few cookies, or some 1/2 price Easter rabbit chocolate.

I need to try this. I've been going to my barber, except for my time in Denver, for more than 30 years. Last year I found a rain hat to replace his ancient one and gave it to him for Christmas. His health is not the very best, but if he can't do it, he can probably steer me to someone who can.

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you'd be cracking the skull of a cutthroat.

I didn't start drinking coffee on a regujlar basis until I was about 23. 'Struth. I'd miss it now, not least because I know I'd have caffeine-withdrawal headaches.
When I first get up I make a point of drinking a glass of cold water while the coffee brews. It eliminates the dehydration from sleeping 7 hours with no moisture coming in, and I feel better immediately.

But homeschooling while working isn't easy, either. My work day is like 16 hours long because I have to fit in my work where I can around the school duties. And at work, we've received no schedule relief on any of our intermediate hardware and software delivery milestones even though our major milestone has slipped almost a year.
Plus, I actually like my coworkers. Most of us are lifers, so I've worked with some of these guys for 10-15 years. I miss them.
And there's a big difference between hanging out in your house because you don't feel like going out, and hanging out in your house because you have to. With the schools closed through the end of the year, even if work reopens, I'll be stuck home until daycare options for 8yos open. (The 3yo is still in daycare.)
I feel like I just want to jump out of my skin.

I'm working my way through a Python class on Udemy. It's been really good so far.
One thing about Udemy. Their courses go on sale all the time. When I first looked at the Python course, it was $180. A week later it was $12. So, if there's a class that looks interesting, but is too expensive, just keep checking back. Odds are, sooner or later it will go on sale cheap.

FWIW, yeast lasts a LONG time. When you find it again buy a few jars.

The woman who cuts my hair left.....
When I lost my barber, I figured out how to cut my own hair. The trick is don't use a mirror when cutting. I sit reading comments here and pull little tufts of hair away from my head and snip them off with a sharp dedicated scissors. Takes maybe a half hour and I'll do a little more the next day if needed.
I fully expected comments about having the worst hair cut in the world. Been doing this for a year and haven't heard a single comment of any type. Maybe it's the hat.

For the inner cities, how about this?
Baltimore, D.C., Detroit, etc, spend over $25K per year total on each kid in school. The success rate of having kids that read and do math at grade level in these areas is less than 10%.
How about bulldozing all the schools in these cities and just give $25K per school aged child to the parent? The could home school and keep the money or spend all or a portion of the cash with a private educator. The only restriction is that the kid needs to pass a test each year.
If they fail (along with a retest), the money goes to a state-appointed education supervisor who finds an appropriate private educator for the kid.
Should the parent choose to home school, they keep the money as income. So, a former welfare mother with 4 kids would have an income of $100,000. She would then be obligated to pay taxes and be a productive member of society.
In this example, taxpayers are not spending one dime more than they currently are. The kid is getting an education (otherwise the money is cut off) and whatever the mother used to receive in rent assistance, food stamps and other welfare is gone.
Everyone wins.

They have placed us in an interesting box. I was surprised yesterday to be talking to a waterman I know, very conservative guy. He's out doors and on the water in the crabbing season and is tough as nails. But he's got both age (over 70) and stents as flags, and he's worried bout coming down with the Red Death.
He asked his doctor about the availability of HCQ just in case and the doctor was muttering about clinical trials and placebos. That a "doctor" would even present this as a possibility is criminal in my opinion.

At least end the whole torture/headache for those making under $70K or some such. I like everyone to have some "skin in the game". but they have been skinning the worker class for decades. Lower/middle workers support the FreeStuff Class -- And the elite class that wants their servant class to get their health care provided by Government (the working class funds it).
Then the illegal alien class and black market class are tax free PLUS get the free health care ... the "MS-13 friends of Pelosi" being the most egregious cost on society, but also the H1-Bs that bring their extended family to live on the fringes (next to VD Hanson's place, where they live carefree and immune from normal law).
The elites of WallSt sold us (especially manufacturing) out to China, but also sold out the worker domestically. So now we have the chance to remake society in the next four years ... outcome uncertain.

That only happens for 1 year. After that, if the kid doesn't pass the test, a state appointed adviser takes over and buys the kid an education with a private provider.
I tend to believe the welfare mother is going to like the money so much that she'll use a portion to put the kid into a new, private neighborhood class and then make sure the kid is at the dining room table each night studying. If the kid tries to get up from the table, I expect the mother to smack the kid upside his head.

We should declare that day America Rising Day or something suitably uplifting, patriotic, and middle-fingering to the panic merchants, eeyores, and Concerned Conservatives.
Durham and the DOJ announcing (more) conspiracy to sedition indictments that day (including sitting House and Senate members, possibly of both parties) would be a very nice touch, as would announcing that China's Most Favored Nation status is revoked, Chinese nationals in the US have their visas immediately revoked and are to be deported, and effective immediately a 100% tariff is on anything coming from China.
Announce that any Chinese, Russian or Iranian ship, boat, or aircraft which approaches within 100 meters (to be polite to the globalists) of an American warship or warplane (without the positive approval of the American) will be considered hostile and the ROE for U.S. forces will be "take any action deemed necessary by the commander on the scene to protect U.S. or allied assets, up to and including deadly force."
Any federal, state, or local official who in any way has taken any action to abridge any Bill Of Rights guarantee of any U.S. citizen gets arrested by U.S. Marshals for violation of civil rights under color of law.

It's turned out the ventilators may actually do more harm than good. 80% of the NY patients put on ventilators die. 20% ventilator survival rate.
An NYC doctor wrote an article about this, and he's one of many who are recognizing that with this WuFlu thing, it's not the same. He says that critical WuFlu patients are more like those with high-altitude sickness or CO poisoning. Their lungs can breathe well enough, it's just they can't get enough O2 into their blood.
He says the best treatment seems to be pure O2 through masks, maybe higher pressure, but not a ventilator -- that does nothing but damage their lungs.
So, irony of irony, the mad scramble for ventilators was simply the wrong thing to do.

The liberals took the responsibility away from them decades ago. Kids can't read? That's the fault of the school.
With my plan, the responsibility goes back on the parent with the incentive of a lot of money. The independent educators who go into the inner city to open classes for the kids in exchange for money will call the shots. If a kid wants to act up, the educator just kicks them out. Want to get back in to pass the test? The mother needs to sit next to the kid in class and smack him every time he mouths off.
It will take a while to sort itself out, and it won't work for every kid. However, I believe that we can raise the success rate from 10% to 90% using this method.

A trick: Open one packet and put it in a pill bottle or something similar, so you can keep it in the freezer.
The day before you want to bake, take a pinch and add it to a one quart container (like yogurt or somesuch) and one cup of water and one cup of flour, and stir and let sit somewhere for 12-24 hours so it can foam up.
add all the other ingredients to that for baking. It is like using a sourdough starter, but a little better controlled for the yeast strain. This lets you get 4 or 5 bakings out of a single envelope
This is pretty much what I do even when I buy the big vacuum packed blocks of yeast.

Someone posted something yesterday that while they are usually introverted, he found himself starting up conversations with people while he was out, just to feel more normal.
I have found myself actually talking to people more when I am out too, whereas before I would just say the bare minimum to people.
Found myself waiting outside the pizza place last week as they closed their lobby and had only curbside pickup. There was an older gentleman who was already out there waiting.
We shared some small talk for a bit while we both waited for them to bring our pizza out.
After he got his pizza and drove away, he waved to me and I waved back.
I think a lot of us, even introverts, are just desperate for any kind of in-person human contact now.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too."

US have their visas immediately revoked and are to be deported, and
effective immediately a 100% tariff is on anything coming from China."
we have to do that in due time, but we are probably still dependent on some of the supply chain we allowed them to seize over the past decades. Team Trump seemed to be moving toward decoupling from China ... the WuhanVirus may accelerate that process,and bring the free world along with us.
There will be massive disruptions ... US Gov will be picking winners and backing essential industry ... could be good or bad, certainly better that Trump is prez, but DeepState still holds a lot of power.

Yep. It's over the counter in S. Africa, too. My doc prescribed a pretty high dose of HCQ for me to take when we left S. Africa and flew to Botswana and Zimbabwe. The stuff gave me pretty bad headaches. So at the Johnannesburg airport, we went to one of the many pharmacies, and the pharmacist sold us both a milder version, called Maleron (I think). Zero side effects.
I only wish I hadn't tossed the HCQ my doc prescribed.

And, as I posted on the ONT last night, Nobel Laureate Dr. Luc Montagnier, who won the 2008 Nobel Prize in Medicine for the discovery of the HIV virus, says the WuFlu virus is indeed a genetically engineered lab creation.
He and some of his colleagues analyzed the genome, and he says it's obvious that HIV gene sequences have been spliced into this coronavirus.
His informed speculation is the Chicoms were playing around trying to create and HIV vaccine. They were messing with this coronavirus for some reason, likely trying to get it to infect human cells, carry some HIV genes, which would lead to to something that might give an HIV vaccine.
They Chicoms then accidentally leaked this tweaked Franken-virus, infected lab personnel, who go onto to spread it.

A lot of this plan is premised on a theory of mine...
I believe that the ability to teach is a god-given talent, much like the ability to sing, instead of something that can be learned like being an electrician.
Some people just have the ability to connect with kids and transfer knowledge. They see when the kid is understanding and when they aren't. I know I don't have this talent, but I recognize it when I see it in others. Just like singing, you can get a Ph.D. in music and take singing lessons for a lifetime, but if you don't have the talent, you will always suck.
That's the problem with our public school system. The teacher's union has based everything on certifications, degrees and other measurements that have nothing to do with actual teaching. You can have a teacher in a classroom that is well credentialed, but who couldn't teach a kid anything to save her life.
In my plan, mother hire teachers to get results. If the teacher doesn't produce results, they're fired. Naturally gifted educators will prosper and people who had no business in teaching will starve.
As it should be.

What a stupid waste of money. Probably "just" a couple thousand, a tiny drop in the bucket compared to the trillions we destroying. But if it has. 0.00001% chance of saving one child it must be done.

Realized last night, I had kind of wasted four weeks(? hard to tell) of vacation on just cleaning the apartment and trying not to go out of my head with boredom.
So, pulled the rowing machine out of the corner. Oiled up the chain and (after Ajax of course wanted to go out at right that minute in the rain) started rowing.
Couple observations.
One: Four weeks of relative sedentary lifestyle really kills your wind.
Two: Rowing is an odd exercise activity. Your heart rate goes up quickly, but it is not like most cardio where it feels like you are putting in a lot of effort.

Idk, I remember some talk about total beds but Italy was the entire parade of horribles and that was about, at least the narrative was that they let olds die because no ventilators.

Oh g-d yes...
There have been studies that show you can maintain 80-90% of your strength through well programmed body weight training, up to three weeks away from regular weight training.
After 4 weeks...de-training starts.
But once back to weight training, what was lost is quickly regained ( both strength and body mass ), and normal GAINZZZ are back on track.

Is R0 high or low?
How close are we to herd immunity?
Was there ever a threat of collapsing the health care system?
I can't decide about the R0 myself, it seems it could be a lot lower than we thought. And NY and NJ et al could be from their over-crowding. I don't think the serology results from Santa Clara contradict this.
A lower R0 means a lower threshold for herd immunity. But it isn't clear to me where the background of exposed ppl is at.

Jay Glazer had a great comment a week or so ago in his weekly column about how intelligent one needs to be in order to make it in the NFL:
Your other question, the biggest surprise that the average fan may not know about, is how incredibly smart you have to be to play in the NFL. There are plays that sound like foreign languages, freaking 50-syllable plays. All of a sudden, they get to the line, the quarterback yells out one word and it changes to a completely different play with 50 different syllables.
Then, on top of that, sometimes moments before the ball is snapped, they all have a "sight adjustment."
That means they don't even say anything but all 11 guys on the team recognize something that the defense is doing and they alter the play again on sight. They have to all be on the same page with that. The level of intelligence needed to excel in the league is immense.
Imagine in high school, every single week, they give you a huge new book and you have to have it completely memorized in three days. Every week you get a new one and it has to be memorized inside and out. Yeah, you have to have a totally different level of intelligence to play in the NFL. It's really hard to grasp. I hope I've done a good job explaining it.

This. We have seen reports that the WuFlu is not really a lung disease, but a blood disease.The virus gets into red blood cells, and screws up the hemoglobin to prevent uptake of oxygen. So the lungs wind up getting clogged with junk hemoglobin.
And this explains why the HCQ cocktail works. It prevents the bug from colonizing the red blood cells.
Presumably a whole-body blood transfusion would help late-stage victims who are dying on ventilators?

My next shipment was scheduled to arrive in late May, but I heard about Smithfield Foods shutting down its main plant because a bunch of their workers got the To Wong Flu, and I thought, ugh... there could be some shortages coming. So, I decided to up-size my subscription to the biggest package (thirty pounds) and bump up my schedule to every two months starting with the earliest possible date (this coming week).
I'll most likely reduce the size and frequency back to their original levels later, but I thought it'd be a good idea to have a nice big stockpile of good meat for now, just in case.

Is he really a good NFL quarterback though? Or does he rely on his skill and speed to make plays out of nothing when his first read is not there?
How difficult of an offense is he really running? BAL is a run-first offense where they do well when playing from ahead and can dictate the game flow.
But if they fall behind and Jackson is forced to actually try to bring the team back and not rely on the run game, he's not as good.
So time will tell with Jackson. If he is forced to be a true pocket passer, he may be exposed.

I honestly don't know. I don't watch the NFL at all.
I do know in the offense focused modern game I'd rather have someone with a lot of natural talent that can make things happen when a play breaks down over a good game manager.

Without him to turn that season around for the Broncos and show that they could, in fact, be winners, there's no way Peyton Manning would've signed with them the next season. They would've just continued to suck balls.
Tebow's numbers may not have been good, but he had a whole lot of intangibles working for him. He really did do great things for the Broncos.

I would rather have the game manager. If by game manager, you're meaning a pocket passer.
Typically, the QBs who have the skill to run will rely too much on that. And do not spend enough time developing their "game manager" skills. i.e. reading defenses, changing plays, understanding hot routes, understanding where to go when the first and second read are not available, etc.
Colin Kaepernick was exposed as a bad QB when opposing defenses took away his running and scrambling part of his game and forced him to be a pocket passer. He was not good at reading defenses or doing much beyond his first read. He also did not have a very accurate arm.
When I think good game managers / pocket passer, I think of Peyton, Brady and Brees. These guys are masters at reading defenses, having the skill to hit the receivers they want to hit and being able to manage the pocket (i.e. just move enough to extend a play to make a pass.).
So yeah, I think the jury is still out on Jackson. He has the skill to succeed in a certain offense and with the game flow going a certain way. But obviously so far, teams have found ways to shut him down in the playoffs.
But if he can develop the game manager skills I mentioned, those combined with his amazing athletic skill would be an amazing combination. And the sky would be the limit for him.
