The only reason that FDR got 4 terms in a row is because of The Great Depression and then WWII. People tend to vote for "continuity" during a crisis, not wanting to gamble on some new fool right at the moment when stability is needed.

I had a Chinese guy for differential equations. I couldn't understand a word he said, except for "all possible sorutions."

After that, he'd mutter to himself into the board in Chinglish while he wrote furiously. Then he'd wind up by concluding he'd found "all possible sorutions."

That's pretty much what I took away from his lectures.

Would it be asking too much to have someone teaching this stuff to speak comprehensible English?

My sympathies; a friend had an unintelligible Chinese teacher for HS algebra.

Also, it's a way for the Chinese to keep out the competition from non-Chinese in statistics (an area they are way over-represented).

41 Good, talking about the tings that we are going to do to get this nation on the path of recovery. This is the FDR part that Trump is good at, the cheerleader "Win the War" stuff that we are going to need for when this is over. Because when this is over we are going to have gun-shy people and that is exactly the wrong thing - we need people willing to take further riusks to get things moving again.

My 2 cents.

My mother's best friend back in the day was a woman who worked at a major university teaching "English for Engineering and Math Faculty" classes at a world-famous university. Well over half of faculty were not native English speakers (mostly Asian). And this was decades ago. The problem has been known for a while, but it's still difficult to address, because the Universities was "top talent" and don't give a hoot about English language skills. Most did TERRIBLE at the class, but were never fired.

Gawd I would hope so, but I see such a passionate, relentless, and single minded effort to distort recent events and twist words and biased news reports in ways to blame Trump for every sneeze and cough any where in the world that I really do wonder.

Never have I been so close to losing my religion and going full UniBomber than when I read the crap that supposedly sentient adults are posting on things like Twitter and realize that a large population id nipple heads believe that shit.

Generally I am ag ainst having any government of a free society go after any group for political reasons, which is just one of the many reasons I despise Democrats, but I am seriously wondering how we can stop this usurpation of liberty without a full investigation into who is funding these purveyors of lies.

Q: Do you think we would have prevailed in WWII is we had allowed, and even protected and funded, the propaganda arms of the enemy here at home?

192 When I was a TA at a large university, I was one of three Americans. Th other 10 were split between Indian and Chinese.

The course was required for a BS and 90% of the students were American. I gave lectures and worked problems on the board in a large lecture hall.

I typically had 100 or more students attending even though there were about 30 or so actually registered.

The students used to jam my class because they couldn't understand the other TAs who spoke very poor English with huge accents.

The university actually dragged it's feet when it came time to give me a Reserch project for my PhD because there was such a problem with the students ratings of the other TAs. I was too "valuable" to the department as a teacher to move to the labs. Sucked.

2) Not cracking down on the commies is how we spent decades in a balance of nuclear terror, and only escaped because of Ronald Reagan, the proto-Trump.

I'm sure people will come up with reasons to not nationalize the media companies and arrest their thieving, raping Cainite executives, but that's only going to result in a nastier response when things finally get to that point. French politics give you an idea of where such things will be headed.

295 Here's tip that I'm sharing online only because I have lots of TP: check gas stations with small grocery areas. I was in one yesterday and checked out of curiosity. They had plenty of TP stocked on the shelves - because under normal circumstances nobody thinks to buy TP when they're filling up their cars. Of course, I'm sure you'll pay more for it there because buying grocery items at a gas station is always more expensive. But hey, that's better than driving to 3 or 4 supermarkets and finding no TP there.

My wife's theory is that since everyone is now working from home or otherwise not going in to work, they're now doing all their business at home and depleting the home stock, instead of their usual habit of taking an extra break or two at work in the bathroom.

I wonder how the institutional stocks of TP are doing.

Re: TP

Read an interesting article today (will try to find link later) that basically explains that this is a supply chain issue, not a production/hoarding one. That is, there are *two* different production and distribution channels: retail and commercial, which have historically been very stable. There is apparently very little overlap, so when the retail supply got overrun (since folks are at home, not using the facilities at restaurants, stores, etc) there's an oversupply of commercial, and no easy way to swap things out.

Paper products have one of the steadiest demand curves in all of industry. There's very little spare production capacity, and no real way of converting other production facilities.

Worse, people aren't suddenly using more toilet paper than before. They just stockpiling. That's the real absurd part of the situation.

Absolutely for in-demand items that need to be replenished. I question price rises on items that have obviously been sitting in the warehouse for the past 5 months.

On the flip side, I stand poised to take advantage of the sales when some retailers decide they need to keep the lights on.

I was looking for a new (used) car, and monitoring the prices since last fall. I figured I'd wait for the end of summer, when prices typically drop, and they get lots of lease returns. I'm starting to see some relative bargains in new inventory.

Went to Walmart to get some food. I haven't seen TP there in at least 3 weeks so I stopped even checking. Walking through the store, passing the empty TP shelves, suddenly a pallet full of TP rolled by and the employee asked me if I wanted any. I was not expecting TP so it didn't even register what he had and I just said "no thanks" and kept walking. A couple minutes later I finally "got it" and ran back, snagging a pack just before the piranahs finished it.

Sure, but they act like the models are the only thing to consider, even with all the unknown variables. And models that consume everyone's lifestyle and choices should include the damage from shutdowns, mental health damage, business damage ... real world things that impact life to the point people do die .. or live a miserable life from "the cure"

The downside is less than catastrophic, but MAYBE bad enough to merit this action, until they find the models are wrong. But they have more and more successful HCQ results, yet they will not put that in the models that are full of conjecture (but only downside risk conjecture).

445 389 I don't give a shit. The toilet paper companies need to get their shit together.

Any other industry would have their supply chains worked out by now. They suck at their jobs.

You've got car companies making ventilators and all type of industries making stuff out of their expertise.

If you can't work out supply chain issues in a crisis for your EVERYDAY product, maybe you should find something else to do.

And I'm gonna now go put some short orders out on a few of these companies for tomorrow's open.

Our AZ guv signed one that went into effect yesterday, but it's pretty toothless. The list of "essential" businesses names pretty much everybody -- from the barber shop to the carpet cleaners. In fact, I saw a carpet cleaning truck parked in front of my neighbor's house today, doing their carpets. I guess if you're stuck at home, it is "essential" that you have clean carpets. lol. Meanwhile, I got e-mails today from the local barber shop, the auto mechanic, and the craft shop, offering big discounts to anybody who will give them some business.

Our numbers here haven't moved all that much in the last few days. We still have less than 3 dozen dead, and most of them were old people. Businesses are hurting, and I don't think people are going to put up with this "hide at home" crap for much longer.

483 Our son was diagnosed with throat cancer last month.

He is having exploratory surgery tomorrow, and spent
all day on the phone with insurance, in a futile effort to find if his deductible had been met.

He has been working from home since mid-March, b/c he's immuno-supressed. His extra jobs were in entertainment, which was also shut down in the first wave of non-essentials.

His boss just called to say that he'd been put on furlough. He doesn't know how that will affect his insurance. He understands that HR is probably slammed, which is why he can't get through to them.

We can't be with him because we're not in the same town, we're 65+, and he's immuno-suppressed.

When I think of his situation, and multiply it by the thousands of others like us across the country, as someone said earlier: incandescent with anger.

We have done what we can: we are able to help with the finances, his sister is taking care of the medical side of things, providing food and transportation. Compared to others, we are very blessed.

But still, so furious.

Posted by: illiniwek at April 02, 2020 06:21 PM (Cus5s)


The hydroxychloroquine results are notional at this point. Look at how many peoplehere think Zn(II) is the key. That's a cut above wearing an onion on your belt.

The models are doubtless dodgy. No question about that. But dodginess cuts two ways: the models might be UNDERESTIMATING the death rate, as well as overestimating it. We just don't know.

Suppose Trump & Co. laugh off dire predictions, but that then come true, and 10% of the population dies. Sound high? Black Death killed about 30% in the Middle Ages. We just don't know how bad it COULD be.

Under those circumstances, prudence is called for. I've often said that any problem that can be solved with money is not a very big problem. A real problem is something like a grievous health issue, which cannot be solved with money. THAT is a real problem.

Exactly. That's my point, and why we need to be prudent. OK, we're losing money, etc. It hurts. But we can recover from a loss of money. How do we recover from millions of deaths, if that should happen? Most likely it won't (or wouldn't have happened) but ... we don't know.

603 "Suppose Trump Co. laugh off dire predictions, but that then come true, and 10% of the population dies."

weeks ago I blindly estimated the over/under (or just mid range results I expected) of 14,000 deaths ... based on known data from S Korea and some other places. The HCQ was already in my thinking, since they were suggesting it.


France and others improved it by adding the Z-pak ... and there are many results. We mostly know that ~20% of those are infected may have more serious effects, and maybe half those need icu. That is without the known effective HCQ cocktail given early for the vulnerable population.


I haven't seen anyone suggest this could morph into a 10% of total population killer. There are many doctors now pushing their results of HCQ, and as Sexton said, hospitals are telling their doctors not to talk about it. wtf is going on? I think it is mostly political (the silencing of the HCQ results, not the pandemic itself)

They are not sure yet how HCQ works yet, are they? the one notion said it helps get zinc in the cell, which (I forget details) blocks the virus from replicating. The other notion I heard is it affects cell pH, and stops/slows virus replication that way. idk, just taking zinc won't do it, and most people probably have enough zinc, just needs a way into the cells.

1. By testing random samples of people to make general population estimates presumably
2. You don't show symptoms despite being infected. People who "never get colds" of course get colds(they're exposed just like everyone else), they just don't get noticeably sick.
3. I think I heard that they noticed certain people exposed to coronavirus who were already taking the medicine seemed to do quite well.

Can't give a definitive answer to (B2), but I recall reading that they'd already done trials on Chloroquine for the SARS-COV virus back in 2005. Since SARS-COV-2 is closely related, it doesn't seem a stretch that it would be an early go-to.

670 Rant on "Viruses Don't Know Borders"

Viruses aren't intelligent. Thus the entire universe of knowable things is the universe of things viruses don't know. Anything that can be said about everything is analytically null.

There must be a mistake in your logical process to specify as it if were a significant case when citing an analytically null principle.

Viruses don't know where I live, but I understand I need to stay there. Viruses don't know where I work or where I shop. They don't know where I get "non-essential services", but I can't go there.

To think that there is any content in "Viruses don't know who's Chinese" or "Viruses don't know borders" is to not know that you are saying something analytically inert.

672 I haven't seen anyone suggest this could morph into a 10% of total population killer. There are many doctors now pushing their results of HCQ, and as Sexton said, hospitals are telling their doctors not to talk about it. wtf is going on? I think it is mostly political (the silencing of the HCQ results, not the pandemic itself)

They are not sure yet how HCQ works yet, are they? the one notion said it helps get zinc in the cell, which (I forget details) blocks the virus from replicating. The other notion I heard is it affects cell pH, and stops/slows virus replication that way. idk, just taking zinc won't do it, and most people probably have enough zinc, just needs a way into the cells.
Posted by: illiniwek at April 02, 2020 06:39 PM (Cus5s)


I haven't seen anyone suggest this could morph into a 10% of total population killer.

June 1918: Did anyone suggest that an influenza epidemic could kill millions and millions of people? No.

June 2019: I didn't see anyone suggest there could an corona virus pandemic now. We simply do not know what could have happened.

It's grossly dishonest intellectually to critique decisions with the benefit of hindsight.

They are not sure yet how HCQ works yet, are they? the one notion said it helps get zinc in the cell, which (I forget details) blocks the virus from replicating. The other notion I heard is it affects cell pH, and stops/slows virus replication that way.

Let's cut to the chase. Pondering how hydroxychloroquine works is a classic example of begging the question. We don't know for sure that it DOES work. Doctors are not scientists, and are playing their hunches, based on clinical observations, and God love 'em for. But that's it. Not so long ago, based on clinical observations, they thought leeches were useful in rebalancing humors. More recently, physicians essentially unanimously agreed that ulcers resulted from excess stomach acid, and scoffed at the notion that they resulted from a bacterial infection.

Bottom line: without scientific studies, we're playing hunches. Period.
