Luckily the sun shines out of mine 🤣
An ER doctor friend of mine says it sure doesn't stop people from trying
Wasn't there a serial killer nurse in Texas who killed people by putting bleach in the IVs?
Remember reading that. Not sure if it was Texas or not.
Believe so.
I think technology and sanitation are about to merge and become a booming business. In the future when we walk into a walmart, that little space where they keep the buggies and Redbox between the 2 sliding doors, will be where everybody gets sanitized somehow.
I get that the data may not have been gathered, analyzed, or disseminated as research normally is. However, these are not normal times. Is it necessary to throw the baby out with the bathwater so to speak? Certainly there are insights that can be taken from the california tests with an extra level of skepticism.
It's that the disease didn't have enough prevalence in the area to overcome the false positive rate. If there is a false positive rate of 2.5% and your data says 4% of the people in the area had the disease, you can't draw any conclusions from that. At that level it's a real possibility the results are meaningless.
Well I had to go to the office today to get our departments mail and when I drove by my hair salon there were 6 cars in the lot that belonged to customers. The employees and owner parks on the side. The salon only has 3 stations and it's in an old converted house only using 2 of the rooms. An interior wall had been knocked down to make it 1 open space. Needless to say, the room isn't that big especially to have 3 work stations plus a wash station. There is no way in hades that those people were able to stand or sit 6 feet away from each other. Also needless to say, there is no way in hades I'm getting a much needed hair cut in the coming weeks.
You'll know who it is. It'll be the 6 people in your community that actually look good.
Just one of the advantages for me of having no hair anymore :(.
I even think the NY test has some flaws. The sample of 3k was only those that were out going to stores etc. and hence likely a biased sample that included disproportionate number of Essential workers, lower risk people from the household, those that know/think they may have had it and hence have immunity, etc.
Yes, it definitely wasn't representative of the population. I believe the test was better in terms of efficacy and at least the results were above noise.
Agreed. that's why I used the data. Not perfect but best there is!
Well, day 1 of the Georgia opening. I was at Home Depot yesterday and maybe 1/8 were wearing masks and social distancing was largely ignored. I guess we will find out in the next month or two the ramifications.
