Hit The Beach

Trump lost the plot by suggesting we might clean the COVID-19 out of our system by mainlining Clorox but there was good news from the scientists at his Thursday event - warmth, humidity and especially sunshine crush the coronavirus.

And thirdly, the virus dies the quickest in the presence of direct sunlight under these conditions.  And when you — when you look at that chart, look at the aerosol as you breathe it; you put it in a room, 70 to 75 degrees, 20 percent humidity, low humidity, it lasts — the half-life is about an hour.  But you get outside, and it cuts down to a minute and a half.  A very significant difference when it gets hit with UV rays.

Which way to the beach?

"Several weeks ago there were reports, I think out of South Korea, that some people who survived COVID 19 got re-infected and sick again"

Back thread kk confirmed.
But also there was an interview or podcast on PL where Dr Geach said the Korea reports were considered dubious

Anyway, still an issue.

"I cannot understand why TM chose to use it."

Maybe he's not reading widely enough. There was an interesting piece on TheNewNeo about Michael Moore gaining some baby-steps insights into Green Energy.

Commenter: " I know pretty much countless people who consider themselves well-informed, indeed EXTREMELY well-informed. They get their news from WaPo, NYT, BBC, NBC, The Atlantic, PBS, NPR, The Economist and so on.
...Things keep popping up that they didn’t expect and can’t explain. BrExit passes. Trump is nominated. Trump gets elected. The US economy doesn’t collapse, in fact it ignites. World War 3 doesn’t start. Red states don’t suffer from WuFlu more than Blue states."

That airplane boneyard reminded me of a story that may, or may not be true.

Something along the lines of a Russian or Chinese defense official was on an official tour in the US and they showed him a couple of airbases.

Besotted with the propaganda from back home that we were weak he told his hosts that he was on to their game. They were flying the same planes to the next airbases before he got to the next one.

So they put him back on the plane and flew him over the boneyard and told him to look out the window. Hundreds and hundreds of planes as far as the eye can see. Now he's impressed. "What is this place?", he says. "This where we keep the spare planes.", he was told.

It figures, as soon as I say Nytol, I cycle through a couple of blogs and found this. I haven't watched it yet, in fact I didn't click the link to insure viability. But the summary is so fascinating I couldn't help but come back and plaster it against the comment-wall.

“Researchers used to say that no government could survive if five percent of its population mobilized against it.

But our data reveal that the threshold is probably lower. In fact, no campaigns failed once they’d achieved the active and sustained participation of just 3.5% of the population—and lots of them succeeded with far less than that. Now, 3.5% is nothing to sneeze at. In the U.S. today, this means almost 11 million people.

But get this: Every single campaign that did surpass that 3.5% threshold was a nonviolent one.”

[joan]

Oh, Miss Marple and others, I wasn't upset about my posts on the nursing home corona cases -- I had to leave abruptly because my husband was calling me for help from the garage. Our dog can't manage to get into my SUV anymore -- he puts his paws on the floorboard and my husband lifts him up into the back seat. His hips are getting bad. They'd both were in trouble -- the dog got nervous and upset, tried to jump in, fell, and half-knocked my husband down. So, I didn't get back on jom until late this evening.

On the comment about the nursing homes, I was going to go ahead and tell you some of the details -- when the residents at the one home were tested almost two weeks ago, none were showing symptoms -- they discovered almost forty patients were asymptomatic, but all were positive for the virus, plus about eight or so of the staff. The management called in one of those restoration companies, Burggraf, who disinfected walls, floors, ceilings, etc. They established a wing for the corona patients. Also, set up a system where all staff showered before they went home -- to protect their families. A few days ago, the cases at the one home had ticked up to 56m, with six deaths. Another of the nicer rehab/nursing homes reported seven cases yesterday and it was up to 24 cases today.

On the zip code, the state department of health gives cases, recoveries, deaths, etc., several different ways, by county, city, and zip codes. The zip code where this is going on has the highest number of virus cases in the entire state. I thought that was really interesting for such a small, small area.

Anyway, I apologize for the abrupt end of my post. I was really sad about the virus hitting the nursing homes, especially since we've entertained them at Christmas and sometimes spring shows.

Thanks again for those who reassured me, especially you, Miss Marple, you have a kind and generous heart. :)

[JimNorCal]

Never mind my 1:52, just an excitable activist for "non violence".

I got all excited about the thought that 3.5% of us could march on Washington and drain the swamp. That's not the vibe of this thing at all.

“Ever hear of the prisoner's dilemma? That's the only strategy that will result in convictions of these guys in DC IMO.”

Clarice, unfortunately prisoner’s dilemma only works if they think there’s a chance they’ll get convicted of something if they keep silent. If they know that won’t happen, there’s no reason to rat out the other guy.

[cathyf]

If they could change the venue to DC for a case about Ted Stevens house in Alaska, why can’t we get the venue changed on a coup plotter’s case? I mean the NSA’s servers where they keep the FISA data are in Utah, right? I wonder if they tapped phones at Mar-a-lago? Another place to hold the trial...

[jim nj]

worldometer look see

Total US cases 925,232, new cases 38,232, %change 4.3%, deaths 52,193, recovered 110,432.

4/21 819,175 26,237 +3.3%
4/22 849,092 29,917 +3.6%
4/23 886,709 37,617 +4.4%
4/24 935,232 38,523 +4.3%

OK, so Pence mentioned that we are now testing at an increased rate during the press conference and that we will see a bump in numbers because of that.

So a little whoo-hoo dance. I was correct that this was not an uptick in cases, just more testing catching, well, more positives faster.

The mix of tests being used will make the number of new positives a little more uncertain for a while. Some tests will still take 2 or more days to process, some will be near instant.

The tests are also becoming less intrusive and easier to administer, though I note that the new Rutgers saliva test still needs about 48 hours to process it.

As I understand it, Rutgers is working with other labs across the country to duplicate the new test and roll it out elsewhere.

These newer less invasive tests won't tax the collection system as badly as the older tests did. The testing lines will run faster.

[jim nj]

I worry that some will use the more extensive testing numbers incorrectly against the re-opening states.

OUTBREAK. OUTBREAK. No, more better testing.

You know they are going to do it. They can't help themselves. Somebody is spending millions a day to find anything to attack Trump with. They'll go after the re-opening governors next.

These are all larger businesses. Smaller businesses will have to make their own choices. Customers will have to make their own choices about patronizing newly re-opened businesses.

Bernard Kock Colonized Cow Island With Freed Slaves

History has been brutally unkind to Bernard Kock, my third great grandfather. Historians use all sorts of pejoratives to describe him — swindler, scoundrel, opportunist — and perhaps with good reason. But it’s pretty clear that at least some of the enmity toward Kock is rooted in the fact that he made Abraham Lincoln look like a hypocrite.

My girlfriend is very apolitical. Isn't much interested in Trump at all.

Furloughed from her job, she is suffering from boredom. She usually doesn't watch much TV, but has been watching the Cuomo, Murphy and Trump press conferences lately trying to stay abreast of what is going on.

So she's got no income now. Nothing. She applied for the stimulus payment, NJ unemployment and food stamps. And she's like where's my money! And these processes are taking forever.

So I turn on the TV early to catch the Trump press conference, which she now looks forward to, and the news runs a story on Lysol issuing a statement about not ingesting their product and she went ballistic.

"That's not what he said!" "He was thinking out loud, spit-balling."

I can't get a word in edgewise in the ensuing stream of invectives. I realize I'm watching a real-time religious conversion and just keep saying "Yup, yup, yup."

The power of the press is truly amazing. I've been telling her for years that Trump isn't such a bad guy. In one day's time she has finally agreed.

In NJ we have a month and a week to the traditional Memorial Day opening of the Jersey Shore vacation economy.

Were I the governor, I would make it clear that we intend to open that season as usual with precautions.

If he isn't smart enough to pivot toward that goal he's an idiot.

That economy is worth billions each year. We're the most densely populated state with lots of urban areas, but the shore is a different animal. It's low density in the winter. It goes into hibernation. Businesses there only survive year to year with a summer peak.

Cuomo and Murphy can do the dire shit routine as much as they want, but they will kill both states economies forever if they can't shift to hopeful.

He described the plans to “reopen”, including an emphasis on telemedicine, but also coordination services for any in-person services required. Most are designed to avoid any reason to go to the hospital wherever possible.

They also announced a team of docs that will be “home visit” focused. Last time I remember that happening was 60 years ago:)

When I say it keeps coming up I am nit kidding, nor knocking myself out to reach a strained interpretation. It's ubiquitous and the pandemic is being used as the jumpstart.

Who owns the press room? The White House, or the WHCA?

I'll be taking the low odds on this one, and Jonathon Karl ain't going to be happy with this outcome.

I really do think coming closer to winning what was a longshot has left her delusional. I have noticed it in the way she talks now vs the more measured tone I am familiar with. And she is not dumb.

As daniel bell once wrote by the late 1950s because of transations into english "we now understand' Marx's true vision better than anything Lenin had access to at the time of the russian revolution.

Yes, he did write that and I was on a college tour with the diva in a hotel lobby when I read it. Almost fell out of my chair. The diva liked having the room to herself while "she gets ready." That was also the tour because I splurged just a bit for the business train seats making the diva the only teenager there, she kept encountering ivy league profs commuting from other cities who would answer her questions one on one. It was a good, unforeseen opportunity for her.

I just liked the ability to sit alone on a different row and have a bit of space while consuming an adult beverage.
