Clearly, Dotardism is spreading faster than Covid-19, especially in Texas. The facts just do not support this outlook. Let's bump this at Easter, shall we?

surprised? not me Cynthia Giles, who headed the EPA’s Office of Enforcement during the Obama administration: “This EPA statement is essentially a nationwide waiver of environmental rules for the indefinite future. It tells companies across the country that they will not face enforcement even if they emit unlawful air and water pollution in violation of environmental laws, so long as they claim that those failures are in some way 'caused' by the virus pandemic. And it allows them an out on monitoring too, so we may never know how bad the violating pollution was." |

Like Katrina in 2005, this is exposing the brutality in both depth and quantity of the United States' "hidden" poverty. From The Guardian:

GOP holding with the Trumpy line: https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4...ouple-of-weeks
If, by Easter, things are turning around in USA, I fully expect to be attacked/harangued.

Quote:
the classic growth curve goes like this: ![]() that works for a bacterial population or some other organism but we can assume the same here. works with humans too. some scientists have theorized our population on earth will stabilize around 11 billion (we're currently 8) first the organism reproduces at an exponential rate-- the upward curve. then it's still exponential but the exponent is reduced. growth begins to slow down as resources (space, food, infectable hosts, etc) are less available, they growth becomes more or less asymptotic with the limits of the environment. so in the case of covid, that would be when 80 or 90% or more of the population has been infected. then comes the decline phase which is when we start to develop herd immunity due to antibodies in individuals who were exposed but recovered. social distancing should work, but we can't see results until patients stop coming in because we don't actually have tests to track who is actually infected. but we will also have more absolute numbers of people infected by the time we know how the rates are doing. so yes, the curve will inevitably bend, either because of preventive measures or because we all got infected. the question is if it will bend soon enough for the number of sick not to use up all the ventilators. the ventilators are the problem. speaking of which, after spending all day saying new york didn't need the respirators it had requested, el dotardo finally ordered gm to start making them. thanks obama for saving gm. |

Sure, I get that. I just don't get the part where the exponent is reduced/declining by Easter, based on everything I see/hear from science. The GOP must have access to Alternative Science.

I'd be very interested in how we weave the whole Obamacare / "Trumpcare"* / medical insurance aspects into this whole thing, as a Canadian.
*I'm not really sure what Trump has done on this front, other than trying to kill Obamacare. Bytor, please help me out in this regard. Thanks.

Prediction: once this is all over (if it ever is...), Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson will inevitably be invited to a late night talk show. Host: "So you guys were quarantined together for a long time... You MUST have made a LOT of monkey love, right?"
