Be wary of bad math vis a vis corona virus
For example a headline blared that the Italian death toll rose by 16% in one day. The death toll went from 2503 to 2158. Thats out of a population of 60 million. Which means the % of Italians who died went from 0.4% to 0.4%--or more precisely from 0.36% to 0.41%. Given that the average age of people dying from the virus is around 80 in Italy that means that the vast majority of Italians are basically safe. But by citing a 16% growth the media is stoking unnecessary fear. What matters are what are the chances that any individual will die and what are the chances that enough peopl... more »

IMF Rejects Venezuelan President Maduro's Request For A $5 Billion Emergency Loan To Fight The Covid-19 Pandemic
*AP:* *IMF rejects Maduro's bid for emergency loan to fight virus* The International Monetary Fund has quickly rejected a surprise request Tuesday by Venezuela for an emergency $5 billion loan to fight the new coronavirus, which threatens to push its already battered economy over the edge. An IMF spokesperson said the request can't be considered because there was no clarity among its 189 member states on who it recognizes as Venezuela's rightful leader: Nicolás Maduro or Juan Guaidó, the U.S.-backed head of congress. “Unfortunately, the Fund is not in a position to consider this ... more »

Music As Angina Therapy After A Heart Attack
Your ears enjoy music but your heart may also benefit, according to a new study presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session. Patients with early post-infarction angina, episodes of chest pain after a heart attack, reported significantly lower levels of anxiety and pain if they listened to music for 30 minutes a day. While that's hard to pin down biologically, 700,000 people survive a heart attack just in the U.S. each year and roughly 1 in 9 heart attack survivors experience subsequent episodes of chest pain and anxiety within the first 48 hours, so ... more »
WHO (Mar 16): Test Test Test & ISOLATE All Cases Of COVID19, However Mild, Until 14 Days After Patients Recover
*Summary (of WHO press briefing on 16th March):* We must test every suspected case for COVID-19. We must immediately isolate all cases, even the mild ones. Isolation needs to continue through to 14 days after the symptoms cease to make sure the patients are no longer infectious. The mild cases are best treated in hospitals but when there aren’t the beds for them, they can be treated in stadiums, or gyms, or treated at home. If they are isolated at home, the caregivers must know how to protect themselves or they risk infecting others in the same household. read more

We Need A Paradigm Shift
Andrew Nikiforuk writes that COVID-19 is a wildfire: A pandemic is like a wildfire. The more fuel it finds, the hotter it burns and before you know it is running out of control, and there are not enough resources to put it out. COVID-19 is a fire burning through human communities. We can slow this fire and perhaps even manage its spread by purposely reducing the fuel load. That means breaking the chain of infection by closing public places, eliminating travel and avoiding crowds, and washing hands. But inertia is the general response to things that cannot be seen, such as multip... more »

Government Speech and the Market Metaphor
For the Symposium on Helen Norton, The Government's Speech and the Constitution (Cambridge University Press, 2019). Nelson Tebbe First Amendment doctrine famously—and controversially—requires many offensive beliefs and practices to be remedied in “the marketplace.” The answer to harmful speech is more speech, according to the cliché. And with respect to religion, the solution to illiberalism is robust pluralism. On this logic, hate speech is protected. Corporate employers may embrace religious values without offending the Establishment Clause, and their dissenting employees can pr... more »

The Sound of Silence
There isn't anything wrong with the Beretta 92F (below and left) or the can silencer. However, having used them, it's important to raise the sights when you decide that you want to do that. And then you need to practice with it in that configuration. As configured, it's not suitable for anything but point blank range shooting. Unless you're using it as a movie prop. Then it doesn't matter very much, does it? They're able to stretch one magazine into hours of continual fire. The other thing to remember is that you must use subsonic ammunition.

The professors found that a one degree Celsius increase in temperature and a one percent increase in relative humidity lower “R” by 0.0383 and 0.0224, respectively. “R” is the effective reproductive number of the virus. As I understand it, if that number drops below ... more »

George Carlin : Germs Good
In this routine from 1999, George Carlin lays waste to the notion of Americans getting so worked up about germs, while allowing the media to whip them into a frenzy. **BIG, FAT, LANGUAGE WARNING ** He’s right, ya know. You do need germs to strengthen your immune system. Too much hand sanitizer isn’t good either. Curious how many bacterial infections will come from all the antibacterial hysteria. Would love to hear his take on TP hoarding. ~Terry
