The way I heard it from a guy friend, you don't have to be a sports fan to think about baseball all the time.

Done.

A lot of people outside government make a lot of sense. My question still is, these ideas work great on a blog on the internet. How do you translate that into the same action at a government level? For Denninger, whether it is CV, or debt, or actually anything, he's got his solutions. And berates e...

To all of you, what would you have had the government do? Seriously, give me something here that wouldn't have caused hysteria and panic regardless. Tell those with higher risk to stay at home, the rest go about their lives? Hell, 40% of the country is obese! How many have diabetes? There are so ma...

The crazy thing is that we've been here before. The medical ethicist Henry Caplan made an entire career out of the subject of rationing, convincing us that we needed a centralized top-down medical system to make the lofty life-and-death decisions that the reality of rationing would entail. Unfortuna...

So what if the hospitals are overwhelmed? So what if there aren't enough ventilators for the small, overwhelmingly co-morbid population who needs them, when we know that as many as 98 percent of those who end up on vents are going to die anyway? Why do the powers-that-be continue to pretend that med...

The data from New York is showing that only 1.8 percent of CV-19 deaths did NOT involve a serious co-morbidity. https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19/commen ... york_city/

And for this the entire world economy has been shut down?

At the heart of the scientific method is skepticism. Anyone who attempts to foreclose debate by proclaiming that the science is settled is not a scientist; he is a shill.

Vinny, when you post a link to source that requires a subscription, it would be helpful if you would excerpt the relevant information.

That was only the first listing I saw. I presume that shipping times vary greatly depending on where the item is coming from. And if some predictions bear out, we've only begun to see the fallout of supply chain disruptions. Anyway, it's a resource.

Here's a thought: aliexpress.com--the wholesale supplier of every fly-by-night online seller. Here's an example-- 50 rolls of toilet paper for $98. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000823585033.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.38da6158p3oTiX&s=p&ad_pvid=202004021654212102027897697600019797509_...

Mainstream news is reporting that New York hospitals will no longer be receiving patients in cardiac arrest. Paramedics are being instructed that if a patient cannot be revived in the field, they're to be treated as a goner. Another news article, describing the overloaded conditions at New York hosp...

A few years back, disinfectant wipes were virtually unknown. A rag with a spray bottle of dilute lysol worked for 1950s housewives, and it still works today. You can buy cheap hotel washcloths 50 to 500 at a time on eBay for very little money. They make great rags. Pretend you're a homesteader. It c...

Another idea is the hardware store. I was in the local Ace Hardware the other day and was amazed to see an entire aisle devoted to household products virtually untouched. People don't think of that.

All are available on Amazon, albeit at sky-high prices. Amazon recently instituted a policy prohibiting its third-party sellers from selling CoVid-related items in short supply at inflated prices--at the risk of having their accounts terminated. I know that because I teach a class on "life skil...

You don't keep a common cold virus (common coronavirus) in a P4 lab. P4 labs are intended for the most dangerous pathogens on the planet, and the research there typically involves DNA/RNA recombinance. If this virus came out of a P4 lab, you can be virtually certain it was an engineered one.

Hey, you're a good-looking dude, Cortopassi!

I agree--Denninger is making a whole lot of sense when he asks whether we should be turning the world upside down to insure that heroic measures are available to a population that is 80-95% likely to die anyway.

I keep thinking. . . What sense does it make to turn every hospital and clinic into a center of contagion and, in the process, jeopardize the health and/or lives of people who need medical treatment for conditions other than CoVid-19? I previously related how an immune compromised friend with a surg...

I've been pondering this question since long before the CoVid-19 thing arose. But now I'm all the more curious. To the best of my understanding, some microbes to which we are exposed take up residence in our bodies for only a short time. They're either killed off by our immune systems or eradicated ...

When did Harry make this comment? Was it before or after the western technocratic elite took over that country? Was Harry a libertarian of the Posner type, the latter of which might well conclude that five-year-olds fabricating $175 Nikes for $0.50 an day is an example of the free market functioning...

The debate about masks seems so ridiculous. . . I frequently come into contact with rodent droppings in the barn and chicken coop. When cleaning, I ALWAYS wear a mask, which has been recommended since the dawn of time for protection against hantavirus. I see absolutely no reason why the same strateg...

And they do mean cocktail (visualizing a nice vodka tonic) Seriously, Mathjak, I'll be hoping and praying for the best.
