Mine will be a quaranteen.

I'm sure you thought this was relevant.

I respect him a LOT more than Rush Limbaugh - and he got the Presidential Medal of Mouthpiece. We can disagree, but he's come a long way from being a crack baby. He got a pat on the back.

I give him lots of credit - he re-tooled his American-Made factory and immediately started making 10,000 CDC Approved masks per day and by Friday; he expects to be making 50,000 masks a day.

All true, Brother. I was thinking more along the lines of if I can get emails on my phone; then hand the phone to the kid and let them click on the hyperlink and let them do their school work. Really rural - very true. Parts of Oklahoma are like West -by God- Virginia. But even then, if there's no infrastructure from an ISP and they have a cell tower - then hot spot. (Course, that sentence right there prolly would blow some country folks away. : )

I think it was directed more to the Professor's comment that yours. I wonder how much tongue-lashing I would have gotten for posting a graph that said, 'This "estimate" is based on a "rule of thumb" that . . .'

The schools near me have decided to give out the chromebooks they use in class until they can bridge the internet gap more thoroughly. Organizations are stepping up to help and it'll take some time in the new normal to get all kids online learning, but things are heading that direction. I'm constantly getting emails from the school asking me what resources I need for internet access. Kinda cracks me up - if you can get an email - doesn't your child have access to the Internet?

Sorry.

Wait til education figures out that the Taj Mahal School buildings and that as many teachers, superintendents and administrators become less necessary. We've been using Khan Academy (for years) until the school releases their "approved curriculum." We'll see how that works. IMO Khan Academy is great. My kid can whip your kid at math. In the meantime, I kinda like to be the Dad and make her laugh, "Baby Girl, let's tell Alexa to fart."

Phil, back to the topic at hand and one of our previous discussions: "Epidemiologist, Didier Raoult, just posted online, this study offers more hope that the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin is helping COVID-19 patients. Now, this was a study of 80 patients, more than double the size Professor Oz's (ph) earlier study had, but it's still not controlled. Nevertheless, 54 of the patients had CT scans for COVID pneumonia. Only three of them required an ICU, and the median age was 52, that's fairly young. About two- thirds or so had underlying medical conditions, and the results were stunning. This is what it said, in part. "By administrating hydroxychloroquine combined with azithromycin, we were able to observe an improvement in all cases, except in one patient who arrived with an advanced form, who was over the age of 86 and in whom the evolution was irreversible. For all other patients in this cohort of 80 people, the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin resulted in a clinical improvement that appeared significant when compared to the natural evolution in patients with a definite outcome, as described in the literature." EDIT: This is the actual study https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7064018/

about a nanosecond.

Closet conservative? <smiley face>

Well, there's always that also.

Well, that's a lot shorter than most would give me.

I don't blame the first man to climb up under a cow and suck on a teet. He was hungry. I blame the second man who believed the first man when he said it was a good idea to try it. Then, Stupid v.3-1000 sends their kids to the same school as Stupid v.2 to drink the milk.

You probably don't have an American Lung Association in Britain, do ya?

Matthew 11:20 Sure there is: Meet Stupid v.1 Stupid v.1 has a child. We'll call him Stupid v.2

Stopped which? Badump bump teeeash

Holy shit. Stop reading what the alarmists are reporting and read the thingie you posted. . It's a simple matter of social-distancing their employees and with the need to pull back - compliance becomes an internal recording mechanism with non-compliance having to be explained and you can bet that the fines will be more than the value of compliance relaxation. PS Just a reminder - I am so far left of the liberals when it comes to the environment that I've been chastised by the Professor for believing that wind turbines are a form of pollution.

That is more to my point than yours 99% of pot smokers started out as cigarette smokers.

I read that as being more of a pain in the ass later; than complying with the existing policies now. They'll need to explain exactly why & how compliance was directly attributed to the COVID-19.

Huh? "Smoke is harmful to lung health. Whether from burning wood, tobacco or marijuana, toxins and carcinogens are released from the combustion of materials. Smoke from marijuana combustion has been shown to contain many of the same toxins, irritants and carcinogens as tobacco smoke.4-7 Beyond just what's in the smoke alone, marijuana is typically smoked differently than tobacco. Marijuana smokers tend to inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than cigarette smokers, which leads to a greater exposure per breath to tar.8 Secondhand marijuana smoke contains many of the same toxins and carcinogens found in directly-inhaled marijuana smoke, in similar amounts if not more.5 While there is no data on the health consequences of breathing secondhand marijuana smoke, there is concern that it could cause harmful health effects, especially among vulnerable children in the home. Additional research on the health effects of secondhand marijuana smoke is needed." https://www.lung.org/quit-smoking/smoking-facts/health-effects/marijuana-and-lung-health

Always cracks me up how someone will stand on their "Privacy Rights" soapbox, then jump on facebook and just give it all away - which was the premise of the show. I enjoyed it for about the first three seasons, then like most it was just a re-play of the same plot each week.

Let's use CBD oil - it apparently cures everything.
