Got distracted for a bit. I have collaborated with one of the world's experts in vaccines and a week ago we had a conversation via new fangled electronic mail about the viability of a vaccine. Here is his reply to my initial query which I only made because I no longer worry about appearing...

Knowing the pool you are sampling from is important. If say, 10 million people had been hunkering down the whole time and don't have antibodies, that would be good to know. It not only impacts mortality calculations (impacts the number you are dividing by), but also gives information about the...

Cuomo comments on that in the article. He points out that these were people that were out and about and thus more likely to be infected than someone who hasn't gone out at all.

Makes sense to me. If I do rough math (rounding just a tad so I can do it in my head), population of New York is about 2e7. Deaths as of today is 2e4. So, 2e7 x 0.15 = 3e6. 2e4/3e6 = 0.667%. I should note, I think we're missing some in the numerator too. If we were to go back and test bodies...

These things are happening everywhere. Here's an article about a nursing home near me that has been raked over the coals in the local media. Over the last decade this home has average less than a death a month. Here's some quotes from the article - "At least 10 people in a Carmel nursing home...

If I've learned anything from all these discussions is that Werner Heisenberg's popularity is lower than it should be due to dislike of uncertainty!

Shot upon crossing the state line. At least that was my experience the other night. Thank god for body armor!

I dare you to post a picture of a mouse next to that weird thing that some claim started Disneyworld. It’s almost 6 feet tall and bipedal for starters! It’s mouth didn’t move, then it did move, then it sometimes moved. Never seen eating. We’re clearly dealing with some kind of alien presence...

Three questions and I think I’ll be “in the know.” 1) Who is Iger? 2) Is Disney a company? 3) What’s a CEO?

Interesting. First thing I did was look up number of tests administered and they are about the same. So, I’m gonna go with that’s a good comparison (besides dinner is ready and this isn’t a full time job for me). Deaths are quite a bit lower in Ohio. 1,937 (Sweden) versus 610 (Ohio). I do know...

Sweden’s total population is less than Ohio’s, a bit greater than North Carolina’s or Georgia’s. First case, late. Low population density even if you account for the barrenness of the north. Lots who work from home and live alone. And for all that, if you sort by deaths per million on...

Do you need 62 grand for the next millenium now? I hope the long life Jell-O shots are working out.

That's right. Time to fill up trash cans with gasoline and learn how "to count" the volume delivered. Then, when the time is right, sell it door to door.

My wife catches me cheating all the time. Just last night several cards fell out of my sleeve during a high stakes game of Go Fish. I think the app on her phone told her that a deck had less than 106 cards.

You can also request candelabras and unlimited kumquats when they’re in season.

I dunno. My peeing section in the swimming pool seemed to work well.

Today. 2:18 PM. WDW soft opening. Mostly you’ll be able to purchase Tie Dye cheesecake at Pop if you’re at the right place at the right time.

Everyone’s talking about Covid19 and WDW liability. Wait until they see my, “You call that an optimal day? Really?” suit. Better buckle up corporate fancy law talking guys. You will be on a wild ride that doesn’t involve amphibians or the old west.

I should note, I'm not much different in real life and if you knew me well and hadn't been to WDW in quite a while, there is a good chance I could be making something like GotG replacing UoE up.

It is a blessing and a curse if you went regularly in the 70s, 80s, and even most of the 90s. The last weekend in February, an old friend organized a trip for his birthday. There were 5 of us. We all had 3 season salute passes when were in high school (1986-1988). We stayed in a Fort Wilderness...
