The Coronavirus, not the beer

I'm betting in the final season, Jake will finally get his win over Doug Judy, but then he'll find a way to get him out of it somehow. Would be cool if they turned Judy into a cop.

Considering Judy is an actual felon on the run from the law, I highly doubt that lol.

I believe NBC extended it again for Season 8 (currently is in the 7th season right now). I think it'll finish up around S9 or S10. The show's episode order has already been cut from 22-24 to 18 last year, to 13 this year.

The swimming analogy is you find a gator in the pond. You ban swimming until the gator is removed.

Or, you let some of us go to the pond, and get eaten, and then the rest of us will walk to the otherside of the pond and enjoy the water while so and so is getting ripped to shreds on the other side.

We should only let the asymptomatic folks and under 50 swim in the pool, since the gator will not know they're there in the water and move on.

No - The Gator just wants to sniff them and go away. No danger but don't swim with your elderly parents that the Gator has a taste for.

You guys will do everything possible to not admit you were terribly wrong. Its almost as if this has happened before.

I can't put my finger on it

I assess that risk and decide if I want to do it

We get it bro.

You don't like to be told to not do stuff, you just want everyone to know that you made your own grown up decision not to do it.

Live and let die.

The externality is the part you are missing. Infectious diseases are exhibit A for why the usual economic model of allowing people to pursue their private self-interest breaks down when the costs of their activities are born by someone else.

Pandemics make a strong case for collective action. Individually, none of us has a discernible effect on R naught. But collectively, we can move it well below 1. The problem for public policy is how to get that collective push. Free riders are a problem.

Ingraham asked Fauci howcome life went on with HIV epidemic and we don't have a vaccine for that but we can't do that for this.

Mindblown.

Humans urge to have sex is harder to control then standing 6 feet apart from someone.

Right. Because you know if I go in public, I just go out of my way ask people to go have sex right there in the food court while standing in line for my gyro wrap.

Or you know, we've all got needles in our pocket to share.
 
Next time I go grocery shopping, I'll be sure to think about asking the woman 6 feet in front of me to bone right then and there on that register moving belt, rather than focusing on keeping 6 feet space behind her.

Trump has destroyed you. This is your response to the clearly accurate point that I made?

Holy crap.

Humans instinctively want to procreate. It's been in our DNA for thousands of years.

I'm not really sure where Ingraham was getting, when she was trying to say the tranmission of HIV was just as bad as COVID. We can make adult choices not to have sex and share needles when we shoot our heroine.

These prevalence estimates represent a range between 48,000 and 81,000 people infected in Santa Clara County by early April, 50-85-fold more than the number of confirmed cases. Conclusions The population prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in Santa Clara County implies that the infection is much more widespread than indicated by the number of confirmed cases. Population prevalence estimates can now be used to calibrate epidemic and mortality projections.


More and more of these studies will come out and this thread will dissapear.
