Yeah, right.

So I looked up the study they are referencing (https://www.nber.org/papers/w27408.pdf) and they are using date from May 25, 2020 to June 20, 2020.  The 14 day quarantine period is just coming to a close for the June 20 date.  I think they should have waited until the 14 day period was over to start their analysis.

I think t-mobile is the only network that supports it too. GSM 1900?

I am on T-Mobile. I'm sure the 2G service will fade away soon. I guess I'll be in the market for a cheap 4G phone soon.

Funny thing: About 6 or 7 years ago, I was having trouble with a battery contact and went shopping around to the local pawn shops to see if there was a 5190 collecting dust on a back shelf somewhere that I could salvage the part I needed from. At the first shop, I asked if they had one and the guy reached under the counter and presented me with a basket full of them, no charge, but he wanted to keep his basket. I accepted the deal. There was a face among the collection with an intact lens as well, so I was able to replace the cracked one on my phone.

LA mayor, maskless in a mandatory mask state, the day before he tells people to stay home on the 4th, unless they're protesting.

The 4th this year should be a protest against people like him.

THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED!

Unless it's not. But then the WHO just disses the dissenters ... this is starting to sound a lot like the global warming climate change debate.

Add priapism to the list of beer virus risks:

Doctors in France believe the novel coronavirus could be to blame for a man’s erection that lasted more than four hours, a new case study says.

Blood clots found within the 62-year-old’s penis caused a painful case of priapism — the medical term for a prolonged erection — and is thought to have been triggered by the disease, according to the report published in June in The American Journal of Emergency Medicine.

The case appears to be the first that links penile erections to COVID-19, the team of doctors said.

So now it's a nasal swab, a temp check, and a grope? ;)  Hmmm.  I may go get myself tested.  Or is this just a back door effort to have more and more people get tested?

That very same thought has crossed my mind as well.

These swabs being shoved up people's noses look like the ones used to collect DNA samples. I have no evidence that DNA is being collected, but it certainly is a possibility, isn't it. One could build up/add to a DNA data base with what's on those swabs. There is already a finger print data base. They want a firearms registry. Makes one wonder what else those in control want to gather about each and every one of us.

My body is a no swab zone. :hellno:

Paranoia is a survival trait.

Now I wonder how many others have thought this swabbing might be a vehicle for DNA collection.

That may seem like a lot, but the Bluegrass State was one of only 10 states below the century mark. Indiana residents spent 102 hours drunk during the 11-week period, the survey indicated.

South Dakota adults took home the dubious top slot at 468 hours, while Nevada, with its debaucherous Las Vegas weekends on hold during the coronavirus emergency, checked in with just 33 hours of drunk time.

Here in WI, we don't even need a lockdown for that.

Geez, I have to get with the program, I have not been drunk once during the lockdown.  And I can't remember the last time I was drunk before the lockdown.

On another note, I made my bi-weekly pilgrimage to the supermarket today. YIKES! Some things were in stock, but a lot of spaces on the shelves were totally bare.

  • Almost no frozen fish sticks or frozen fish filets.
  • Plenty of toilet paper, but NO paper towels, and almost no facial tissue
  • Almost no frozen vegetables
  • Not a single can of baked beans, of any brand
  • Plenty of milk
  • Plenty of orange juice
  • Lots of store brand white bread, but very little of any name brand bread
  • Soda aisle was pretty picked over. No caffeine-free diet cola, so I had to settle for diet grape and diet raspberry ginger ale
  • Very slim picking for frozen hamburgers. They didn't have the brand I want, so I took a pass on that
  • Still no hand sanitizer, Clorox spray, or Lysol spray

Beshear said Thursday he signed an executive order mandating anyone in public wear a mask that will go into effect Friday at 5 p.m. The mandate is in regard to any customers of retail facilities including grocery stores and other forward-facing businesses.

The governor also said if anyone is outdoors in a public space and cannot be six feet from another person, masks are required.

The order will initially be in effect for a period of 30 days.

Kansas did the mask thing last week. It is the west boundary of my place. I went o two towns and saw one mask.

I asked a friend and he said the sheriff said don't call us we are not the mask police we have things to do.
Sometimes we carry more weight then we owe.

Spotted a guy in the supermarket with no mask.  Minded my own business, figuring I had no proof that he actually had and was spreading the virus.
