skevinp Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Can we knock it off with the “I care more about people than you do” BS? It’s mean-spirited and arguably a personal attack, and I had thought those were against the guidelines. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be ###### if someone says her life doesn’t matter because it’s only 1 out of many and she would have died anyway. I care more was not my point. My point was when it hits you personally statistics be ######. Edited March 13, 2020 by JimF-LowBari 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anniversary of losing my wife like I described before so more than a bit sensitive. ok mods I’m done.... I’m sorry for your loss. Having lost so many of my friends to uneducated life choices, I understand. We move on or try to. Peace! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I have to chuckle, having been in verbal tussles with both of these two, I see now second hand how passionate they are. Even attacking each other as they and I did. The mods here are so dang good because they know and appreciate the passion. They'll let you fight it out so long as it stays respectful and not personal. They're drum corps people. They're also Luca Brasi. Edited March 13, 2020 by garfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much better for the statisticians if those million come over time so they can measure impacts of systemic improvements. A "bell-curve" model. Having all 1million show up in a short amount of time doesn't provide for measurements of systemic improvements and, at the same time, overloads the capabilities on the health provider system all at once. In order to get proper measurements of systemic improvements we have to have measurable new applications. The more data points the better the odds of achieving a uniform antiviral and an application cycle to maximize its application. I stayed at Holiday Inn, and you can find these bell-curve charts in the internets, released in just the last few days. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This I understand and totally agree with. Somehow thought it might have meant delay (prolong) testing (discovery) of possible cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
