Aha. You went to Trump University's school of failed logic. Worth every penny IMHO.

When you actually show us you know how to construct an experiment please include us in the viewing of your demonstration.

And your uncle was Hitler.

Actually, Heil ME!

Here's a source that tracks current positivity rates in each state and even includes a little chart for each. To me this is the most useful indicator for how much I will personally ease up on social distancing. My state has been below 1% for a week or so, so I got a haircut today. If we manage to keep it below 1% for a couple weeks I may decide to go into work again. Be sure to check out the footnote, About the Data, at the bottom.

I hasn't jumped yet so quit the Jiminie.

Seven reasons. That's more than six degrees of freedom and that would up answering nothing.

The state of Victoria here in AU has been heavily hit by COVID 19. 288 new cases in 24 hours, and promising to get even worse. The rest of the country have closed their borders to Victorians.

Georgia is a mess and most of the white people in my area are totally disregarding social distancing and mask wearing, while most of the black people are being very careful. It's most likely due to the fact that our idiot president has made this a partisan issue. Our governor is not helping either. He says he is encouraging people to wear masks and social distance but claims he can't enforce such things. Plus, he opened everything up in April. Restaurants are packed if the parking lots are an indication. Hair salons and nail salons appear to be packed. We have an appointment next week for one of our dogs to have its annual physical and vaccinations. I'm not sure if they are still making people wait in their cars while they take the pets inside to be examined. But if that's the case, they better bring Kiki a muzzle because Kiki doesn't like anyone but us. She only weighs about 18 lbs, but she's fierce and can be scary. Anyway, we are being very careful and just wish that others would take this pandemic seriously.

Is Kiki a dog or cat? I realize that 18lbs is large for a cat but I have a 24lb cat so I know that they can come that big.

The vet we take our cats to are still having people wait outside. I don't know if that's the rule anymore. People in Massachusetts are taking mask wearing and such very seriously overall. And Vets being doctors of a sort, I'd think that many vets would take precautions even if they are no longer required.

Yeah. It turns out that the source of this outbreak was a security guard in one of the quarantine hotels that are used to house people who arrive back from overseas - he was having sex with those in his custody, contracted the virus, and spread it to the rest of the state.

That would make the phrase, "those fucking Aussies", often uttered and inspired by the antics of Australians, make sense.

I wasn't going to comment about the Premier of Victoria Dopey Dan, who in all reality should shoulder most of the blame for this outbreak. Dan's union bosses demanded he use unqualified unionist guards when PM Scomo offered him 1000 professionals from the military which Dopey Dan refused the offer. The chickens have now come home to roost putting the whole nation at risk.

Aerosol‐forced AMOC changes in CMIP6 historical simulations

Abstract
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has been, and will continue to be, a key factor in the modulation of climate change both locally and globally. However, there remains considerable uncertainty in recent AMOC evolution. Here, we show that the multi‐model mean AMOC strengthened by approximately 10% from 1850‐1985 in new simulations from the 6th Coupled Model Inter‐comparison Project (CMIP6), a larger change than was seen in CMIP5.
Across the models, the strength of the AMOC trend up to 1985 is related to a proxy for the strength of the aerosol forcing. Therefore, the multi‐model difference is a result of stronger anthropogenic aerosol forcing on average in CMIP6 than CMIP5, which is primarily due to more models including aerosol‐cloud interactions. However, observational constraints ‐ including a historical sea surface temperature fingerprint and shortwave radiative forcing in recent decades ‐ suggest that anthropogenic forcing and/or the AMOC response may be overestimated.

Quick trip to get gas this morning.
Clerk won't take the guy's money or turn on the pump until he puts a mask on. Guy sings the fuck-your-rules-muh-freedom song.
I ask, 'can you grandstand to the side so the rest of us can get served?'
He goes off on me, about my mask, my herd mentality, two other customers get served behind his back. This fact makes me smile, which is less effective behind my mask. He finally storms off.

Jesus. I worked a suicide hotline a while back. Hours thru the night, talking people down, getting them help, perspective, shelter, other resources. Right now, though, if you guys want to drink the disinfectant, i am willing to get you a straw.

Do you administer UV bulb suppositories too?

There's a fee for that.

Now there's a tail wags dog story if there are such.

Here in Everybody4hissdamnself we have trained civil servants and volunteer military. The only things military and, by implication, police are professional at are killing "the bad guys." Seems to me you're pumping cock'nbull.

The shit is slowly getting real.
People in full hazmat suits came and contact traced the apartment below. Shops finally started enforcing mask regime. Children and kids though, absolutely no social distancing whatsoever.
