Quoner

Oh shit... those words got real big real fast, so just in case you didn't make it further... “This appearance of certainty is seductive when the world is desperate to know what lies ahead,” Britta Jewell of Imperial College and her colleagues wrote in their Annals paper. But the IHME model “rests on the likely incorrect assumption that effects of social distancing policies are the same everywhere.” Because U.S. policies are looser than those elsewhere, largely due to inconsistency between states, U.S. deaths could remain at higher levels longer than they did in China, in particular.

Does this mean I have to change my signature or is it finally the most accurate it's ever been?

Two good links for today with proper advanced apologies: A data-driven look at why the whole concept of a tradeoff the economy for lockdowns is flawed (along with a reasonable path back): https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/04/08/998785/stop-covid-or-save-the-economy-we-can-do-both/?fbclid=IwAR3lUQwQTNK_4JLukNA8YBf3d4bVIN0-Q_IalRg7D0rwajliAletpVEde3o (sorry it is just some MIT eggheads and not like Joe Rogan, Bill Maher or a car thermometer on a hot day) A leaked cable showed US Embassy officials were actively worrying about this lab in January 2018 https://www.thedailybeast.com/leaked-cable-shows-us-officials-flagged-safety-issues-at-wuhan-lab-years-ago (sorry for the Daily Beast link, but the odds of anyone here having a WaPo subscription feel extremely low)

Why is this no biggy when you were panicky about every single Ebola headline? Is it really just as simple as who the president is?

Weird... what can't that damn mainstream media do? In times like this, it's always a good and useful exercise to check the receipts. How did GMG.com think the media was doing a month ago? ED NOTE: Oh no. Did they lose their retainer yet? They blowed it all weird I guess. Well, we got a tiger thing. That's fun. Carole Baskins...amirite or what? Then, Billy made a very prescient point. Just look at the huge tonal shifts we've seen from some of the leading posters on this thread! This is clearly no ebola - let them all play! We've come a long way since lock up your sick and olds, wash your hands and wipe down the elliptical. But in the end, as always, it was Judy McLeod's fault.

Your dog is sick. Which opinion you trust more - the friend who's wife is a veterinarian after he consults with her or the guy who designed the doggy day care room at Petsmart and is on the staffwide calls for Banfield bc they are in the same building?

If Dr. Lifer MD is a thing now, I'd like to also congratulate you on running a brewery. Let's back up on credentialing the good doctor who has probably carefully worded his affiliation with medicine in every post for a reason?

It was the best of times. It was the blurst of times.

The coroner? Ah, I'm so sick of that guy!

Fun fact: the quarantines exist to flatten the Lifer curve, not eliminate the virus.

Would this qualify as another patented GMG Frisclosure?

I am the fire starter. I am the instigator.

The letter was issued on Friday, Feb 21, but, based on a Google News search, the first coverage appeared yesterday, Feb. 25. Why did the lamestream media sit on this? Is Mattress Mack once again wielding his influence over our program to make sure you potentially brown your khakis?

Much like the banner over SMU, I like to think this thread not only opened eyes around here, but finally set the wheels in motion that led the FDA to start addressing the elephant in the room. https://www.fda.gov/inspections-compliance-enforcement-and-criminal-investigations/warning-letters/jimmy-johns-franchise-llc-599962-02212020 In short, the explanation for why we always shit our pants in big games may have been more easily explained than anyone ever thought and we should not rest until there is not a single franchise location in Denton. (Also, you think the Iowa ties in this letter were really a coincidence?)

Need a follow up article on Samantha Mangino's response to this news ASAP.

Based on the 10+ posts you've made about it so far, this is a very aspirational group of untrue sentences. If you're gonna get mad online, really go for it.

Sounds like you have an issue with the people who raised him. Maybe there's a way you all could connect directly?

Yikes!

What about this one? Why is it unofficial? Did you fall in the shower and forget?

Those people are way too happy to be regular posters.
