So, 7 days and we've doubled twice and THEN some. 2.5k * 2 = 5 * 2 = 10k I KNOW its hard for you to understand, but we're actually moving FASTER than what I said a week ago.

All this time and you still don't get exponential growth. We may miss that mark I made. I hope we do. But to act like one week into the projection that we're somehow looking good to do so ignores all the data at hand. I never said we were hitting 150k in 3 weeks though. I was pointing out how the doubling time makes a 100k prediction to be appropriate for the short term. Nothing in the past week has changed that.

I know it said 3 weeks, and I know it’s been a week, that’s why I said two weeks from now. But yeah I’m the one with a reading problem :lol

Why is it so difficult for you to admit your prediction a week ago wasn’t even close even after being shown the leading model (which was terrible to begin with and keeps keeps revising down) wasn’t even in your ballpark and it runs through August :lol and not two weeks from your prediction end date.

We all know BigCorp lobbyist whore in the EPA have gutted air, water, land anti-pollution regs, which will result 10Ks with disease and death.

The evidence is coming in. Air pollution damages lungs, more EPA air pollution means more damaged lungs.

Our First Evidence People Exposed to Pollution Are More Likely to Die From Coronavirus

Health experts had suspected the coronavirus pandemic would kill more people in areas where there’s higher air pollution.

Now, they have preliminary data to back it up.

found that just a small increase in long-term air pollution exposure led to a 15 percent rise in the covid-19 death rate.

“I think every aspect of our society should be prepared,” he added later. “I don’t think it’s going to come to that, especially with the fact that we’re going down, not up. We’re going very substantially down, not up.”

Israeli COVID-19 treatment shows 100% survival rate - preliminary data

Six critically ill coronavirus patients in Israel who are considered high-risk for mortality have been treated with Pluristem’s placenta-based cell-therapy product and survived, according to preliminary data provided by the Haifa-based company.
The patients were treated at three different Israeli medical centers for one week under the country’s compassionate use program and were suffering from acute respiratory failure and inflammatory complications associated with COVID-19. Four of the patients also demonstrated failure of other organ systems, including cardiovascular and kidney failure.

Not only have all the patients survived, according to Pluristem, but four of them showed improvement in respiratory parameters and three of them are in the advanced stages of weaning from ventilators. Moreover, two of the patients with preexisting medical conditions are showing clinical recovery in addition to the respiratory improvement.

“We are pleased with this initial outcome of the compassionate use program and committed to harnessing PLX cells for the benefit of patients and healthcare systems,” said Pluristem CEO and president Yaky Yanay. “Pluristem is dedicated to using its competitive advantages in large-scale manufacturing to potentially deliver PLX cells to a large number of patients in significant need.”

Pluristem’s PLX cells are “allogeneic mesenchymal-like cells that have immunomodulatory properties,” meaning they induce the immune system’s natural regulatory T cells and M2 macrophages, the company explained in a previous release. The result could be the reversal of dangerous overactivation of the immune system. This would likely reduce the fatal symptoms of pneumonia and pneumonitis (general inflammation of lung tissue).

Previous preclinical findings regarding PLX cells revealed significant therapeutic effects in animal studies of pulmonary hypertension, lung fibrosis, acute kidney injury and gastrointestinal injury.

Pluristem plans to apply for initiation of a multinational clinical trial for the treatment of complications associated with coronavirus, the release said, noting that it will no longer report on its compassionate use trials but rather on the status and progress of its contemplated clinical trial. The company is already in discussions with regulators in the United States and Europe to “define our clinical strategy for COVID-19,” Yanay added.

1. You still don't understand exponential growth.

2. You don't understand what I said 1 week ago.

3. You don't understand that the rate I was talking about 1 week ago is slower than what is happening in reality.

4. You don't know how to interpret that model.

That's why its so hard to admit I'm wrong. Because you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Sad. Worst part of our culture is how incentivized people are to cut corners and take shortcuts at the expense of safety.

Harris is right. The President shouldn't be advocating for any specific treatment up there. He has no fucking idea what he's talking about. There's a reason Fauci is way more reserved when discussing it. Maybe it helps. I hope it does. But that doesn't mean POTUS should be even talking about it up there much less acting like a medical professional. But thats how he is. Just endless bullshit spewed from his mouth.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has abruptly switched its guidance for use of a drug touted by President Donald Trump as a possible treatment for COVID-19, dropping its reference to anecdotal dosages to say simply that there are no approved drugs for dealing with the disease.

The CDC's online advice for hydroxychloroquine was updated April 7, three days after Reuters reported that the CDC was offering what the news agency called "highly unusual guidance" for the drug's use based on "unattributed anecdotes rather than peer-reviewed science."

The updated, and shortened, guidance says simply that "hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are under investigation in clinical trials” for use on coronavirus patients and "there are no drugs or other therapeutics approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to prevent or treat COVID-19."

The CDC originally told Reuters that the earlier guidance was crafted for doctors at the request of a White House coronavirus task force, which had urged prompt action.

Not surprising in the least. I just wish we'd hear something about the Live Oak nursing home that shared workers with the place since that's pretty close to where I live.

A lifetime ago I was taking prerequisites for Physical Therapy while working as an assistant at a SA Rehab facility. So I know a lot of therapist's. Most all of them have moved to home health since that is where decent salaries are at now. They are good people but from listening to them talk about their companies over the years it is clear that the owner's of these companies are peices of shit who don't care about their people or patients.

Not to get into a political debate but I'll just say well intended policies have driven that change in the name of cost efficiency. Those unintended consequences.

The model of demanding YOY revenue increase and meeting - beating YOY means that, when there's not enough new money coming in, the numbers have to be padded by internal cannibalism. Imagine how much profit you could show if you didn't pay any of your bills for 3 months. Wow we have all this money... we beat projections for spending and capital (and we creatively relabeled some of it revenue). Almost always given in a pro forma statement.
