    I like that confidence.
    Which is why I like science.
    If you dont point out YOUR OWN weaknesses in a conjecture, its on you.
    Because someone else will on you.

    If politicians would only do this with proposals and people could accept the skepticism as thoughtful.
    But no, its a W or L. On a sports board. Totally binary and arbitrary.

    Btw I did not point out my own weakness in the argument because I just dont know enough.
    Or I know enough to know I dont know.

    Always a fun place to be. I know enough physics to know I don't know a lot of physics. I know enough Japanese to know I don't know a lot of Japanese. Biology though, no ing clue outside of knowing a little bit about differential equations often used in it.

    Biology is a huge mess.
    Way too many variables to model.
    But we try and fail and sometimes get easy things correct.

    Which is why I also prefer physics without air and friction. And only really mechanics. Nothing modern, especially the General Theory, because honestly I finally figured out I could never learn the math to get the proper models into my head. You cant use words, they break down. Metaphors and similes break down. Its not like anything... This is what frustrates me about Tyson. He makes these movies and writes to give people a feeling like they know it. But, if you presented someone with a question that took synthesis of his ideas given in a book or movie, you cant answer it. He does not want to turn common folk like me off, but just say it for Gods sake.

    "You will not fully understand this because you dont have the math background, but I can illate you with these mind blowing scenarios"

    Just say it.
    We can take it.

    Before Virus Outbreak, a Cascade of Warnings Went Unheeded

    Government exercises, including one last year, made

    clear that the U.S. was not ready for a pandemic like the coronavirus. But little was done.

    "WASHINGTON — The outbreak of the respiratory virus began in China and

    was quickly spread around the world by air travelers, who ran high fevers.

    In the United States, it was first detected in Chicago, and 47 days later, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic.

    By then it was too late:

    110 million Americans were expected to become ill,

    leading to 7.7 million hospitalized and

    586,000 dead."

    That scenario, code-named “Crimson Contagion” and imagining an influenza pandemic, was simulated by the Trump administration’s Department of Health and Human Services in

    a series of exercises that ran from last January to August.


    The simulation’s sobering results —
    contained in a draft report dated October 2019 that has not previously been reported — drove home just

    how underfunded,

    underprepared and

    uncoordinated the federal government

    would be for a life-or-death battle with a virus for which no treatment existed.

    Was this secret report made available to Dems? Will the Dems bash Trash and his Exec for it failings?

    I guarantee you, the Repugs and the right wing hate media would scream and yell at the Dems

    Trump Dodges Accountability For Medical Supply Crisis By Blaming States

    Despite the federal government’s vastly greater resources,

    the president insisted state governments need to find their own solutions as the coronavirus spreads.

    Heh, now that you think about it, "social distance" is sort of their national trait, as is cleanliness, although not to the extreme as the Japanese.

    When I worked in Germany, I was treated warmly. Germans took their weekend time off to show me around, invite me into their homes.

    FK still bitter about the Nazis, but loves Pootin and the Communists.

    germans are boring as

    wake up, eat a baked potato, work, go for a bike/hike, go home eat a baked potato, sleep

    thats why they will be the last country standing

    Having the intellectual honesty to Pointing out the weakness in your case.

    Wouldn't that be refreshing here?

    Makes me wonder about why so few conservatives types are scientists.

    Modern conservatives never admit weaknesses in their case, if they are even aware of it. They cherry pick and strawman as a matter of habit. Concealing and distorting is just the way they argue and think, neither of which goes down well in a scientific setting. It's almost as if dishonesty is part of their self-iden y.

    SA lab’s testing platform was approved for COVID 19 testing. 1150 tests per 24 hr, 3-4 hr turn around time. Just need the swabs.

    You'd think our government would have put something in place after Katrina. Three administrations failed us.

    After the middle class and SMBs are genocided because of this, is this enough of a wakeup call to abolish these two underperfoming parties?
