I can think of all sorts of reasons why one might lie about being COVID-19 positive. Upcoming debates, losing election fears, wanting to generate sympathy.

Maybe it’s real. I hate to be this cynical, but I guess we’ll see.
If it is real, then Trump shared a stage with @JoeBiden just yesterday.

Think of all the other people that will have been exposed because Trump does not wear masks and encourages super spreader events.

This is awful if its a lie. It’s awful if its the truth.
The really bad news about Trump being “quarantined” is that it’s gonna be him and his damned phone, non-stop.

Looks like the unlimited storage that Google promised my university a couple years ago is being discontinued, and the entire institution is being limited to 100TB… I can fill that 5 times over with our data.
This is precisely why I continued to maintain our own servers as a proper investment of taxpayer dollars.

This feels like Google Reader all over again.
This apparently is effective April 29th. Had I gone down that road, I would have effectively had a couple of months to figure out how to migrate .5 PB of data to a new solution on top of the grant deadline I need to make.

God help us if Google decides to kill Google Scholar.

One late night, @robertmarc60 and I were walking after dinner and were accosted by someone on the street.

We kept walking and he got in our faces and said “Hey, you too good for me? You too good for a New Yorker?” to which I yelled $&CK off! Is that New York enough for you?!?!?"
My favorite New York story is the one where my then 90 year old grandma who spent her childhood in New York, gets on a bus where she is trying to find her old neighborhood (circa 1903).
Grandma starts chatting up the bus driver who turns around, shakes her head, and tells my grandmother that she is on the wrong bus, and this bus did not go to that neighborhood.

This is important. Make sure you click through and read to understand what I’ve been on about for the last 6yrs wrt modular NIH funding.

With no adjustment for inflation in two decades, we now have 55.5% of the purchasing power that we had in 2001 for biomedical research grants.
The implications of this are huge.

1) Scientists are having to hold *multiple* R01 grants just to keep on the treadmill.

2) This increases the risk of losing a grant non-linearly, resulting in destabilization of the discovery process.
3) Junior scientists applying for their first R01 need to understand that they *cannot* do the same amount of work that their mentors/predecessors did on the same grant mechanisms 20 years ago, or even 10 years ago.

4) Study sections need to recognize this and adjust accordingly

Dealing with someone trying to get a COVID test here in Utah this morning...

The hoops they are having to jump through, just to try and get the test scheduled reveals precisely why our COVID case numbers are waaaaaay lower than my models suggest they are.

This is nuts.
We should be testing to saturation here, particularly given that we *know* people can be asymptomatic and still shed virus.
I hear from colleagues at @UCLA that employees on campus are getting screened twice/week whether they have symptoms or not.

How does one normally handle a sociopath?

Should it be different, that the sociopath is the President of the United States?
P.S. Who put on his makeup for this outing? He clearly has makeup on.

Is it self applied? If not, who is the makeup person risking their life for this?
Trump was not discharged from medical care. He was transferred to the White House with a still active and raging COVID infection.

Think of all the people that work in the White House. Cleaners. Food service workers. Valets.

These people do not have infectious disease training.

I will say that personal experience with dexamethasone was interesting.

After blowing out my back and getting surgery to decompress nerve roots, my doc said: “you’re gonna feel really good. I’ve loaded you full of dexamethasone... so be cool. Take it easy and don’t be stupid”.
Looks like the dexamethasone is kicking is kicking in…
Watching the video of Trump re-entering the White House makes me wonder if his physician has noted that Trump is not following advice.

I don’t know what the dosage is, but Trump is going to run into dexamethasone crash, and if it coincides with COVID viral spike, it could be bad
