Yes let's keep arguing with over educated desk jockey doctors over who needs to prove the cost of pandemic measures.

Meanwhile, pic attached. I assign it a value of a trillion.

Can we treat the situation as serious now?
Me: The building's on fire. Water!

Dr: No. Water has a cost that you must calculate before you get any.

Me: But it's obvious it's far less than the fire!!

Dr: Oh, foolish lay person. Medicine is evidence-based now.

Me: Wait, but YOU didn't have to calc-

[building collapses]
I now assign the cost of the pandemic a value of one hundred trillion dollars.

Serious yet?
I seem to have a thing for fires.

Chapin 1912.

Talking about droplets and airborne. To him "airborne" meant long-range as in many kilometers. Droplet could be through the air more than 1 or 2 m. Plus, he said study it more! We have failed to do that.

Quick thread.
12 foot droplets? I guess they shrunk over the years.

Also, ring worm may be through air.
Page 281. Plague. Droplets means through air over distance, but not long-range.

Note that MASKS WORKED.

Banks must not mislead, and customers signing for overdrafts and debts must receive independent legal advice (Bank of Montreal v Hancock, 1982)

A thread ⬇️ crookston.ca/wp/2021/02/15/…
An old, but interesting, case. Banks must ensure that customers that are taking on debt and signing guarantees for the loans of others are fully apprised of the situation, and receive independent legal advice (Bank of Montreal v Hancock, 1982. See canlii.org/en/on/onsc/doc…)

In 1974, husband's account was turned into a joint account with wife. She understood for convenience. She did not know it was substantially in overdraft. She did not ask for overdraft privileges.

More reasons Vietnam has done so well in this.

They learned from SARS! Imagine that.

So what's the doubling rate then?
On a rough eyeball, it sure looks like 7 days to me: Image
What's the rate? That's an actual question.

Ah, opening up yet another random PDF on my computer and spending 5 minutes skimming it. Yet another hit

This time, we will learn that influenza can transmit as aerosols through the air and infect at very low TCID50s (low dose).

Let's go!

From 1966. #influenzaisairborne!
Since we discovered flu is a virus, we wanted to know how it transmitted. Studies found through the air, but used high doses.

So authors wanted to go low.

No, not like that. Low dose.
Authors used a system that approximated coughs, etc.

Outbreak report about the Wisconsin summer camp (an overnight camp) at which there was a 76% infection rate has now been ADDED to the timeline of infections.

its-airborne.org/covid19-timeli…

[ed: 76% attack rate sure doesn't look like your grandpa's flu now does it?]
If you click on any of the pictures, or links in the text, you go straight to the report itself.

So this timeline can be used as a summary of outbreak reports. Same with the history timeline.
[ed: By the way flu attack rates vary widely. On a plane in 1974 where the plane was stopped for 4 hours on the tarmac flu spread with an attack rate of 72%.

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/463858/

So, again, many "experts" are repeating talking points. Flu is not even your grandpa's flu.]
