A lot of OH YAY I CAN DO ANYTHING I WANT NOW THAT I'M VACCINATED today.

I looked at the CDC guidelines. I'm not going to change much.
cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…
The page is too long, so people are pulling out their favorite parts and running with that.

This is the part that is causing the most problems. What You Can Start to Do If you’ve been fully vaccinated:
Let me be clear: the conjunction "if" means "under the condition that". Do not ignore it.

The word "except" means "not in these cases."
What I have been doing and will continue to do:

Use no mask when I am out with the cats. We stay within our yard, and there are no other people around. If someone (delivery people) arrives, I stay at least ten feet away.
Since my piano teacher and other friends have been fully vaccinated, we do not use masks when we are with each other. We meet one at a time.

I have been to a restaurant once with one friend and kept my mask on except when we were eating.
AT ALL OTHER TIMES I AM OR MAY BE AROUND PEOPLE, I WEAR A MASK.

I will not be taking questions at this time.

Back when I started contracting for environmental restoration, I was surprised to receive bids from "Beltway bandits" who had no experience in what they were proposing. 1/
Colleagues explained that this was common practice. If they won the contract, they would then subcontract to others, while retaining their percentage. 2/
The Beltway bandits knew how to work the system, how to write the proposals better than firms that actually knew how to do the work.

My preference was for the firms that actually knew how to do the work. 3/

I think I've found the problem.

General Gustave Perna was nominated by President Trump to be COO for Operation Warp Speed on May 18. He was confirmed by the Senate on July 2. A month and a half. 1/

Huh. I see this tweet has been deleted, as has the one for #85. Some good comments, so I won't delete it. Maybe I need to do screenshots from here on.

I guess we might as well go for the obvious

"But the messaging behind all of this is crap. It presents mask-wearing as something cool that men can individually do in order to be rugged heroes, deserving of accolades for their brave, manly choices."

Act I: Donald Trump withdraws from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, in which Iran agreed to give up all work that could lead to nuclear weapons.
whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…
Experts warned that this withdrawal would give up leverage on Iran.

Act II: The remaining members of the JCPOA stay with it and try to make it work. The US begins "maximum pressure," reinstating sanctions that Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo believe will make Iran bend to their will.

Iran does not bend to their will.

Rant on modeling

1. There are a hundred gazillion models out there. Few of their owners have bothered to compare their model to others to see what is working and what isn't.
2. By the standards of the models I've worked with, they are all simple - a few differential equations, a curve fit. I've worked with a hundred or more elementary reactions and then a mass- and heat-transfer model that incorporated those in. (Hint: we had to boil them down to six
3. The only model I have seen that is at all transparent about its parameters is the Imperial College model. All the others I have seen are curve fits. They mumble about social distancing as a variable, but never say which parameter it fits into.

The worst is beginning to happen in New York City. It will probably get worse over the next couple of weeks. The people who are dying now were infected two to three weeks ago. 1/
New York is the first. These scenes will wash across the United States. Some of it may be mitigated by the lockdowns now occurring. Their full effects will not be felt for two or three weeks. 2/
The President of the United States has a show every day for his underlings to praise him and to tell us what a great job he is doing. And to urge that the shutdown end.

The tv channels are beginning to think that maybe they should not be carrying The Coronavirus Show live.
