Remember folks, science can *never* prove something is true, it can only prove something is false, and like Sherlock, whatever is left standing must be true (until we prove even that false)
@1000Frolly is saying that the data proves a hypothesis false… I see science at work And if you want to explore some of the ways data can support @1000Frolly claiming a hypothesis is false, I suggest you have a look at the radiosonde data. Plot molar density against pressure and explain how you always get two linear regions (and sometimes a third)…

Gompertz fitting Irish testing data... the promised thread

As a reminder here's an animation showing (top left) the two wave hypothesis parameters from July 7th for various smoothing widths... 1/n If this fit is accurate then it means that every wave in Ireland has had a Gompertz rate constant, k, of 0.10±0.01/day... and I've looked at other countries like USA, Isreal, Australia, etc... every isolated wave without overlaps fits a Gompertz with k=0.10/day 🤯 2/n

Two points:
1. If not properly fitted it’s not doing anything at all
2. If properly fitted then a MODEL virus… not a real one mind, a MODEL, maybe has viral loads reduced… What is the model? bacteriophage PhiX174

At least they’re using an actual virus… which is better than a bunch of other studies I’ve seen…

I might disagree with @ClareDalyMEP on two or three topics, but as a TD she would always respond to emails with an obviously non-boilerplate response faster than the other 4 in Fingal. Representatives should listen to their constituents, and Clare has repeatedly demonstrated that Look at the timestamps on this example, I sent my email at 09:12 and @ClareDalyMEP had responded 35 minutes later… i sent the same email to the other TDs in Dublin north and Clare’s response time beat the pants off the rest Image
