J and J is an older technology. It uses 4G, and just doesn't have the bandwidth of the newer 5G. /s

Same logic that keeps non-essential businesses open during a pandemic. A large portion of the country does not care if you die or become disabled. Some don't care if same happens to themselves....

Yep. Snow cover was minimal at 7800 that year. The deep base tried to start in Dec, then it never dumped again for months. Think it was Feb or Mar before there was enough base at the base condos it...

Some pilots say "Engines turn or people swim"

My take is that without vaccination, the British variant should outcompete the SA variant. With NPI pressure sufficient to contain the British variant, the SA variant will decline to very low levels...

Y'all millennials sure whine a lot about liftlines. Here's a newsflash from the 80s. Skiing is super fun! A 40 minute liftline used to be somewhat normal, even at places hardly anyone goes like...

Doublemasking.... besides some n95s, none of my masks are anywhere near sealing to my face. As such, I doubt they filter much. Wearing 2 or 10 will not make them seal any better. It's a...

Practically, yes. It takes time for the virus to multiply up to high enough levels where it's likely to transmit. Typically I think 3-5 days is more common, and it can be 10 sometimes too.
...

And what's with the new NWS radar? Its ok for a static, current image, but horribly slow at animating.

I think CDC is saying something like this. I also think the evidence shows about 20% are infectious after 10 days. Sorry, no reference handy. Some international or national health body should have...

Myocarditis (heart injury) in 60% of post-Covid athletes. Study shows

Somewhere after the 51 minute mark, Dr. Seheult says usual treatment...

Q sez there's a storm coming. Trust the plan.

I haven't seen my docs. Two want blood work, but I'm not going inside for a draw. I'll take a small health risk from no test over a small death risk plus a small health risk. Maybe if we got back to...

I've seen far too many pictures of vaccine given indoors. Some regions (CA) have 1% infectious population. If there's 5-10 people in that room handling paperwork and giving shots, there's 5-10%...

That'll get your attention.

Maybe it answers MF's question too.

I continue to believe a lockdown (ala Wuhan) is the logical correct choice. Covid could be over in 10 weeks. However, I'm...

Id'd again?

I've seen a riblet fall off the rope. Lifty shoved it out of the way, and it popped right out, clip and all, leaving bare rope. Keep saying I'll never ride one again, but then again those old chairs...

Which overlaps with representing the people, specifically their constituents. Democracy and all that. This is the problem with lies in a democracy. Can the representatives stray far from those they...

US 7 day average is above 3k. Consistent with 22,000 deaths in a week. I feel for those affected.

Seem to be a lot of off-topic posts lately. Neurological effects from prior infection perhaps....

Doesn't look like he's even stuck. High centered?

Reminds me when I didn't know how to drive, yet still instructed some guy how to back over a 2 foot ice patch. Could not get momentum into his...

Jury selection is my guess. Low chance of getting a MAGA on the jury in DC. Somebody in the justice department said they'd be charged in their home districts. Trump's not as dumb as the lefties like...

There was a mountain of hearings. There was even an impeachment. And there were enablers who failed their leadership duty, blocking action in the name of conservative politics. Politics is fun, I get...

Need to see a few more corps on that list. And I expect someone will post the "naughty" list as it becomes available. I'm happy to take my business elsewhere.

Yep. And it's best that Parler and friends remain in business until evidence holds are in place.

Sorry for misunderstanding. We're human, eh

The FBI is surely watching a few persons of interest. However, this is a country of liberty, a principle widely respected at all levels and institutions, especially so in government. For example,...

I understand the sentiment but it is wrong. This is why we have charges, courts, judges, and juries. And a large body of argued precedents. To make our best effort to sort the bystanders from the...

Yes. Thinking exactly that (or name your favorite genocide). Some of them are that far gone. And they are too blind to see themselves as the very thing they claim to hate - planning a massacre of the...

Some hope

For too many people, they are real. As is everything in that screed KQ posted. Too many think it's their patriotic duty to overthrow the government, or rather in their minds to ensure that corrupt...

I went and read the previous pages. It's covered. Do the crime, do the time.

Imma misquote Trump on this one - there's serious problems on both sides. The lefties* are way too sanctimonious about which topics can be honestly debated. In an era of great social change, that...

There's a thought virus going around too... widespread infections, immune system unable to clear it.

Yes, it is even possible to oppose violence in all its forms.

Too many lefties are blind to bathrooms, job exports, and banksters.

Wet blanket here. There's also non specific effects of vaccination to consider. Early in the pandemic, I posted a Russian virologist suggesting we vaccinate using an old polio vaccine for short term...

Walmart can be closed (to the public), and should be. Curbside and delivery only. I've picked up everything from Walmart, never been inside. It's easy. They even have an app.

As for opening small...

One of you made me look at a paper with an empirical formula. IIRC, it assumed we could predict the real infection rate based on the measured infection rate and the positivity. They assumed it would...

From the reddits about England's variant

It's quite miraculous the way things grow. Tiny seeds become giant plants ready for harvest in mere months. While a farmer tends his crops or animals, the tending is mere tinkering, most of the...

"Moderate infection rates in the Bay Area." A great example of how our relative standards change. In the one month of December, Bay Area deaths are roughly equivalent (per capita) to deaths in the...

I'd acclimatize lower, in the 3-5000 range (between Pine Grove and Ham's). "Climb high, sleep low" as the mountaineers say. If he can handle 8000, sure, do that, but you're asking to be puking at...

Recent TWiVs where monoclonals are discussed. If you and your doc decide to go this way, Dr. Griffin's calm voice may help you feel good about it. He sees Covid patients in NYC, and seems like a pro...

FYI, the monoclonal antibodies are somewhat more available than expected. Theoretically best taken very early in disease course. There is some controversy whether they are useful, though dear leader...

Hit it with a 5G directed energy blast, and finish with the old bash the brains. Times change, it remains tough being a human.

I'm really concerned about new tech too. I still remember the good old days when we discovered rocks can crack open acorns. We should dump all this modern tech that's clearly used for evil, and go...

This - Exponential compound growth seems to be widely misunderstood. Even people who I think would understand it, like virologists and businessmen misunderstand its implications. Uncontrolled Covid...
