The short answer is that variants have been found and are being used to track transmission. This work is being led by the Hutch and it's just an amazing body of work so far. More than 800 samples sequenced, clustered and mapped.

No data exists to date to correlate specific genomic variants with infectivity or severity. It's just too soon and has to be done retrospectively.

I am. Girls are spending most of their time at grandmas and my wife, who has never been sick a day in her life, is convinced she’s immune. She may be right.

Chinese Rat Flu
We are toilet paper rich.
8 hurricane seasons in Houston taught me to be prepared at all times.
Right before the whole thing blew up, I got enough everything for us to sustain 2-4 weeks.
Also put an online grocery delivery order before there was no slot left.
We just got water delivery today, so we are good on water for another month.
We also have friends and neighbors around us keep bringing things to our door.
People are unbelievably kind and supportive.
I always appreciated people deliver things to our place.
But now these people are literally keeping us alive.
I have a whole new appreciation level for delivery folks.
They said I won the context and offered hookers and blow.
I kindly declined.

Nutmeg best wishes and thanks for sharing. Somehow hadn't realized till this afternoon that your were working through this.
To me the best way wipe is a few snowballs. Beyond that a hundred different ways exist to get it clean. It makes zero sense to me why people hoard toilet paper.

Local Update for Charlotte, NC:
We have 142 confirmed cases. So far, 1 out of 5 are requiring hospitalization.
Not good news. It’s about to blow up here.
going by doubling every four days that would be 4500 by Easter with 900+ hospitalized.
Surely the hospitalization rate will decline, but those numbers are just Mecklenburg county. Doesn’t include, all the surrounding counties, that our CLT hospitals largely serve.

Throw the book at him. What’s the latest on the kids coughing on stuff at the stores and YouTubing? Hopefully they stamped that out.

That's a super random post. But yeah, can be.
Negative, Mailman.
I've ferried an empty 757 a few times - as in just the two of us. There aren't really computers on that machine. Ours didn't even have gps. Even during normal ops we'd routinely hand fly it below ten thousand feet on visual days.
@stuckathuntah, if the runway isn't flat, it's really bumpy on the t.o. roll because the nose wheel is so far behind you, and there's nothing holding it down. Once the gear is up you just start pointing it to the sky. It's like being in the dentist's chair. At flaps up @ 250 kts it climbs with the old school VSI pegged at the top - which is 6000 fpm. That's more than 60 miles per hour straight up. Going through 10000 ft and running it right up to the barber pole, the vsi is still pegged if you're light enough.
I've ferried a B73/8ng a few times as well. Not as kick you in the ass with brute power as the 75, but sightseeing along the coast and through the mountains might have occurred.

Huckbucket--really appreciate your posting the graphs every day. Best graphic AFAIC. That US graph has really flattened out--guess it's time to call off the lockdown.

Damn. i never gave your username much thought until just now. Makes me laugh thinking.
And on that note, about a week ago KQ was starting to panic and I wanted to post this as a joke at the time
But instead I and others got a bit judgy and we haven't seen her since.
I am sorry and I hope you're doing okKQ cause you're one of this forum's bright spots.
edit-this isn't an attempt to get you to come back to this thread. You do what makes you happy. I know I have to get away from here because of the toxicity of constant bad news.powdork.com - new and improved, with 20% more dork.

I know most of you are far left leaning, but are you not a little pissed at Pelosi’s act with the CV19 relief bill? I mean come on...
