When I drive these empty roads I keep imagining the zombies coming out of the woods. Too much nonsense TV.... Or is it

Jeez. What were y’all planning to do? By a kilo?

We went to Jamaica on our 20th and thought we'd go back.. but changed our minds.. might still go.. maybe late this year.. 😟

Go to Russia. Pandemic doesn’t seem to be hitting them yet.

My county (Surry, NC) will be shutting down the interstate exits to all non-residents. They said that there has been a large number of vehicles riding around the county with NY, NJ and Florida plates. Best to keep the Yankee riff raff out. Probably riding around looking to scoop up our beloved roadkill.

you're right.
I'm better off right here...HA!

"A Buick."

It ain't the Zombies that will get you. It's the blue haired old lady on a toilet paper run.

Congrats on 25, Drafter!!!

I might... depends on if I skipped lunch that day.

With factories shut down, people staying home, and sheltering in place... the corona virus has done more for the environment in a couple weeks than Greta Thunberg ever did. 😰

Just saying... 🤣

Congratulations on your 25th Drafter!
Make sure to spend some quality quarantine time together...

Happy Anniversary -25 years is remarkable - my 25th is next year, I hear the wives are up for sainthood.

Yours might get to be pope even!

Congrats to both of you...

Well we will have a new baby boom in 8-12 months😁

Congrats to you both. =d>




Howdy dowdy peeps..............🙄

Congrats, Drafter!

Wife and I did our 10yr in Jamaica. Several local folks expressed amazement anyone would stay together that long.

There are no popes in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

We could all use some GOOD news about this, right?

GOOD NEWS BIT #1:

Well, here's a positive thing I failed to mention earlier. You know that French study where hydroxychloriquine and azithromycin together cured 100% of people after 5-6 days?

I mentioned it was hastily done and had many inadequacies (only 6 people got the two-drug combo and were cured, it was non-randomized and non-blinded, etc.)

Those are fairly dim clouds cast over the study, however, if you look at the statistical analysis, things get much brighter. "Significance" is generally agreed to begin when a result is 20-to-1 against chance (meaning there's only a 1 out of 20 probability that it happened randomly and the effect indicated is not real).

This study is 10,000-to-1 against chance. This means the probability of the study's findings being wrong (which would mean that two-drug combo is not effective) is THE SAME as the probability of you walking into a store and buying just a single "Pick 4" lottery ticket (the kind with four digits each from 0-9) and matching the drawn number perfectly.

GOOD NEWS BIT #2:

Remember I mentioned Africa having a very low infection rate, possibly because they use chloroquine / hydroxychloriquine widely for prevention and treatment of malaria?

Turns out it isn't just Africa. Southeast Asia and South America also use the drug widely for the same reason.

Guess who also has almost no COVID-19 cases? Yeah, Southeast Asia and South America. It's not just one data point (Africa) now, it's three, which is a considerably stronger confidence level.

Hence my optimism about the two-drug combo. About 4-5 more days and I suspect we'll be hearing the "wow!" reports coming in from the field, even though the large-scale, tightly-controlled, formalized study's results will be months away. But if so, nobody will care much about the formal study, it'll be "off to the races" with mass deployment for curing and possibly prevention too (given to healthcare workers first, likely, as they're at highest risk).

Is that a Cardinal rule?
