The mask has been established as about 60% effective, meaning a 60% risk mitigation, and quite worthwhile if you think about it. Less effective than a seatbelt in a care sure. A vaccine is not very likely to exceed 60% efficacy but is much more anticipated and awaited, so think about that too.
I wonder what the correlation is between anti-vaccer and anti-masker, and if high, as I gues, why is it so?
ah - I see the Obama 2011 Budget bill was rejected by the senate 0-97, not even a single Democrat vote in favour. That's something I was quite unaware of.
I refer to my blog about Modern Monetary Policy, which claims a government having Monetary Sovereignty can print as much as they like. I recall that the Republicans during the Obama era with-held or threatened to with-hold funding on two occasions thus freezing the government. A similar act by the then Australian Conservative opposition in 1975 led to the dismissal of the Whitlam government. Trump too and Clinton experienced major shutdowns.
That surely would be just another Catch-22 - why didn't Yossarian try the 'intellectually unfit for duty' or 'incompetent' pleas? If you know you're a complete idiot it proves you are not. Could we say the same for a certain influential American figure, I wonder?
How about 5050 Trump!? Civilation could not survive till then, surely. Indeed 2020 Trump is contributing mightlily in a shift to the brink already. Imagine a result like Gore/Bush, and in Florida, but the reverse way.
then in close to half a century, during ths millenium certainly, you show evidence of learning nought. Let me tell you, since you proclaim your education above others, that I despise you most of all.
@JN which today might that be? I think the year will not be 2020. And no one puts a number on effectiveness, do they. Pessimists and optimists alike, I suspect around 50-50... just thinking aloud.
Indigenous people incarcerated in Australia. Shameful.
Incarcerated indigenous in USA? Hispanics in USA. Black people in USA? Guns? Murders? Ghettoes? Equality. Gini Coefficient? Where does USA stand compared to China?
William Golding came from an era in which it was worthwhile saying, the scoffers were many. Now in the era when women are better educated than the men the scoffers are fewer but louder.
On a remotely related issue, an event to celebrate is that Sudan has outlawed FGM.
so you want me likewise, out of sympathy, poor gnomish benighted soul, to bump your zeroes to one? Needless to say, this one I did not even briefly peruse
Could not verify, could not validate, purports to show, is claimed to be in China, no indication of where or when.
However China does execute more people than the rest of the world combined, but the number is unknown. Where does USA stand I wonder? Iran is way up there. Saudi. Egypt.
What percent efficacy is being claimed pre final trials? Have any numbers been published, or 'guesstimates'? Suppose it pops up at 40% effective, what would you pay for the shares? What number constitutes 'success'?
Thanks for that Melody, I've never been to South America yet, and it's likely I never will.
Along these lines though, let me mention a place I have been, that is in my memory very lovely indeed.
Jiuzhaigou (Nine fortified Village valley) in Sichuan China. I went there at the end of autumn 2007, the year before the earthquakes. Snow was heavy and the red and yellow of autumn had disappeared, but not the colour of the river lakes and waterfalls.
@mic what are you trying to say? This was already budgetted, it is no change, it is not an increase? What do you tink it means? As I said, I have already commented on the rhetoric.
Ah, I have hitherto missed Oaf and Ogre, let me add them to the quiver. I just watched the Gligoric Smyslov game won by black in 18 moves ... A strange game denuding the queen side and white never castles. I like the 'indians' as black. The English as white.
