You Sir won the interwebz for this week. A well placed TOOL reference based on both logic and understanding of the referenced material. We salute you. May your camels always wander back to the watering hole, and your favorite beer always be "todays special."

I've been trying to provide a little actual medical information, scientific evidence, and logic, but it seems lost in translation.

So, see you down in Arizona Bay.

Forget the boat - go to Tahiti. Bora Bora or Moorea. Moorea is bigger with more to do, but Bora Bora was my favorite. Go June to Sept and there's almost no rain; the highs and lows don't vary - 80 day and 70 at night.

Thanks Doc, it has been appreciated. Unfortunately, what was once a good informative thread with information sharing and solid discussions seems to have turned to total shite recently.

From my post above:

bout 81% of people who are infected with the coronavirus have mild cases of COVID-19, according to a study published Feb. 18 by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

About 13.8% report severe illness, meaning they have shortness of breath, or require supplemental oxygen, and about 4.7% are critical, meaning they face respiratory failure, multi-organ failure or septic shock.

The data thus far suggests that only around 2.3% of people infected with COVID-19 die from the virus. People who are older or have underlying health conditions seem to be most at risk of having severe disease or complications. While there's no need to panic, people should take steps to prepare and protect themselves and others from the new coronavirus


97.7% live. Thats most people. It seems to like the elderly, the young, and Bernie Sanders unclean types.

OK I understand what you meant by your original quote. Still... a 2.3% fatality rate is about 20x that of a normal flu.

Nice. Good plan. My parents went to Bora Bora and said it was basically heaven on Earth.

like 50ish k died from the flu last year in the US which is like 0.1% of actual cases. I wouldnt worry about it still though. Most deaths in China..a polluted cesspool. I'd be worried if this was dropping healthy people like flies, but it isnt.

Bloomberg is essentially blaming trump in his ads.

Fact is there is nothing anyone can do at this point. China covered the seriousness of this virus up when they initially realized what was going on.

Exactly, another situation of panic and an opportunity to blame trump. Quite convenient. This will blow over as the the other viruses have.

Yessir. Saw them in Nov. And it was the best concert I have ever been to. I am 42yo and have seen my share. The band, and production, was much better than when I saw them before, sounded even better than a Perfect Circle...and i saw APC in what used to be the Charlotte Hornets practice facility. Maybe 2000 people packed in a standing room only that wasnt much bigger than a HS basketball gym. All tix were general admission, no seats. Alas, TOOL was so amazing this time. Catch this tour if you can, Doc. They played nearly all my favorites from each of their previous albums, as well as the big 3 from the new album. They ran about 2hrs15mins...with only a 10 min intermission about halfway thru...that Danny Capped with a freestyle drum show like he is known to do. Amazing talents in the band. I never studied music...but even I know that the ease with which they pass through different rhythms and times is amazing. Helps a bunch to have the best rock drummer alive back there...if you go see them, get up close and watch Justin. I was amazed at how many solos etc he actually plays that I had attributed to Adam on lead. Justin does far more than just thump out some bass chords. He plays much more than what would ever be thought of as played by the bass player. Then Adam rips..who I believe is an underrated guitarist in his own right. Whenever I hear people reference the talent in TOOL they are always talking about Danny...but Justin and Adam are superstars in their own rights. Haha...just realized I rambled forever. Anyway...great reference Doc...and i appreciate your references and opinions as well. We hold similar beliefs, and taste in music. Glad to have you here. Go Vols

Maher: Trump Is ‘Going to Declare Martial Law’ over Coronavirus

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that when the coronavirus outbreak becomes severe, President Trump is “going to declare martial law.”

Maher said, “Now since Trump, I think, is not going to leave anyway, might as well run Bernie. He’s not. And by the way, when the virus gets bad, he’s going to declare martial law. Watch that.”
