I think there is a big disconnect between taking a class in high school because you have to and the next level stuff the biomedical experts are doing. I took a pretty STEM heavy course load in high school and I'm glad I have the general knowledge of physics, chemistry, biology and Calculus but at the end of the day most of what I learned there is gone. I wish there were more business and finance classes offered. Also this makes me think of something I remember hearing a while back. I think it was either a series of articles, or podcasts and for the life of me I cannot find out the title or the author but the general idea was. "What do I actually know to be true?". The premise was that the author took a look at things that are just completely well known scientific truths such as "the world is a globe and not flat" and asked the question, do I know this to be true because I've been told, or because I know for a fact myself? Pretty interesting concept. I'm not advocating for anyone to think the world is flat, but at the end of the day we take a lot of things for granted without actually pressing our own knowledge about it. I believe the author then did experiments and such to prove to him or herself that these widely accepted truths are indeed true. I'll see myself out of here and take it to the Psychology/Philosophy thread now.

What's it called? I'm looking to find a decent spot to get a slice at lunch every now and then.

I used to hang out with friends at a pizza shop late night because we know the owner and most of the staff and they have a killer beer selection. The regulars who would come in at 10pm inexplicably covered in dirt and/or concrete droplets and pull out wadded up ones and coins to buy keystone ice pounders were amazing. My favorite were the ones who you knew lived a few miles away and would roll up on most likely stolen bicycles to buy their beer. One would ask for his six packs to be put in separate bags so it would balance better when he hung it from the handlebars to go home.

I work with a plant down in Brazil. One of the guys I talk to frequently was seriously scared of both Covid and losing his job. Haven't heard much from him in a few weeks though.

How come you haven't tried to cut "PASR" into that luscious lawn yet?

I don't think so, but they did get the initial test when they got sick.

Some of my family members had Covid, but their situation was a tad unique I guess. My cousin was in Malawi for the past 6 months working in a hospital before he starts his residency this fall and flew home right in the beginning of this whole thing and essentially gave his entire family Coronavirus. My aunt was sick for like 2 weeks with what she described as a not so great flu and the two college aged boys were sniffly and had a fever for maybe 48 hours.

I wold love to see the demographics of these new cases. We don't seem to be seeing a major spike in deaths or hospital utilization. Hopefully these are just mild cases in those crazy youths.

One of them is near Blue Mountain and has a roof.

I've got a bridge or two I could potentially sell you if you're interested in real estate.

Lots of old folks down in Florida. Hope the hospitals are ready.

I drove past In Riva last night on Kelly Drive along the SRT and the place was absolutely packed. Every table I could see was full.

Best depiction of the data I've seen yet. Really shows that where you're seeing these "second waves" of the virus in Florida/Arizona, etc. it's really just the first wave there.

This whole thing would be a lot smoother of the Illuminati and Free Masons were on the same page about things and could work together.

Last time I was there it was full of kids.

mountainvertical.com is awesome. I can see myself spending some time looking at this site.

Predictions, chatter and nearly daily updates on Covid. Someone remember to make a note to look back and reread this thread in 10 years.

Hit the nail on the head! This is why people clamoring for a big national decree are dead wrong. It needs to be managed in individual areas completely differently.

PA killed it with the way that we handled this whole situation. Breaking it up into phases by county was a great move and I'm surprised more states didn't copy it.

Stats with more Context So in the US we are spreading it more than other countries, but we are doing a pretty good job at keeping people that get it alive. The percentage of deaths in Italy is kind of scary, though realistically it is their older population but still.

I was in center city on wednesday for a run and walked around a little bit. Didn't look like there was that much still damaged/closed, at least where I was.

I think people get it, but I also I think they are taking a calculated risk at this point, especially seeing that the death rate is actually lower than we thought and that low risk populations probably don't have to worry too much about it. I think what's really getting incredibly lost in all of this is the fact that we know one sure fire way to deal with this disease; be fit and healthy.

Does this mean it will roll through to completion sooner or does it mean an inevitable and possibly avoidable third wave?

What if we just put the PASR logo on a car for a race?

Somewhat off topic here, but I just googled Bubba Wallace, who is not the alter ego of a left handed pink driver wielding golfer, and the first page of Google had his race results for the past few times he's been out on the track. These included: Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 Folds of Honor Quiktrip 500 Food City 500 Alsco Uniforms 500 Coca-Cola 600 Now all I can wonder is how much the naming rights cost for a Nascar race. With the exception of Coca-Cola, which probably sneezed and the money for this sponsorship fell out, I can't imagine these smaller and seemingly obscure companies have huge sums of cash to just toss out there. Is it relatively cheap to sponsor a race? If so, will there be a Blue Mountain 400? Perhaps a PASR 500? Let the fundraising begin if that's the case
