Re. Personal Morals.
The truth is as the facts stand....
I play black and white moral brain tennis with myself daily... Point being, I don't like coming face-to-face with my true self and my humane moral judgement. We are all on a sinking ship. If we don't man the pumps and row together we're all going to go down. Who do we save on the sinking ship first, who lives and who perishes? Technology can lift us all off this sinking ship. But its not being released into the public domain. Why?...

Re. Over population.
Some of the younger generation in our local area have chosen not to have children... noble in their cause; sad as they reach retirement without children...

I look for solutions to worldly problems with answers daily... My wife says I should stop worrying about everyone else and worry about my own problems...

...

Technology alone won't have that effect. It is also technology that made nuclear melt down possible, as did oil spill, and cyber bullying.

China is doing what they can to shut down cities, what will the rest of the world do? Because "it will never happen to me" runs heavy in ppls' minds.

This can be a test that tell who truly walk the talk. Virus don't care if you are affluent or is a influencer. You know it's funny, years ago we were more reasonable, but too much reason has become excuses. Too much logic and innovation has become tool for manipulation...

Anyways, not to paint this any darker...

While there could be a malicious theory behind all this. This could be simply been a issue of gamblers overconfidence. They didn't know the odds, they think they could do the study but Completely underestimated the risk.

What I would be interested is why bats? What was so particular they would risk to conduct simulated study...




Dont answer.

Its Batman.

(dark knight rises came out in 2012), one of the patent citation was in 2013, that means interest and work has started along the time line of the trilogy...

THANK YOU HOLLYWOOD!

Coronavirus live updates: Americans are warned coronavirus spread is not a matter of if, but when

Number of infected Globally surpasses 80,000.
Number of deaths nearing 3,000.


The hype about this disease is kind of mind boggling. I understand there's no vaccine and what not, but is it really worth getting so worked up over another "common cold".??
I was listening to Sanjay Gupta, and he shifted my view of this virus. One thing he said that struck me was, "There are 61 million people infected EVERY YEAR with the Flu virus", and only about 1/10th of 1% (.001) result in death (60 thousand), and it's been that way for a while (decades). The information he cited was gathered between 2010 and now.

If we look back in history we find that there are far more deadly viruses that have infected humans.

*1331 - 1353 = Black Death, Estimates up to 200 Million died, or 30 - 60% of the population of Europe, Asia, and North Africa.

* Small Pox wiped out almost 70% of the Native Americans (no actual number given).

* The Flu Pandemic of 1918 claimed anywhere from 40 - 100 Million lives.

* Since 1981, an estimated 30 million people have died from HIV/AIDS.

* 1957 - 1958 Claimed the lives of 2 Million during the Asian Flu Epidemic.

Mmmmm... There something wrong with that point of view.

Its only 80,000, psssh. Weak virus, whatever! Go home and be a real virus.

Black death man, that's the real thing.

Life and its inevitable nature that we suffer and die, why even try. I'd like to see what he says should he encounters it. Anyone can be a hero behind a screen. I understand one shouldnt panic about it, but to not take this seriously is wrong as well.

Its Only 80,000 because of global awareness with Authorities getting involved. Don't forget that.
Unless you dont want intervention?

Ok, the 61 million infected every year. Right, that's with known common flu. I dont want another set of number to add on to that. This is NOT TINKERBELL, or Beetlejuice. This is not that monster if you dont think about it goes away, doesnt work that way.


I wouldnt consider this as hype. If in the 1950's there was this technology and this amount of intervention, it wouldnt have been 2 millions lost.

As to the "hype," what did you expect, social media brah.

Also if you want to talk about wrongfully hyped.

Kobe's Memorial video everywhere(wondering if those videos wer monetized) and then his signature shoe price jumped 250% on ebay...

Was the real thing. It is easily treatable if caught early. It is a bacteria and susceptible to treatment with antibiotics. Back in the Middle Ages they did not have antibiotics. It is carried by rats and other rodents such as ground squirrels. The vector is fleas. Control the rodent population or the fleas and you prevent the disease. At one time Caliente, CA, a small community about 25 to 30 miles east of Bakersfield saw 1 to 3 cases every years until the county started an aggressive program of night time aerial spraying to control the fleas.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

KINDA off topic,

How many get a yearly shots for flu OR the latest 'outbreak'?


I haven't had a 'flu' shot in 18yrs. The reason I stopped was I got the flu 1.5days later and had NOT been around anyone with the symptoms.

I have had colds.. no high fevers.. runny nose but cared for by nasal wash..

no FLU (knock on my skull)

now being a 'road warrior' for all those years.. + having diabetes .. one would think I would have gotten something..

daycares - doc in da box - pedi clinics

but I do follow proper hygiene when out *not OCD about it *

I am also one who does not get a flu shot. Through life I have at times been exposed to a number of diseases but never contracted. My senior year of high school we had an exchange student who developed an active case of tuberculosis. I sat near him in three different classes. They skin tested the entire school. Came back negative.

One year while taking the annual achievement test, the school had students out with flu, measles and mumps. It was at the point where 3 more absences and they would have to close for a week. The testing was done in the dining room of the cafeteria. By the end of the week the four people sitting closest to me on Monday were all out sick

As standard practise, copier service techs around the world should add disinfecting the copier to their task list.

Something like:

Lysol Disinfectant Spray, Crisp Linen, 539g, Disinfect and Eliminate Odours on Hard Surfaces & Fabrics: Amazon.ca: Health & Personal Care

Much stronger hospital grade disinfectants are available.

and adding to their tool kit hand sanitizer, some surgical masks and plastic gloves.

Mmm no. Wonder how these germs feel about WD40?
Immune system can only learn by exposure to small amounts of bad stuff.
This corona virus is something else so i would try and avoid that.

Wonder how the costumers will react if i get my gloves and mask on before working on the machine.
Whats next a full on hazmed suite?
