I've had fries here in France quite a few times now and honestly... dunno what the fuss here and in Belgium is all about. They're always so limp and soggy even when fresh out of the oil and into the cone. Even your gravy soaked poutine fries in Canada have more crisp to them.

You'd probably love the food scene in Auckland/New Zealand. There's definitely a British influence, but being so close to Asia we're pretty good at spice and seasoning too.

Not sure this belongs in the Positivity Thread. It's a tweet from a right wing nut, that makes no sense.
Mark Dice - Wikipedia

More than likely, it will cause good money to be wasted in another dumb idea, thanks to youknowwho.

There are about half a billion alveoli in the human lungs. You'd need quite the infinitesimally small scope to get anywhere near them.

Mark Dice looks like he wants to be Roger Stone II when he grows up. Great source for not 'fake news' - LOL.

The league announced Tuesday morning that licensed cloth face coverings for all 31 teams are available for purchase on NHLShop.com.

I think this is good news... with precautions... social distancing.... isolating those at risk...

Follow the real science... not the science the media portrays...

Dr. Fauci isn't and hasn't been in practice for 20 years...

I'm a chemist, I'm always following the real science. Surely you are capable of posting in here without pot shots against Fauci etc? Appreciate it if the political and media arguments were kept out of this thread, thanks.

Their suggestion of a .003% fatality rate based on extrapolating the 12% test infection rate across the entire population of California and keeping the current death count static is misleading. I mean, I believe in attacking this from an at risk demography based approach as well, but when you start with that kind of misleading math your credibility falls off the charts. Even the most generous statistics based on actual antibody testing models puts the IFR at around .33, with the most comprehensive one being .66.

The rates change considerably based on age and overall health but in no way shape or form is the IFR of COVID as low as they are suggesting and nowhere near that of the seasonal flu.

I assume this is the same Oxford group predicting they might be vaccine ready as soon as September 2020.

Yeah, same one. They partered with pharmaceutical manufacturer- Astra Zenica yesterday. The story I read indicated a potential availability at the end of the year. Was mentioned to be limited availability at that time. Exciting part is they will know if it works late June/early July.
