You mean they weren't coordinating?

It also sounds like cabal, cartel, union, ring, tribe, oligopoly, etc... You can't join. You aren't invited. You have no say.

You mean like Alameda County and San Joaquin County which are adjacent to each other and which have different rules in place? Arbitrary line on the map.

Definitely not coordination. Came together on their own. Decide what to do together. Enforce each other's powers by acting in concert.

The Bay Area health officials have formed a cabal to move the entire region in concert. This has first meant the joint statement extending the lockdown to June 1st. My speculation is that this also means that the whole area moves at the sam

I'm not going to take a side here but just wanted to point out that the previous poster is referring to conditional probability. P(works|someone doing this is 91) > P(works). n is 1 here so the probability hasn't changed much a

Was told by my wife years ago that there is a Hong Kong tycoon who has been doing this for years. Supposedly hires young people to do nothing but to stay healthy and then has transfusions of their blood. Just checked and he is still alive a

This is cut and pasted from the CDC. Read about what surgical masks do "protects the wearer's nose and mouth from contact with droplets, splashes and sprays that may contain germs". Surgical masks Also called a medical mask,

There were plenty of n95 masks sold for industrial use. Some of those were the plain dust mask style masks. Just search Home Depot. Are you saying that those will be more dangerous than no mask? Also it is a bad argument to argue that peopl

Manipulation whether in good or bad faith is one is the biggest problems in the US. It’s is coming from both sides. Don’t vote for those who will manipulate you.

They are targeting $5K for round trip tickets between NY and London. It is really just making it faster for the rich to travel for fun or work. Supposedly it is inherently 3X as expensive as subsonic planes from a cost per seat mile point o

That was the case in the past several recessions. The only question is the relative mix in each company. And then if this recession persists then more and more knives come out as people fight each other for jobs within each company. Many pe
