No it does not. It describes an administrator meeting with shady brokers in a hanger at a small airport trying to buy masks contained in two food-delivery trucks. The FBI checks in. As it should. Sounds shady as hell. The FBI lets the shipm

I'm not living under a rock. I'm actually living a mile or two from a virtually empty hospital. The post I was responding to implied hospitals were overwhelmed. I simply asked which ones. Specically. Name them. If you don't

My goal with it was to test a theory -- an algorithm really. It can be found on the site at the 'Fields' page. It extends beyond cells. Take a marching band, for instance... You have 500 marchers, all blindfolded, and the goal is

Thanks for your interest. I'll stick a link to the source code files within a day or so... It's not pretty; especially the parser.

For some time, I have been interested in morphogenesis -- how living systems self-assemble. I've written CYCELL2D to be a sandbox of sorts to experiment with some of my ideas on the subject. Perhaps it will be useful to others. I'

The exponential curve in deaths would be reflective of exponential testing/ Once again, if you have a stable X percent of people dying from Y, an exponential increase in testing for Y will give the illusion of an exponential increase i

by lurquer 7y ago
The exponential curve is consistent with the exponential increase in testing. If a stable 30% of a pop has X at any given time, and you test 10 people for X the first week, 100 the next week, 1000 the next week, etc. you will have a nice ex

30 days ago many HN posters were saying this. I guess they were all idiots too. They don't say it much any more, though... why get downvoted? The fact that this has already spread through the US will become self-evident soon enough. (&

"as many as 380,000 people die of the infections in LTCFs [long-term care facilities] every year." https://www.cdc.gov/longtermcare/index.html An increase of a several percent would not be noticed.

Data cones before analysis... I'd like to see the increase (If any) of actual deaths in US on a week by week basis. Just looking for a good source of that number... If it exists.

No, I mean daily US deaths from ALL causes.

I'd like to see what the current daily number of deaths is for US. UK has a good current weekly tally. Can't find anything similar for US. It would be helpful to determine the amount of overlap. That is, there has been a precipito

US is 18th in deaths per capita. (And falling.) In a thread criticizing the US, it is odd that this simple fact isn't mentioned. Or, alternatively, the importance of the fact is minimized. (Even more odd that the US per capita death fr

The medical system in Italy sucks. The northern region sees a scandalously high number of elderly die every day in the winter. Upwards of 200 a day. The issue is political. Covid is a convenient cover for the scandal. If you die in Lombardy
