Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Great so I can go back to licking doorknobs and going on cruises to Italy. Just kidding.
I like that universities are sending students home to prevent the spread but hotels and airlines are aggressively pushing to get young people to fly and go on vacation with super cheap incentives. Kinda see a contradiction.
3 TSA Officers Test Positive For Coronavirus At Mineta San Jose Int’l Airport

3 Cases in New Mexico today. The state made it to final 11. I bet Alaska will be last.
It is simply going to spread now. I like that we just stoped travel from Europe, that will sure help considering that the cow is out of the barn so to speak. Cases are starting show up in Santa Fe, not long now before it is in Los Alamos. So buckle up this train has left the station.
You have to be kidding, people are stealing toilet paper at the labs now? Please how much could that cost.

Its just the flu bro!
Sorry but did you really think China just shut down their entire economy and lock down everybody because it is just the flu?
There is some evidence and debate that there are actually two strains L and S and one has the 1% rate and other 3.5-5%. You wanna take a chance with 5% death rate for 1/2 or 2/3 of the population? It is the 4.5% that has some people really worried.

The sample is strongly biased to those that present SIGNIFICANT symptoms. I'm not sure we can say, at this point, that it is anymore deadly than the annual flu. Time will tell. If you do not understand, when was the last time you had the flu and when was the last time you were swabbed and received a lab result for flu?
The 2019 flu death rate for those who are hospitalized and over 65 years of age is greater than 8%. The death rate for those that require medical "visits" is 1.5% (2019 estimates provided by the CDC). These two categories are the best representation of the current bias in the sample and I would stipulate the current coronavirus sample is highly biased toward the higher rate at this point.

Those who are vulnerable should be protected but fear is a powerful thing. Knowledge is the only defense or you can just go buy a bunch of toilet paper....
3% or 5%
Based on the current bias, I would wager significantly less than 1% mortality after the dust settles. Again, vulnerable demographics need to be protected.
Really? You're stuck in 1991, before the Soviet Union dissolved? How sad for you.
I guess all those "old" people should just kill themselves, or e euthanized, right? WHy try to keep them alive if they are no one you care about?
