    Going back to my fanny-pack, bleach and water bong.... the bleach thing.... breathing that, even through a long tube might be an issue. Solution... add an activated charcoal filter in the tube. That should work. No viruses are getting by my bong/charcoal/fanny-pack breathing apparatus.

    I just checked, I can draw air through a (new) Brita water filter... so if any of you want to make a redneck "country-boy can survive" Youtube how-to video... there ya go.
    Build it yourself for under $20. Works forever, just add bleach and water.

    When I was in high school, I had the bright idea of modifying the air intake of the carburetor on a V-8 Dodge Duster to include a tube connected to one of those cylindrical propane cans, that I could open up while driving for extra horsepower. Didn't work. Lucky I didn't blow myself up eh?

    Am I derailing the Iran thread? Oh well... I'm out.

    Oh P.S.
    .....Can someone get B1 to post his "Izzy Bottom" figure, the actual number please, that he's bragging non-stop about in his most prolific, stupid, Trump manner yet... just so he can regain a little respect and show he has some balls. (instead of just stupid BULLSHIT)

    Good day all.

    Exponential growth due to exponential testing. Is there ANY evidence that this moves faster than the flu?

    Flu goes from 0- 30 million in 6 months in the US.

    We have 20k CV cases.

    Try explaining irrationality and media propaganda to cultists though.

    the R0 numbers are well documented already.. Try explaining epidemiology to Trump cultists though.

  6. If you do not believe in science then why should anyone bother showing you the facts. Google RO unless science is a Dem hoax as well...

    First case outside of China was in Thailand on Jan 13th. They only have 411 cases and 1 death after all that time. About the same mortality rate as the flu. Pretty amazing for an overcrowded 3rd world country. Explain how a country with 10x the population of WA can have 1/4th the cases, 1/83rd times the deaths and have had the virus longer.

    Maybe it's the exceptional Thai healthcare system?

    how is lack of testing in any way related to the calculated virulence from places we do have data?

    Not believing in science is a core principle of the Democrat party.

    The best representation is Diamond Princess, Cruise Ship. Everyone was tested. So they know the true infection rate, the true death rate and true recovery rate. Cruise ships are packed with a bunch of old farts, so take the death rate from Diamond Princess and divided it by two. The complete set of numbers are not in, but it is going to come in at about .6% to .7%.
