On the mathematics of infection and the case for quarantine at this time

This is being written March 26, 2020: I was pondering what R2.5 meant. It really means 2.5 people will be infected for each confirmed case; but it also means an additional 2.5 people per case per week.In the 13 weeks since this was discovered. The results show the importance, at this time, of social distancing. Consider this: 82,000 people have recovered from this virus. In comparison only a handful have died. 82,000 carriers, who infected 2.5 people each, thus whether testing has confirmed or not, whether they 've developed symptoms or not, 205,000 people are now also carriers. Since it takes 10 days of being contagious before you get sick, you can assume those 205,000 infected 512,500 others, who went on to infect 1,281,250 others, who went on to infect 3,203,125 others who went on to infect 8,007,812 others who went on to infect 20,019,531 others who went on to infect 50,048,828 others who went on to infect 125,122,070 others who went on to infect 312,805,175, who went on to...

On the Constitutionality of Quarantine

Image
Disclaimer- IANAL- I am not a lawyer. TLDR; I dig deeper into quarantine constitutionality. Do I like this? No. Is it constitutional? Undoubtedly yes. Do I pray that it is short? YES!!!! I just had to have an argument with my son on which was the more important use of bandwidth, work from home earning money for the family or his daily homework. Read on for a deeper analysis Digging deeper on this whole Quarantine Constitutionality question, it's not as straightforward as I though. HUGE numbers of paragraphs in US Code 42 have been repealed by Congress over the years (in keeping, of course, with their Article I section 8 powers to govern the public welfare). What President Trump (and by extension, Kate Brown) is only two paragraphs from the original quarantine code passed by Congress in 1793. The same Congress that gave us the Constitution to begin with. But it is plenty of authority for this disruption of civilian lives. President Trump's original...

My post on social media about COVID-19 and Abortion

ABORTION IS ELECTIVE SURGERY AND DUE TO THE COVID-19 CRISIS SHOULD BE TEMPORARILY BANNED. ----------- ALWAYS PLAN FOR THE WORST BUT HOPE FOR THE BEST (SHARE AS NEWS STORY PUBLIC) Worst case scenario, out of the 400 million (320 million counted in 2010, I suspect a large number of people missed counted in the census plus immigrants both legal and illegal) people potentially residing in these United States, 4 million will die by August and our healthcare system will collapse. Practice the quarantines and social distancing as haphazardly and irrationally imposed by state governors one by one, have visitors respond to the Level 4 travel advisory, maybe 2 million will die by October. Treat President Trump as a "War President" and institute mandatory testing and quarantine of those afflicted (THE SOUTH KOREA SOLUTION)- between 400,000 and a million dead by Christmas and an economy in tatters, but able to recover fairly quickly once this is over. Add in the idea that Abortion is ...

A few thoughts on the current President of the United States.

We all agree Trump is an ass. It is in fact the real only reason he got elected. The majority of people living outside of the city are tired of whimps and metrosexuals leading the country. The people in the country are tired of the constant attacks on traditional lifestyles by scientists who seem to have been purchased by the rich to kill the poor. They are tired of giving in to any tinpot dictator who wants to lob a missile at Japan, at Taiwan, at Israel. They wanted an ashole, and a hundred million people voted for an asshole, and they got the winningest asshole that the sad, amoral nation of the United States could come up with. Trump is the metoo of every farmer and laborer who saw his daughter sucked into the Hollywood porn machine. He is the vengeance of every coal miner and textile worker who lost their job to globalization. He has become, just to win, the vengeance of 61 million kids killed in their mother's womb so that one more man might avoid responsibility. ...
