The Same Storm Only The Boats Differ In Times Of Despair
In times of panic, people like to use the saying we are all in the same boat. The saying is not entirely true. It’s better to refer to the situation as a storm. We are all in the same storm, and all boats differ. Powerboats skimming the blue waters are many people’s retirement dreams, and yet fishing boats with their paint chippings are in the same ocean and hardly get a second glance. These boats have no value to the material eye, yet they can feed families. The haves and do not have live worlds apart. Neither of these categories is terrible people. How can you be resentful towar... more »

Fauci Lied, The Economy Died: 370 Workers at Missouri Pork Plant
Test Positive for Coronavirus – All Are Asymptomatic From the Gateway Pundit: Excerpts: More than 370 workers tested positive at the Triumph Foods Pork Plant near St. Joseph, Missouri this past week. All of them were asymtomatic with the disease. This proves once again that the virus is much less dangerous that what the “experts” were saying. (I’m guessing that this infection rate is at least 10 times higher than what is normal, see my previous Another Coincidence post.) 17% of the employees tested positive with no symptoms.

(U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt.

Iraq’s Revenues Drop Another 50% In Apr 2020
(CNN) In April 2020 Iraq’s oil revenues dropped by 50%. That was on top of a 40% decline the month before. This was due to the oil war between Saudi Arabia and Russia that oversupplied the globe and then the coronavirus which devastated demand. This is a huge blow to Iraq which is the most oil dependent country in the world. In April, Iraq exported an average of 3.48 million barrels a day. That was the highest amount of the year, and the most since 3.5 million barrels in November 2019. The Oil Ministry said that it wanted to boost exports during the month in an attempt to earn as ... more »

Each 10 minutes in average (a Poisson process), the Bitcoin miners create a new block. So far, 628,912 blocks have been mined, see e.g. btc.com for the current situation. Each 2016 blocks (which is exactly 14 days if the block spacing is exactly 10 minutes), the difficulty of the useless mathematical tasks that the miners have to solve is reevaluated to keep the frequency at "one block per 10 minutes". The nearest readjustment will be tomorrow, the block 312*2016 = 628,992. The change to the difficulty will be just some modest 1-2%. However, each 210,000 blocks which is about 3.993 y... more »

How Genetic Sequences Act as Passports to Track How Coronavirus Travels
*Bert Ely, Taylor Carter* *Public Health, World* [image: Reuters] The steady rate of genetic changes lets researchers recreate how a virus has travelled. Following the coronavirus’s spread through the population – and anticipating its next move – is an important part of the public health response to the new disease, especially since containment is our only defense so far. Just looking at an infected person doesn’t tell you where their version of the coronavirus came from, and SARS-CoV-2 doesn’t have a bar code you can scan to allow you to track its travel history.

Why Testing and Contact Tracing for Coronavirus Is Unmanageable
*Jimmy Whitworth* *Public Health, World* [image: Reuters] It is difficult when people can be infected without showing symptoms. Since mid-March, the World Health Organization has urged countries to scale up the testing, isolation and contact tracing of COVID-19 patients in order to combat the pandemic. The reason for this advice is that if you can find infected cases, isolate and treat them, and trace the close contacts who they might have infected, and isolate them too, then you can keep much of the infection out of the general population. This stops its spread and slows down t... more »
