    Let me know when that paper gets peer reviewed. Until then it's just someone's hypothesis.

    There is a theory that the DHS put out (and why the DHS instead of the CDC or WHO but whatever) that a combination of sunlight, high humidity, and temperature MAY kill the virus however it's just a theory right now. It hasn't been peer reviewed or tested extensively yet...

    Yes it is. It's simply not true. Cite a reputable source.

    Don't worry, fresh air and sunlight will kill it and if not the Clorox they pipe to the water fountains will.

    You mean besides having to be in proximity to Rob Auermuller?

    Isolation 2020

    This thread is an example of why I never allowed political crap on the site. I told Boyd not to delete or do anything and we'd see how bad it would get and, well, here we are.

    Isolation 2020

    And I apologize for bringing politics into this, especially since the standing rule here is no political discussion and it's kept this site from becoming a toxic shithole like so many other discussion forums. But I don't think that there's a way of discussing this without bringing politics into...

    Isolation 2020

    Ever since 2016 there's been a big push to discount science and the work of experts, especially when they disagree with what the president and the right wing media says. Dr. Fauci is urging caution, and the president is on record with not agreeing with what he has to say. People are now...

    Isolation 2020

    Our president gets a lot of his direction from the Fox News opinion folks who are currently doing everything they can to undermine Dr Fauci. The president was initially reluctant to propose stay at home orders and has largely left it to the states, which is why places like Florida only recently...

    Isolation 2020

    Because I’m talking about what we understand now. We understand, in fairly good terms,viruses and virology. However Covid 19 is new and not well understood. That’s why they call it “novel”.

    This isn't martial law. Martial Law is when they put the military in charge of a civilian population, which requires an act of Congress to happen. The Army hasn't started shooting people for trying to walk around Batsto. You can go to Walmart because they sell food and other essential supplies...

    Nobody is getting arrested, they're just fining people. Also lots of people are out and about.

    Isolation 2020

    Because State Parks are far more accessible to regular people. Less people will go out to WMAs because most people don't know what they are, or where to park, or what to do once they're in there. Nobody is in a cage. And I really wonder how many people would be so against the stay at home...

    You don't remember Spanish Flu unless you were alive in 1917. All of those other diseases are/were better understood and better contained. We didn't run out of PPE or not have enough respirators for the other diseases. But we have the problem now. Clearly this is worse.

    Yeah, who would trust these "experts" and their "science"?
