  • Testing to determine population fractions – extended (updated 23apr20)

    George Rebane In ‘Testing to determine population fractions’ I introduced the reliability aspect of tests for both infection and immunity.  This is still not a serious consideration brought up in the daily WH C19 briefings, and, of course, nothing of this level of complexity is covered in the media for various reasons ranging from the acumen…

  • Ruminations – 20apr20

    George Rebane “We are all in this together.”  Who make up the “we”?  What defines the “this”?  Porter Stansberry makes a very compelling cast that this assertion by the governments and their loyal lackies is the Big Lie of today (here)  – we are not all in this together, and the ‘this’ is different for…

  • C19 – a rose by any other name would …

    ‘For yourself, never seek justice, only mercy.’ Coach Dick Beedy George Rebane The pathogen causing today’s worldwide pandemic is referred to by many labels – novel coronavirus, Covid-19, 2019-nCoV, SARS-CoV-2, Wuhan virus, CCP virus, China virus, … .  The politically correct don’t want to attach a “stigmatizing” name to anything that may gore the reputation…

  • What is the purpose of testing???

    George Rebane This may be the most definitive evidence that dumbth is the established order of the day in America.  Everyone has been screaming about testing, and continues that to this minute.  But no one has told us why test – what kind of metric is testing supposed to provide to public policy makers, and…

  • Scattershots – 15apr20 (updated 18apr20)

    George Rebane For a progressive the content value of delivered messages depend only on the correct credentials of the messenger.  Autocracy rising.  Granted that all the federal and state hunker-down mandates have taken a big bite out of our civil liberties (here and here), we witness and read daily of people being stopped, harrassed, arrested,…

  • Sandbox – 14apr20

    [While I'm much in favor of opening up the economy sooner than later, I can't understand the Trump/Cuomo pissing match now going on (here).  The President is all wet in asserting that it is only he who gets "to call the shots" on opening up the country.  The country was not 'closed' on the basis…

  • The Second Wave of Covid-19 (updated 15apr20)

    George Rebane [A rewrite of this piece for broader audiences – ‘The big decision and the second wave’ – appeared in the 18apr20 online and print editions of The Union.] As we start to turn the corner on the initial wave of C19 infections sweeping the land, people are already talking about the second wave…

  • Documentary on the origin of the CCP virus

    George Rebane A reader sent me an interesting piece in the Epoch Times, an independent non-partisan news outfit rapidly gaining a reputation for their no-nonsense reporting.  They have put some effort into assembling a detailed documentary video on the origin of C19, aka CCP virus, aka Covid-19, aka (longer and more detailed labels).  The information…

  • A Place for Everything and Everything in its Place

    [This was submitted by reader and Nevada County resident Don Bessee.  It is posted as received. gjr] Don Bessee Commercial activity in Residentially Zoned neighborhoods is fundamentally in conflict with their land use protections that everyone agreed to when they signed their title papers that included mandated disclosures. There are allowed things like piano lessons…

  • He is Risen!

    George Rebane Hearing that strong assertion, the Christian answers joyfully, ‘He is risen indeed!’ For us, Christmas is the promise, and Easter its fulfillment.  The summation of all Christianity is Christ’s covenant in the promised transcendence of Man, all concentrated into one simple declaration – ‘He is risen!’  Without this, our faith is a fraud;…
