Sandbox – 18dec20

18 December 2020

[So now the C19 vaccines are arriving in backwoods counties like ours. Does anyone know of a list or policy that prioritizes who should get the vaccine and when (and where)? The news about its distribution stops with vague references to healthcare workers and old folks in care facilities being somewhere near the top of the list. gjr]

Quote from Elizabeth Banks (supposedly a Hollywood celebrity):
“I believe that women’s equality begins with our fundamental human rights over bodily autonomy…” she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2019.
She is now against ‘stand your ground’ laws. It’s OK for her body to have control over a helpless individual, with an undeveloped brain, inside her. Yet she wants me NOT to have rights over my bodily autonomy with ‘stand your ground’ when a completely independent person, with a functioning brain, is trying to harm me.
Certain persons should not be allowed to graduate from high school if they cannot recognize irony.

George,
Traditional model for disease spread may not work in COVID-19:
Paper from Georgia Med School-Augusta says short-term predictions should use a geometric mean model rather then Ro. “While this geometric method can’t predict long term trends, it can more accurately predict likely numbers for the short term.”
“The R-naught model can’t be changed to account for contact rates that can change from day to day when lockdowns are imposed,” Rao explains. “In the initial days of the pandemic, we depended on these traditional methods to predict the spread, but lockdowns change the way people have contact with each other.”
A uniform R-naught is also not possible since the COVID-19 pandemic has varied widely in different areas of the country and world. The R-naught also did not predict the current third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

“With his baseless claims of widespread voter fraud rejected by dozens of judges and GOP leaders, President Trump has turned to a ragtag group of conspiracy theorists, media-hungry lawyers and other political misfits in a desperate attempt to hold on to power after his election loss.
The president’s orbit has grown more extreme as his more mainstream allies, including Attorney General William P. Barr, have declined to endorse his increasingly radical plans to overturn the will of the voters. Trump’s unofficial election advisory council now includes a pardoned felon, adherents of the QAnon conspiracy theory, a White House trade adviser and a Russian agent’s former lover. – WaPo

Lin Wood speaks the truth! Republicans, don’t vote!
“At the center of the conflict is pro-Trump trial lawyer Lin Wood. His advocacy for President Donald Trump — and his unsubstantiated claims of election fraud — have been so extreme that he’s now taken to publicly discouraging people from voting for Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, arguing that the runoff elections are already rigged.
Amid party fears that a MAGA boycott could cost them control of the U.S. Senate, Trump privately spoke by phone this week with Wood to tell him to “knock it off,” a source briefed on the discussion told POLITICO.”

re: Lin Wood @ 7:31 am
So, that story is weeks old. You already posted that last month. I guess with your squirrel cage spinning in your melon, it was new and news to you, my Biden Bro….formerly my Hillary Guy. Yes, this is Biden County in a Sea of Red.
Lin Wood goes back to defending the FBI wrongly slimmed, slammed, and spit on innocent Atlanta Olympic Bomber (Richard Jewel) against the defamation of the press, namely the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and others in shit-for- brains media and sheet stains that comment on the Union pages. Let no good deed so unpunished. Of course Lin won a handsome settlement for the unconscionable treatment he received by Lying Press and Bill Clinton’s Justice Department leaking to that lying press, aka, the Enemy of the Truth. Jewel went from hero to zero at the speed of light.
Fortunately, Lin got Jewel a handsome defamation settlement against the “media”, just like Lin got the Catholic High School Boy millions against the Enemy of the People (Washington Compost, CNN, and the Democrat commenters on the Union’s pages.). Unfortunately for Jewel he was dead when the money came in.
Just like Alaska Senator Ted Stevens who got falsely accused by the Dirty Dems and sleazy Prosecutors at DOJ’s Convictions Before Truth Department which withheld evidence clearing Stevens and brought forth charges based on lies, speculation ,and falsehoods….even through the Justice Department /Media Slim Machine had a paper trail knowing Stevens was innocent. Stevens was dead when the Court cleared his name and overturned his conviction. A prosecutor (with a reawakened conscious promptly went out and killed himself after Stevens was wrongly convicted.
The Dems and the media actually won that one. Stevens was set to be deciding vote on Obamacare, but Stevens got taken out by the Media Industrial Weaponized Justice Department and the rest is history.
Like when Harry Reid got on the Senate Floor and claimed he had evidence that Mitt Romney was a tax cheat who had not paid his taxes for years with not even the tiniest thinnest shred of evidence, knowing full well that every word out of his mouth was a bold face lie.
“The problem with Reid’s allegation? It’s just not true. We know that, at least in 2011 and 2010, Romney did pay taxes. How do we know that? Because Romney released his tax returns for those years. In 2011, Romney paid $1.9 million in taxes; in 2010, he paid slightly more than $3 million in taxes.
Our own Fact Checker gave Reid Four Pinocchios for his “no taxes” claim. PolitiFact gave the claim a “Pants on Fire” rating.
Yet Reid (D-Nev.) not only refuses to retract the allegation but also seems to take great pride in it. When pressed by CNN’s Dana Bash last year about continuing to defend a statement that is not true, Reid responded, “Romney didn’t win, did he?”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/09/15/harry-reid-lied-about-mitt-romneys-taxes-hes-still-not-sorry/
“Romney didn’t win, did he?” A Senate Leader of the Lying Dems has a point. Trump didn’t win, did he???
The only difference between Harry Reid, the Media, some Union commentators, and a bucket of shit is the bucket.

Paul @ 8:54- I could hardly have offered a more public wager and the detail than was presented above, and the offer remains open. E-mail, no.
Actually, this is a wager I’d prefer to lose. Why?
Assuming about half the population actually pay Federal taxes, that means there are about 150 million of us on the hook. Each trillion the Gov borrows means about $6000 per taxpayer. Add in interest and it means the generation that pays for the borrowing of today will be out around 18k per trillion.
I won’t be around for thirty more years, but somebody will be on the hook for $72,000 for the 4 trillion Biden would need to spend for me to win the bet.

Boy, Punch should put a ‘Rand’ before his first name. What about the Washington spending sprees? The budget, the deficient, the debt, and the squeaky wheels?
‘Rand Paul Gives Viral Speech On Senate Floor Railing Against Covid Bill’
When the Senate voted, only six Republicans voted against the package: Paul, Rick Scott of Florida, Mike Lee of Utah, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Ted Cruz of Texas and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. Paul ripped the rest of his GOP colleagues.
“When you vote to pass out free money, you lose your soul and you abandon forever any semblance of moral or fiscal integrity,” Paul said.
But Paul said the government is not in the business of providing free money, adding “the only thing that can save us is opening the economy.”
———
“If free money was the answer… if money really did grow on trees, why not give more free money?” he said. “Why not give it out all the time? Why stop at $600 a person? Why not $1,000? Why not $2,000? Maybe these new Free-Money Republicans should join the Everybody-Gets-A-Guaranteed-Income Caucus? Why not $20,000 a year for everybody, why not $30,000? If we can print out money with impunity, why not do it?”
“We can’t keep pretending that more debt is a sustainable policy course. Leadership is not passing on the problem to someone who can’t protest. Leadership is making the hard choices now. This is what we have to do. I will oppose this new debt and I will continue to sound the alarm until we change our course. Our country can be saved. We can survive this if we pull together, but adding more debt is a mistake. It is not the solution,” the senator said.
Paul also went on a Twitter rant, pointing out that no lawmaker even had time to read the massive bill.
“Deficit busting bill will be 5,593 pages! If 250 words per page, then that’s 1,398,250 words. If Congresspeople read at the American average of 300 words/min (a big assumption) then a Congressperson might read this in 4,660 minutes or 77.68 hours! (if no rest breaks),” he wrote.
And he tweeted: “There is no free money to get us out of this situation. In fact, there is no more money at all. The answer is not printing up and distributing free money to everyone. The answer is immediately opening the economy. We can choose to let our economies open, with guidance and precautions but not obstruction. Let people rebuild their livelihoods. Reopen our schools so kids can learn and parents can go back to working and earning a living.”
https://www.dailywire.com/news/rand-paul-gives-viral-speech-on-senate-floor-railing-against-covid-bill
“Only thing that can save us is reopening the economy.”
Remember when the private sector passed out $1,000 bonuses to their thousands of employees as Trump’s Tax Plan kicked in? Nancy called that much appreciated bonus to private sector employees crumbs as well and she was none to happy that it was a private sector thang ans she got not credit. Crumbs!

EstonianF 509am – Well, there seems to be some confusion as to how R0 can be used both spatially and temporally. The reproduction rate number has none of the shortcomings they ascribe to it. R0 need not be a constant, as I make clear in my Epidyne model. What they want to do is abstract a current spread rate from recent data (that’s possibly locale-specific). To get this rate from N periodically measured spread rates is not necessary, since these simply evaluate to the Nth root of the ratio of the first and last spread rate – i.e. r(ave) = ((1+r(last))/(1+r(first)))^(1/N) – 1. Since the dynamics of the spread rates in the data window don’t count, and the result is constant spread rate to be applied to a future interval, then it would be just as easy and valid to calculate the rate constant for exponential growth over the data interval T, and use that for near-term predictions. This gives the desired rate as r(mean) = ln(nL/nF)/T, where nL is that latest total number infected, and nF is the initial number infected at the beginning of T. Finally, note that in the geometric mean calculation the spread rates are really somewhat specious numbers since the dynamics within T are noise corrupted which the mean calculation is expected to smooth out or remove. Also, the implication is that r(ave) will be used in a linear fashion over some future interval TF – i.e. nTF = (1+r(ave))n(now). In nature, the more usual case is that things grow exponentially so that nTF = n(now)exp(r(mean)*TF). This is not to say that they could not use r(ave) similarly.
Finally, of course R0 did not and could not “predict the third current wave”, and neither could the use of a geometric mean computed within the same time frame (data window) as R0. Without a marvelously complex and reliable population mixing model (that incorporates timed lockdowns, quarantines, masks, and other response policies with assumed effects), no epidemic model is able to predict subsequent infection waves.

Quotes
Insight: “It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become prey to the active. The conditions upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime, and the punishment of his guilt.” —John Philpot Curran (1750-1814)
Observations: “Biden isn’t even bothering to try to convince you that he’s choosing the most competent people for key [cabinet] jobs. Instead, he’s telling you what they look like. Their appearance is all that matters. So it turns out your mother was wrong; you can judge a book by its cover. In fact, you’re now required to.” —Tucker Carlson
For the record: “The fraud happened. The election in many ways was stolen and the only way it’ll be fixed is by in the future reinforcing the laws.” —Senator Rand Paul
He has a point: “If money really did grow on trees, why not give more free money? Why not give it out all the time? Why stop at $600 a person? Why not $1,000? Why not $2,000? Maybe these new Free-Money Republicans should join the Everybody-Gets-A-Guaranteed-Income Caucus. Why not $20,000 a year for everybody? Why not $30,000? If we can print out money with impunity, why not do it?” —Rand Paul, who further declared, “To so-called conservatives who are quick to identify the socialism of Democrats: If you vote for this spending monstrosity, you are no better.”
Upright: “Folks, we just received a 5,600 page PDF that represents one of the largest spending bills in our history, and NOT ONE Member of Congress will have had time to read through it before voting later today. This is awful governance, and a disservice to the American people.” —Rep. Ralph Norman
Non sequitur: “People say around here sometimes, ‘I’m faith-oriented, so I don’t believe in science.’ And I said, ‘Well, you can do both. Science is an answer to our prayers and our prayers have been answered with a vaccine.’” —House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Non compos mentis: “We missed our opportunity to impeach [Trump] for treason. [New York] can make up for it!” —Rep. Maxine Waters
And last… “I don’t really let statues bother me, because, well… they’re statues. They don’t make me angry, because they’re just inanimate objects. The only way a statue can hurt you is if it falls on you while you’re tearing it down. I avoid this danger by not tearing them down.” —Jim Treacher

RX Crosstops: I heard Trump is pardoning George the Geek Papadopoulos, two border patrol agents and four Blackrock Dogs of War. And Duncan Hunter, not to be confused with the other Hunter under FBI criminal investigations (2), money laundering and tax fraud….just like Paul Manafort.
I do take exception with along with the “convicted liars from the Russia scandal”
I would love to see the video of Papadopoulos’s FBI interviews, if they were recorded as SOP. No can find. The Geek was convicted, did his 20 days in prison, not jail, and is good to go. Yep, The Geeky Greek’s crime was he was 10 days off in events, late March as opposed to early May and plead quilty just to make the constant harassment go away. Same for Michael Flynn, but his was a little different cause they threatened to ruin his son. So, Flynn fell on the sword for his son,
All those stories of the “convicted liars” and non-convicted liars are the same. They almost got RT McFarland the same way, but she fought back and had to go take a gig on Fox to pay her legal bills. Anyway, the stories go like this. The FBI shows up, say they just have a couple of questions, sieze records and stuff, and a few hours later walk away. Some, voluntarily gave the FBI everything they had.
Then, later they show back up for a 9 hour grilling, again that was just going to be another brief couple of questions to clear things up, followed by day two of intensive phycological warfare.
FBI: On such and such date you had communications with so and so. What was the purpose of that communication.
FBI Target: McFarland any many others: Oh my. That was months ago. Can I see my calendar and notes to refresh my memory?
FBI: No. Tell us about the communication on that date.
McFaland: Oh, so and so left a message at my office number so I called him back the next morning.
FBI: No, you texted him back the next morning. Now that we got you on perjury, if you don’t give us dirt on Trump (or Roger Stone) saying you overheard Trump telling Stone ( or vice versa) that he had foreknowledge on what’s in the Wikileaks leaks….(or something related)
McFarland: You want me to lie?
FBI: If you do not cooperate, we will sent you to prison for a long long time.
That is what a politicalized and weaponized Department of Justice looks like. Not interested in the truth, lay a perjury trap on them to get them to “recall” something much differently than they recall or “suddenly recall” certain time stamped dates of interest. If you cannot the dots, you have no case against Trump for treason or conspiracy with the Russians.
George Papado served his time and paid his debt to society. Don’t see why you, RX on Crosstops, are so upset about it. All Trump did was remove the stain on the young Geek’s record. As the Grateful Dead sang, “Set up like a bowling pin.

Trump is tired of golf and needy for attention. He knows Congress can override his veto but he threw out the $2,000 as bait for his base.

Trump gets his wish for support for $2000 assistance. Tweet From Nancy:
“Republicans repeatedly refused to say what amount the President wanted for direct checks. At last, the President has agreed to $2,000 — Democrats are ready to bring this to the Floor this week by unanimous consent. Let’s do it!”

Haha. Nanny Nan is one funny old bittie. Trump for months wanted a stand alone bill for every worker and their spouses at $1,200 each plus a few hundred for each kid. But Nancy said “noooooooo”. We got to add money for prisons and equitablr outcomes for criminals based on race and gender studies in Pakistan and the Green Raw Deal and bail out states that are going broke due (pre-China Virus) to wreckless mismanagement and hare brained wild SJW Woke Idea spending.
Give Trump his stand alone bill and I will have yet another unneeded check in a week. Oh, sausage making makes the Left and the Right both see red.

“President Trump vetoed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 Wednesday, calling it a “gift” to U.S. adversaries China and Russia and making good on a promise to veto if it did not repeal a law that shields certain Big Tech companies from liabilities.
“My Administration recognizes the importance of the Act to our national security,” the president wrote to House members after vetoing the bill. “Unfortunately, the Act fails to include critical national security measures, includes provisions that fail to respect our veterans and our military’s history, and contradicts efforts by my Administration to put America first in our national security and foreign policy actions.””

And can you imagine it? All this spending will again be laid at the feet of Trump by our self-righteous know-nothings. Their own leadership will remain as pure as the fresh-driven snow.

Well George you and your fellow RR’s had no problem blaming Obama for all the spending that occurred under Bush’s watch. Fair game I guess.

Good. Bury them lawsuits. Thats how Jeff Sessions broke the back of the KKK in Alabama by lawsuits. The Left has simply swapped out their white hoods for black ones.
