Not if we plant more forests rather than building housing estates which maximise profit over 1st time buyer affordability or cheap dwellings for the homeless. Yes, we are all going to shuffle off our mortal coil eventually, even if CO2 is reigned in. But we digress..

May 13, 20206 yr Here's today's (highly) recommended reading - a new article by Dr. Atul Gawande, a surgeon and New Yorker staff writer, on the steps workplaces should take in order to reopen safely. He draws his lessons from the hospital industry - the one workplace that has actually had to function in a high-risk environment. The piece is a bit long but extremely clear and well-written. Lots to think about. Alan Ampolsk"Ah, Paula, they are firing at me!"-- Saint-Exupery

May 13, 20206 yr One thing that bothers me about all this corona virus data is the lack of local recovery numbers. Roswell added 1 more virus case yesterday bringing our total to 28 recorded cases. But that person was already dead which brings our death count to 2. So that would bring the possible active cases down to 26. 1 woman we know recovered because there was and article printed about her. So now we're down to 25 if nobody else has recovered. I'm wondering if they are deliberately withholding that information to make things look worse than they are. How many active cases are there in Roswell? Or in any other local area? How many are still hospitalized? As of yesterday New Mexico had 5212 cases and 1434 recoveries. That's 27% recovered for the state. That's the only data I have to calculate Roswell's active cases. 73% of 25 is 18 people are still active cases and 8 people have recovered. Of course that's not an accurate number because I am applying a state-wide calculation to a local area. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
May 13, 20206 yr I think 1984 is on everyone's mind Dave. One thing governments are reluctant to give up is control once they have it. Combine that with all the tracking and snooping technology available today big brother cold turn into big daddy. I'd have a lot more to say about this but it would get political.
