bad news for vaccines but if it is the one in the US already then risk of second infection is likely not that high on East Coast maybe, silver linings? also dang that this seems to be the worse strain if the comparison to Cali data is valid

So for the benefit of everyone else here, a lot of these "book strats" are like that because they consider rules of engagement and the possibility of unseen civilians in buildings and rooms, and you know, at least go through the motions of trying to get visual confirmation on targets first.

The people who wrote the textbooks are actually aware that "just walk in indirect fire" (i.e. just dropping JDAMS and artillery on any building that you think someone might have fired on you from) is also a thing.

Drinkfist's posts should probably not surprise anyone.

Look at this guy thinking regular infantryman platoons can call in that kind of ordnance on the fly. Our radios wouldn't even reach any of those assets let alone access them in any kind of timeframe that is needed during some routine patrol. Only the cool kids and pre planned operations get access to that kind of dumb poo poo. The reality of grunts in the real world is all we have quick access to is whatever is in direct company control. So when I say indirect fire I am talking small and big mortars from the guys in HQ platoon. They are quite explodey but they won't take down a building unless you go totally nuts on it. The gently caress you think some privates can spin up jets or call a loving battleship because of four guys in a ruined house sprayed at us? You watch too many movies.

Go join these high speed gems mr military. You are living on the same plane of reality as them.

for everyone who didn’t click through the article the mutant strain is what’s currently widespread across the globe not a new up and coming virus

Good god, NPR is running McConnell hooting about no economic relief unless they can get immunity for businesses from coronavirus lawsuits, and giving Neil Bradley (Chamber of Commerce) and open forum to talk about how businesses won't be immune, they'll just have "safe harbor" from lawsuits if they show good faith efforts to comply with disease control measures.

Never any pushback.

So I'm a wee bit drunk right now and skim read the last few pages and I gathered that the virus is both mutating itself out of existence at the same time as mutating to become more deadly as well as being able to time travel in France.
Also Elon Musk has had a robot baby and is going to kill Tom Cruise in space.

Not as bad,

Mutat*ed* meaning that the more virulent strain was what the East Coast already got. Guess it sucks if you caught the Chinese version on the west coast tho.

Also, I give it 2 years before we learn who the real father of Musk's baby is.

Ugh, was expecting these. Our practice has been in contact with a number of nursing homes in the area except for some specific ones that were withholding information and, from what I heard, were going to be forced to release it soon. And I guess they were.

Since literally nobody read the article, the 'mutated' strain is the dominant strain in the US, and is compared to the earliest form of the virus found in China.

Like, with regards to withholding number of dead people did they think they could just get away with it like a scooby doo villain? Like some kids wouldn't come in and rip the mask off a dead body and be like, "OH! it's dead old man willikers! looks like he died from covid-19!" and then scrappy would come in and say, "Nope! he died WITH covid-19!" and everyone would beat the poo poo out of him?

here is a spreadsheet of all the current BCG trials, including their expected completion dates. Looks like the earliest will be done on June 30th, and most will be done in fall/at the end of the year. Brazil is doing one that will finish in 2022.
