Ravens were activated due to lack of human activity due to coronavirus quarantine, less waste food on the streets. Now ravens are hungry and they started act like this. I even see more homeless people walking around, they can't find waste restaurant food anymore, so they are walking around and searching for opportunity. | ||

Ravens don’t get ‘activated’, they just do what they do. Look for other videos of ravens swarming. You will find evidence of this behavior going back as long as there’s been youtube. Nah, just kidding. It’s the end of the world. | ||

15 minute test for the China virus. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200326005 310/en/Henry-Schein-Announces-Availability-Coronav irus-2019-COVID-19?fbclid=IwAR18Nt-H7pr6U7l-aVNC3_ 9SxquuJlxzw0erbCCuyD6wAIOcMlRr2OKxsug#.Xn0_Y1PjkYJ .facebook | ||

First, the good news. Just watched the latest in the video series. Apparently there is a study out claiming that about 86% of cases are going unreported. Personally, I find that to be an unusually exact number for such an unknown, but I'll put that reservation aside. The bad news. In the video he does the math on this. In order to get to the 80% herd immunity needed to stop the spread of the virus (that's based on it's transmission rate) we need to get to 35,840,000 confirmed infections in the US. We are currently at about 142,000. In a nutshell, the idea that most of the population is already exposed and we are just about over the hill is just absurd. This data is also very much at odds with what the S. Korean scientist claimed of about 20% going undocumented. Either way, it's not great. Who knows, maybe someone wants to see it. | ||

I thought this one was interesting, considering it's not just a conspiracy theory website... https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/wuhan-covid-1 9-deaths-may-be-in-tens-of-thousands-data-on-crema tions-show/ar-BB11T0Vb?ocid=spartanntp | ||

Nope. Anyone on the west coast North of the California state line is doomed when the Juan de Fuca plate slips big. And there's an asteroid coming up soon... The whole "Sun expands and sears the Earth like a tv chef" seems inevitable. Oh you mean the Coronavirus? No. But some individuals will be. (Message edited by Aesquire on March 30, 2020) | ||

The remnant of the farallon plate, now called the juan de fuca plate, extends into California, it doesn’t end at the border. This is why there are still two stratovolcanoes in California. | ||

When north america finally slips over the east pacific rise, all those beautiful cone volcanoes will disappear. This coronavirus scare will have run its course long before then.  | ||

If any of you are interested in the rich geological history (and future) of the PNW, youtube Nick Zentner. He puts on a series of public lectures at the university of central washington. They are fascinating. | ||

Some of you are familiar with Naval and USMC special ops trading . . . Quoting a SEAL instructor ... “The only “victims” are women, children and the elderly ..... the rest are volunteers”. Actualizing this doesn’t depend on invocation of the 2nd Amendment nor does being a tough guy save you. As with nearly every event, conflict and bubble in history ..... the smart and well prepared enjoy decided advantage. Hyperbole and unvetted fear are distractions. | ||

At work, we are working along with medical professionals from multiple countries and manufacturers to develop a new design ventilator that is capable of being produced at a rate of 1000 per week. Weekly group call and design updates. Bench test done, proof of process expected in a week, expect a design-for-manufacture following shortly. Individuals and companies are working the problems. If you wait for a government agency or a multi-national to get started, you'll die of old age waiting for action. There is a LOT of activity going on that is not visible to the public. Just because it's not in the MSM or being government-funded doesn't mean it's not happening. Yes, it's urgent, yes critical supplies are running out but there IS work underway to anticipate and back-fill the need and to stockpile in advance of worst-case future need. Meanwhile, pay attention, don't be stupid.

That's good stuff, and I'm sure part of the reason P45 is pushing for "build it fast, as long as it works, and the FDA can do their part after we save lives". And pushing for automakers to re-tool for production of these devices. | ||

The bench-test version in Spain. It's an excellent idea to have multiple CRITICAL people working on a complex problem.  | ||

It is mildly amusing that politicians are telling people that there is no shortage. | ||

It's a complicated problem since you MUST intubate the patient and they MUST be anesthetised. This also requires monitoring, tying up a number of additional folks. Interesting getting a detailed look into what it takes to solve this problem. Team Mission statement (if you will) Company name redacted. All have similar goals.

Slaughter; You might be surprised what the alphabet soup of government agencies are doing behind the scenes. We are all working, both siloed and collaboratively, on multiple projects. The inter-communication is amazing. It's interesting to send out a message at 2AM, only to have a colleague on the other side of the country answer immediately. Contingency plans are being assembled. Is it going to me a model of efficiency? I think we all know the answer to that. As an informal network operating almost exclusively reactive based on field reports, it would be almost imposssible to be perfect. But I can say I have been working with public and private sector entities, evenings and weekends, to try to accomplish my primary assignments, and support for the others. The spirit of cooperation and innovation is something that compares to 9/11 or Pearl Harbor. It"s odd I spend most of my days doing R&D on devices I want to one day see in use in healthcare and say to myself, " I worked on that project". For the last two weeks I hope everything I've been doing stays on the drawing board until a time when it can be vetted more thoroughly. |
