    "Social distancing" — is that what I've been doing all these years?

    That would actually be a good thing -- providing a substantial-sized known and controlled sampling with which to give percentages, do tests and research and just generally get a clearer picture of the scope and depth of the condition.

    AIPAC has announced that several attendees at its annual convention a couple weeks ago tested positive for the virus. Like at least half of the Congress as well as Trump attended that get-together. That might get the Hill's attention.

    I'm seeing this thread linked all over this morning. It's based on running the numbers on COVID, and it's frightening as hell. I have a couple of others that are nearly as bad - and one that's worse, but I'll link this one first because it is conservative in its estimates and devastating in it's conclusions.

    Taken together, this tweet and the next one are terrifying if you are literate in math.
