I grew up watching looney toons, I know what happens with the big x's and stand here things. Apparently so did that guy.

Did CDC ever suggest gloves for casual use in public?

I remember a time when they didn't recommend masks for casual public use.

Watching people with gloves can be as amusing as those that don't know how to wear the mask.

After walking into meijer on the first week they said masks required and seeing the greeter showing his nose, I decided minimal compliance is okay apparently. When I’m checking out, I will wear one properly since I need groceries.

RIP Herman Cain.

Herman Cain Dies From Coronavirus at 74

I liked Herman Cain. I was going to vote for him, but living in Indiana has meant that I have seldomly gotten to vote, even in a primary, for the candidate of my choosing. (I wrote in Ben Carson in 2016 even though he had dropped out).

Good man. He will be missed, but I gather that he is now doing better than ever.

For whatever reason, our positivity and cases ticked down a bit the last few days. I don't know what's going to happen with some schools back in session.

Sorry to hear. I thought his 999 plan was insane, but that has nothing to do with the man's value as a person.

I'm concerned about the focus on "positivity rate." That's a metric that depends on certain assumptions, primarily that there isn't a statistical bias in the testing. Like, for instance, predominantly testing symptomatic people. That will lead to more positive tests as a percentage of tests given.

Now, if we're testing all exposed people, as part of a contact tracing regime, then I'm kinda better with that. Yeah, it'll be higher than the population at large, but it will represent the percentage of people exposed who end up positive. That's a good number to know.

I have a medical appointment tomorrow for my all-too-frequent skin cancer and they told me I would be tested for wuhuflu. Now they can't get results back in time to affect anything for this appointment or treatment which will probably just be biopsies but I suppose it will give them information for the follow up appointments when they do the cutting and stitching.

I have never been tested before. I have heard it is uncomfortable but not painful. Kinda makes your eyes water.

Ever had a bit of food stuck up your nostril? It feels pretty much like that, for a few seconds.

Not since college days...

But thanks, that gives me a feel for what to expect.

The last time my doctor got that deep in my sinuses he wished he had a vice to keep me from squirming and whimpering.

Point of clarification: a vice can keep you from whimpering?

How much would something like that cost? Asking for a moderator.

No rep to spare for you yet.
