BigStewMan Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 @dwilawyer Good Evening Travis ... I watched a good documentary on You Tube about Captain Beefheart. A funny segment was Frank Zappa talking about how he learned to just let Don do whatever he wanted ... even when that meant covering the symbols and drums with cardboard. Been listening to stuff from his album Unconditionally Guaranteed, which the band hated because it was too mainstream; but I think it's great. I'll see if I can find that documentary again and post it. Here it is: The entire video is good; but I copied it to start at the point I referenced above. He definitely marched to beat of his own drum. My brother told me about a time that he & the Captain sat at a bar and drew cartoons on napkins all night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? The deaths and new cases over at least the last two weeks (which are the relevant ones) are all confirmed via testing. I wonder if the eight legislators in Mississippi who are confirmed (and at least a dozen more suspected and waiting on results) care about over- counting. I think the experts, i.e., epidemiologists,.are pretty sure cases are under-counted,.and they know this by cross-checking.with baselines. I guess you come up positive for a potentially fatal disease the stats sort of go out the window 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Quest and LabCorp are ramping up their testing ability according to the article. Have met the technician pictured there. Took a tour of their rather large testing facility in Tampa. Abit of a cross between an assembly line and a science project gone macro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let's just assume they are off by 10%, are last weeks numbers acceptable to anyone? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
