The old adage “Little things mean a lot” is especially true when it comes to Covid. Out of necessity, I have been going to the local supermarket every week to get milk, steak, bread, salad, and potatoes. Since the first days of the pandemic in March (?), I have been […]
Two weeks before the election, a President accuses his sole adversary as running a “criminal enterprise”. To play the Devil’s advocate, let’s assume that he is right. The challenger is a criminal, and his family are criminals, and they have engaged in racketeering — i.e. conspiracy. Now we can’t trust […]
["2020-09-22",118273,1967], ["2020-09-23",119798,2029] What do these numbers mean? Today is September 24, 2020 and yesterday, the 23rd, 2029 people died from Covid-19 in the state of Missouri. And the day before on the 22nd, 1967 were dead. That means that 62 people died on the 23rd from Covid19. There were 118K […]
Listen to the political leaders here in the USA talk about wearing face masks to limit the spread and exposure to Covid-19. I don’t have any direct quotes, but actions speak louder than words.

Today, April 24, 2020 I calculate a 16.1 doubling number for the State of Georgia. Given a total case count of 20,905 yields a 90 day estimate until there are a million cases of covid19. That would be July 23, 2020. If the spread of covid19 has not checked, then […]
