      Good article. Don't care if it's not going to change anything.
      Agreed.

          Ha. I came across that one (but just now learned its name) back in the 90s. We were bidding on building an aircraft system, and were required to provide a “maintenance cost” guarantee on a per operator basis. Our Program Manager did a basic expected value calculation (how often each part breaks x cost to fix each part) and was ready to offer that up as our guarantee. I literally had to yell, “stop!” to get him to listen. The problem was that most operators were only going to have between 1 and 5 airplanes, so there were going to be hundreds of tiny fleets. Using the expected value (which would have been okay for a single large fleet of 1000 airplanes) would have been a financial disaster for our company to guarantee to all of those small fleets. I had to do a ton of Monte Carlo simulations to convince him.

          Sorry - back to your regularly scheduled Trump bashing.
          If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

              This is UNRELATED to any deal that Ventec may have with the US Government. There is ZERO input in this from the Trump administration.
              Why volunteered? Usg will buy these, or the states. Gm and Ford ain’t donating

                1) That is a very good article

                2) It is astounding that Trump is so awful at being President that calling on George W. Bush for leadership is actually a valid request. The guy who basically let New Orleans drown is STILL better than the clown in there now.

                    Adapted from a 3M comm:

                    3M has received inquiries from hospitals about disinfecting/reusing their N95 respirators. 3M is working with two major disinfection companies and consulting with external experts to find an effective disinfection method.

                    3M is also partnering with Ford to increase the production of powered air purifying respirators (PAPRs)

                      Just what I was thinking.

                      Up until Dump there was a compelling case that Dubya was the worst President in history and a lead pipe cinch he was the worst in a hundred years. Dump is such an exceptional disaster on every axis that Dubya is now the mean, with all other presidents in a bell curve stretching in a solar system above him, then an interstellar gap, and then Dump.

                        Apparently Chinas numbers werent including asymptomatic patients.

                        "I have no idea why the authorities choose not to count [asymptomatic] cases in the official case count. I am baffled," said one of the Wuhan doctors who had a second positive test after recovering.

                          No, it can't. GM doesn't own it anymore...

                            Another reason why we need to test everyone. From NYT

                            “ More than 30 health care workers were exposed to the coronavirus after 2 women with undetected Covid-19 gave birth at a New York City hospital last week. The babies do not seem to have contracted the virus so far, the hospital said.”

                              China's numbers aren't going to be worth anything, like Russia's.

                              Hopefully ours will be but who knows how deep the GOP rot has set in?
