Event Update For 2020-12-26

http://jumpingjackflashhypothesis.blogspot.com/2012/02/jumping-jack-flash-hypothesis-its-gas.html

The seas, lakes and oceans are now pluming deadly hydrogen sulfide and suffocating methane. Hydrogen sulfide is a highly toxic water-soluble heavier-than-air gas and will accumulate in low-lying areas. Methane is slightly more buoyant than normal air and so will be all around, but will tend to contaminate our atmosphere from the top down. These gases are sickening and killing oxygen-using life all around the world, including human life, as our atmosphere is increasingly poisoned. Because both gases are highly flammable and because our entire civilization is built around fire and flammable fuels, this is leading to more fires and explosions. This is an extinction level event and will likely decimate both the biosphere and human population and it is debatable whether humankind can survive this event.

A. More fires and more explosions, especially along the coasts, but everywhere generally.
B. Many more animal die-offs, of all kinds, and especially oceanic species.
C. More multiples of people will be found dead in their homes, as if they'd dropped dead.
D. More corpses found in low-lying areas, all over the world.
E. More unusual vehicular accidents.
F. Improved unemployment numbers as people die off.

2020-12-26 - CDC updates guidance to say that you shouldn't ASSUME wearing masks has prevented infection:
http://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/php/public-health-recommendations.html

Note: That would be the case even if masks cut transmission by 99.99% - you could still be in the 0.01%. And they're nowhere near that effective. In the hamster study, the best case scenario was that masks prevent two-thirds of transmissions, and that's if the infected individuals are the ones wearing the masks. That's helpful but since it's not 100% prevention then you need to quarantine to verify your status before you assume you weren't infected and go around infecting others. Common sense.

Assume Chinese scientists have a reasonable degree of competence and that the hamster study was on the money. (They have certainly gotten control over the virus much better than WE have.) So if you spend 15 minutes within 6 feet with an infected person and they're wearing a mask, roll a six-sided die and if 1 or 2 doesn't show up, you've avoided infection. That's still a 33% chance of infection! But what if you have TEN such encounters? Then your odds of getting infected rise to more than 98%. In other words, however helpful masks are, what's way more effective is to simply avoid people, especially encounters within 6 feet for 15 minutes or longer. You spend enough time around other people, your odds of getting infected go waaaay up, regardless of mask usage. In fact, a county where masks are mandated but where people have those kinds of encounters regularly could very well be WORSE than a county with no mandate but where people more scrupulously avoid contact. Obviously nobody's done any statistical analysis of that because there's no data available for that...
