This is a very interesting activity. You will learn a lot about how the rate of infection, or changing the rate of immunity would look like based on different parameters.
Scroll down about halfway through this article, you can adjust the slider between a highly contagious disease, to one with a very short immunity period, in order to figure what different parameters look like for a virus such as Covid-19.

clt says that seems high. What store was this?
Yeah, it was high priced. Kroger. I'll just wait till it goes on sale.
Does sugar, really cost that much more than corn syrup. I think you can buy 5lbs of sugar for a buck. Funny how sugar drinks and foods have become upscale products.

clt can purchase a non corn syrup ketchup at the local Whole Foods for less than that. Something isn’t right here.
I think it is absolutely hilarious if universities and colleges think they will be able to bring back students on campus while minimizing the spread of the virus. Students that live near campuses are already throwing parties and are purposely trying to get the virus.

only because we have tariffs in place to protect the sugar cane and beet growers who can not compete with south america. thats why we have corn syrup in everything. if not for the sugar tariffs corn syrup would not be enough of a cost savings to use as much as it is

I think the next couple weeks will be critical to seeing if we have an on-time start to the season. If states want to have college football, measures (mandatory masks in businesses, gathering size restrictions, etc.) need to be implemented yesterday in order to see a slow in spread by the back half of July. I know high schools in Texas are already canceling summer football camps / workouts. I think playing part of the season in the spring is becoming a more likely event, especially if there is some sort of approved vaccine by early 2021.
This article about the Big 12's theoretical postponement procedures is interesting. Some early criteria are below:
- Losing 25 percent of scholarship players for a game could be a threshold for canceling / postponing a game
- Cross training - coaches need to start implementing cross-training to make sure players can play multiple positions safely

I think we also have price supports for corn. For syrup and ethanol, etc.

High infection rates are not a problem, as long as hospitalize/death rates remain flat. Actually its a very good thing because the likelihood of catching the virus a second time and then passing it on to someone else is very very low.
I asked this question before my brother was released. In BG KY or the region no one has tested positive a second time. Some people never test negative once they catch it...my brother is still testing positive, six weeks later. But he also made a 100% full recovery other than small effects of the 3rd stroke the hospital let him lay there and have. Without treating him for the first 2.
Herd Immunity with acceptable rates of positive test is the only thing that is going to get this country back to normal. A college student that is not unhealthy in a major way has a 99.5% chance of catching this and the affect will be a slight runny nose to a very mild flu. My brother is 62, had a liver transplant 9 years ago, high blood pressure and dialysis 3 times a week. He thought he had food poison and if they had put him on blood thinners after the 1st or at least the 2nd stroke. He would have been home in 5 to 7 days.
Here's the thing about hospitals....once they get you on the COVID floor. You stay there and if treatment or scans or any other type that might save your life...cant be brought to you. You dont get it.
BTW the doctor twice tried to get us to do comfort care and let my brother pass away. The first time he woke up 5 hours after they tried to get consent...singing Elvis and Johnny Cash songs. The 2nd time, I recorded the conversation and it went like this...
"your brother is very very sick, he's been fighting this for a long time. His organs are shutting down. He's bleeding from every place in his body. He is septic and its causing septic shock. A lot of families would go with making him comfortable and let them pass"
That was based on them not being able to take my brother for a simple scan to see where he was bleeding. Come to find out his bleeding was from a old hemorrhoid scar. After 3 units of blood, it stopped and his blood pressure went up and steady so they could do dialysis. After 2 dialysis treatments the septic infection was gone. The bleeding that was suppose to been throughout his body, stopped. ...
3 days later he's moved out of ICU and 6 days later, yesterday is released. He never was put on a ventilator
It's scary to think how many families the doctors tell this to and the family listens to and believes doctors...they let their brothers, fathers, mothers, Sisters, go ahead and die. My brother thanked me for saving his life because if I took the doctor at his word.....
he's 6 ft under, today.
