This is week three for me on the Covid19 trajectory, and week 5 for my wife. No 
illusions here.

My personal anecdotal experience:
My family contracted it, we are in isolation. For my wife and I, it was 
serious, especially for me as it progressed into my lungs. Last weekend was 
terrifying as my condition was rapidly deteriorating and I was struggling to 
breath. My blood oxygen levels -- we have a sensor unit at home -- dropped 
below 90 and my pulse rate, which for me, at rest, is normally around 60 went 
up to above 80. Pleuritis set in and breathing felt like broken glass shards 
were in the bottom of my lungs. At the covid emergency clinic I  went to that 
my provider has setup the doctors were worried and wanted me to go to the 
hospital. It looked like pneumonia might have set in, but x-rays, they took, 
thankfully ruled that out. 
I am slowly recovering and my blood oxygen levels have climbed up out of the 
real danger zone where sepsis can begin occurring. They fluctuate in a band 
between 92-95, and my resting pulse rate has come back down towards 60 again. 
Slowly but surely I am breathing easier and feel my health & life returning. 
The pain from the pleuritis has gone way down as well.
I am lucky to have very good health insurance and to be working for a large 
software company here that has been supportive as I've gone through this 
ordeal and to be in a role that is important especially now. The division I 
work for enables enterprises to operate in the cloud by providing a hybrid 
identity service that can protect access to all their on-premises 
applications/services by enabling authentication/authorization from remote 
users through our cloud.
My wife did not get as sick as I did, but we are both suffering fatigue; our 16 
year old daughter probably got this, but hardly felt anything.
For many people this may not be that serious, but others are dying.
Please stay safe and do your part to help hold the transmission rate down in 
order to give our over-taxed medical systems the ability to handle the critical 
load.
Last weekend was terrifying for me at a personal level, as I -- like everyone 
else -- saw thise images of dead bodies piled up in make shift morgues 
thinkibg I could be one of them.

RE: Does time flow?

['Chris de Morsella' via Everything List]

Read a thought provoking hypothesis proposed by Swiss physicist Nicolas Gisin 
in four papers he authored that questions the widely accepted block universe 
model of Relativity on a mathematical basis, centered on the proposition that 
infinitely precise real numbers do not exist in nature. 
Mathematics assumes the existence of infinitely precise real numbers as a 
given; Nicolas Gisin questions that assumption. Instead Grisin argues that a 
hundred year old branch of mathematics called Intuitionust Mathematics that 
rejects the existence of numbers with infinite digitsvof precision is used to 
describe the evolution of physical systems, it becomes clear that time really 
passes and that new information is being created.
The block universe model of spacetime argues for a static -- pre-ordained -- 
universe in which past, present and future are illusions and all that is always 
has been.
Modern information theory however shows that information is physical, it 
requires both energy and space. He questions how a block universe hypothesis 
could contain -- essentially infinite -- all the information encoded in the 
block universe in the initial state at the moment of the big bang. 
Intuitionist mathematics accepts the reality of irrational values such as say 
pi that have an infinite series of digits of precision because a formula exists 
that can in theory calculate its value to any degree of precision.
But say we have an arbitrary value x that is initially measured to some point 
of precision of x=0.4 (the example given) and that this value unfurls to 
greater and greater degrees of precision. Perhaps the series of 9s continues 
forever and thus x is exactly equal to 1/2, but if at any point a digit of 
lower value is encountered this quantity will forever be less than 1/2.  Before 
that happens we cannot know what x is equal to, our knowledge depends on this 
unfolding sequence.
"But before that happens, when all we know is 0.4999, “we don’t know whether or 
not a digit other than 9 will ever show up,” explained Carl Posy, a philosopher 
of mathematics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a leading expert on 
intuitionist math. “At the time we consider this x, we cannot say that x is 
less than ½, nor can we say that x equals ½.” The proposition “x is equal to ½” 
is not true, and neither is its negation. The law of the excluded middle 
doesn’t hold."
"In other words, the world is indeterministic; the future is open. Time, Gisin 
said, “is not unfolding like a movie in the cinema. It is really a creative 
unfolding. The new digits really get created as time passes.”"

I think that was my original hypothesis, which is apparently incorrect as 
it would result in a single emission frequency, not that of a blackbody.

Ventilators

[John Clark]

The good news is that today in the very first contract made under the
Defense Production Act GM was ordered to make 30,000 ventilators for $489.4
million. The bad news is they won't be ready until late August. Pity this
was done on April 8 not January 8. Meanwhile as of 19:17 GMT 14,369
Americans have died of COVID-19 and at its rate of increase in a few hours
it will overtake Spain and become #2 in the total death count category. It
won't take long for the USA to overtake Italy and become #1 because Italy's
death count is now only doubling every 2 weeks, but the USA's death count
is still doubling every 4 days.

Re: COVID-19 needs a Manhattan Project

[Lawrence Crowell]

To take this more generally there is the global viral genome project

http://www.globalviromeproject.org/

that would in principle give us a better heads up on possible emergent 
infections. A global comprehensive understanding of what viruses exist and 
their genetic sequences, at least with some sampling, would give health 
care workers and social systems a better ability to predict and respond to 
such outbreaks.

They episodically return though, such as Monday I had the dry cough and

Nice to hear that you are recovering health, you and the people you care about, 
Chris. That virus is something to take seriously, no doubt.
I am actually teaching at a distance, which gives much more work, but I am 
happy to be able to do that. 
I hope we will learn some lesson from this, and that we will manage the 
economic aftermath in some fair ways for everybody.

Best,

Bruno
