Well, at least Newsom is trying.

On June 14th I predicted/projected that Texas was on pace for 80 to 90K new cases of Covid. I was way off. This State has had 170000+ new cases and there is still one day left.

For the Austin Area I predicted 2600 to 3000 new cases. Those numbers got slaughtered. There we're almost 18000 new cases. Though thankfully they have slowed down the last two day with only around 800 new cases.

We’ll vice versa too
There are plenty of artists who can’t teach their art to save their lives
Ask Ward if he thinks all engineers would teach engineering well

I don’t mind certification or education degrees in theory - esp for lower school, bc that seems to be about 80% class management and 20% content knowledge (university it probably the flip of that)
In HS you really need both

People without education backgrounds should likely be limited to older kids and not everyone has the skill to be a teach. But, of course, having a degree in education doesn't guarantee that skill either. There are lots of teachers out there that are competent, but it seems like the really good ones just have a talent for it that can't be taught. Of course, not all people who want to transition careers have that talent, but it seems like an untapped pool of talent.

This is so sadly true.

The free market will take care of this by setting the price. The more people want to buy them, the more someone else will start to produce them, and the price will stabilize by the invisible hand. This is how it always works in the long run, amirite?

Of course, as Lord Keynes famously said, "In the long run, we're all dead."

Depends...

they have two basic options, without thinking too hard.

1. They distribute tests to companies like they do the Flu.. a nurse comes in, administers a bunch of shots at a work site., then you go to Walgreens, CVS, etc.

1.a. you set it up like the mobile test sites, and distribute vaccines.

2. The US Post office. https://www.wired.com/story/us-postal-plan-coronavirus-vaccine-doomsday/

There was something else on this same subject. One point, is that usually your body doesn't just pump out all of the various antibodies that you have. But, you'd have memory cells to be able to ramp up production again, if needed.

This gets into that and a lot more.

Why antibodies are crucial to fighting viruses

Antibody tests offer a way to find out if we've been exposed to the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. But what are antibodies? An expert explains.

The invisible hand will make sure it has a glove.

Yeah I read a pretty in depth thread on reddit with some MD'sa and scientists chiming in to say why this isn't TERRIBLE news for a vaccine. Its not good news, but it's not as bad as it seems because of the memory cells. Also went into detail about how early trials have produced many more antibodies than a real infection but this could be a vaccine that will need to be taken once a year to boost immunity if a vaccine is discovered

part of what I posted also talked about that older people have weaker immune responses.. meaning, produce less anti bodies, compared to young kids.
