    We can continue this post-pandemic...let's not give mods a reason to close a normally informative thread (although apparently you learned about the Faroe Islands AND the emoji library).

    You're cute when you're mad.

    I got my passport. Let's go to Faroe now and get away from this pandemic!

    Nonsense. The first King of Norway had hair all over the place, and was still called Harald Fairhair....

    Back when the Faroe Islands were under Norwegian rule...

    You are going to make Mathguy jealous!
    Chloe I can't tell if you are just being very silly/playful or if you're still upset with me over the other thread? I really didn't mean anything bad or insensitive to the elderly. I absolutely didn't. I tried to PM you as an effort to mend fences. Ive always enjoyed interacting with you online and that thread where you got upset with me was a huge shocker. :/ I had no idea, none at all, that you felt that way.

    I'm just not sure tbh. Maybe you're just joking and being playful. No worries. It's just I can't tell now b/c of all the odd homosexual inferences/digs. Truly I'm not sure anymore b/c I don't know if you are still upset?

    In any case, I really hope we don't get the thread shutdown.

    Is that because you are attracted to King Harald Fairhair?

    Asking for a friend...

    Ehhhh.... for an utterly mind crushing amount of money I might be, but it'd really only be possible if they looked *exactly*, in every single aspect & component part, like:
    Charlize Theron, Lily James, Alice Eve, Zoe Saldana, Olivia Wilde, Kate Beckinsale, or Shakira. So, basically, they're female :) Or anything that's along the lines of those women listed! Hahahaha. In that case sure!

    That’s because the developing world is well behind the curve. India, Nigeria, Philippines, etc. These are countries with huge populations, very very dense cities, and poor health infrastructure. It’s a disaster waiting to happen quite frankly.

    Yes, those are global figures.

    And while I accept commentary that certain countries may have unreliable numbers for a variety of reasons, it is most likely that they will be consistently incorrect by the same factor. Thus, the trend line should be going the right direction and at the same velocity, even if it is off in terms of where it sits on the Y-axis

    Harris County numbers spiked today. The curve is clearly different for hotspots versus ROW. Although the Faroe Islands stuff is interesting, the rest of the cold countries which are less congested ALSO show relatively high Recovered numbers as well as low Deaths numbers. Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden. It will be interesting to read the scholarly papers on this crisis once it is well behind us.

    I don't think it's as weather oriented as it is population density. That's key I think--population density.

    Once the poor countries catch it, the numbers will devastate.
