Ark the Grid program was in an orange pilot flight suit as she sat on the edge of an X-Wing's wing in the Resistance Base. She was munching on snacks out of a ration kit while talking to the droid who was slotted in and doing diagnostics on the starfighter. Every now and then, she'd hand one of the snacks to an Air Sprite who was hanging around with her, much to the Air Sprite's delight.

The droid beeped and whistled their irritation with her and she replied, "I did say that I had flown before, but I also said that it was pretty different from a spaceship."

Beep-whirrrr. "Okay, yes, starfighter, not just a spaceship, sorry."

Click click fweeeeee. "I completed all the flight training simulations and they said I needed to get practice in an actual ship. Besides, the flight went just fine, the landing was just a little...rough."

Brrrrrr whooop. "I told you that I'd help you fix it after you got done checking it over. Cloudy'll probably assist, too. It looked like the landing gear just got a little scraped up, it shouldn't be too hard to repair."

Toot toot toot bwip. "I know I'm not an expert on repairs, but I'll follow your lead and listen to you and Poe's nearby if we need help."

OK! I know I just sent one but one more and I'll Slither back into my lurking hole

How you feel about Cynthia??

Very important question!

Wife, perfection, 10/10 literally the only character I've bothered with dating ("interacting") on Masters EX

School sketches of R0 because I felt nostalgic and also because I wanted to redesign his uniform

Also realized today that I may have been in the wrong school striving to impress the wrong people for three years straight, yaaay...

There are lots of beautiful Les Pauls out there, but this one was a spectacular beauty: @lacquer_channel_phil's #Gibson Custom #CollectorChoice #R0 #Dutchburst, graciously loaned to me in back 2019. .

ウイルスの感染速度である【新規感染者数】が減少する要因としては、①外部条件の変化（人流・回避行動等の程度）か②内部特性の変化（R0等）が考えられますが、このうち①は国によって大きく異なるため、世界共通の流行時期を説明できません。つまり、感染の拡大縮小は②による自然現象と考えられます 一般に、変異株の構成割合が劇的に変化するタイミング毎に流行がほぼ同時に発生して、ほぼ同時のタイミングで収束するのはなぜかと考える時、何らかの原因で変異株毎に内部特性の変化（マクロな【基本再生産数 R0】の低下）が共通のメカニズムで生じていると考えるのが合理的です 感染の自然減少がR0の低下による場合、宿主を変えるたびにR0の【分散 dispersion】が減少し、流行の元凶である【super-conductive】なウイルスが淘汰され、マクロなR0が減少し、結果として実効再生産数Rtが減少するというメカニズムが考えられます。検体データを独占する感染研はぜひ検証して下さい

@stonefacepie R0 and Punk drunk and most likely going to get arrested at the end of the night lmfao

One quantity scientists use to measure how a disease spreads through a population is the "basic reproduction number," otherwise known as RO (pronounced "R naught," or, if you hate pirates, "arr not").

If RO is less than 1, the disease will typically die out: Each infected person has a low chance of passing the infection along to even one additional individual. An RO larger than 1 means each sick person infects at least one other person on average, who then could infect others, until the disease spreads through the population.

As you can see from the chart above, measles is a champion disease in this respect. Its RO is usually cited between 12 and 18, meaning each person with measles infects between 12 and 18 new people in an unvaccinated population.

Hi friends, I’m not an epidemiologist but I’ve learned a decent amount about epidemiology in medical school and I’d like to tell you about R0 (pronounced “are not”) which is measured in the population as Rt.

R0 is a measure of infectiousness of a transmissible disease. We use it to determine things like how many people have to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity. Say a virus has an R0 of 15. This means that for every 1 person who catches the virus, they are likely to spread it to 15 other people.

However, we can do things like vaccination, mask wearing, and social distancing to decrease Rt, which is the actual measured infectiousness in a defined area.

When Rt is less than one (AKA when the entire confidence interval is below one), that means that everyone infected will spread to less than one other person. This will cause new infections to drop and the disease will stop spreading.

You can check a constantly updated COVID-19 Rt for each state here: https://rt.live

Right now, a few states have their means below one, but no state has their entire confidence interval below one. But how does this translate into real life?

If your state gets their confidence interval below one, it means that they have been doing enough to combat the virus and they must continue this work for at least four more weeks (two virus cycles) assuming no new cases came in via travel. If your state has a confidence interval above one, it means you need to do more. Do more and more until you get that Rt below one and then KEEP DOING THAT for four more weeks.

This is not political, I just wanted to share a factual non-fear tactic way to follow the virus that is impacting all of our lives. If we all double down on social distancing and stopping the spread, we can do it!
