    Hey Steve,

    What Gary Busey movie are you watching while drinking?

    Here in Canada the local craft brewery’s have all started home delivery.

    Pre social distancing I would have considered getting booze delivered a low point in my drinking... now it’s the highlight of my week.

    ***
    A number of brewery’s and distillers are actually making hand sanitizer now.

    ...Hmm...

    I'd say that, in the event that they Are able to re-open, they'd best be able to spool it back up to standard, or even higher, production in about a 2-week span (I'm assuming they get things going in June). If, because beer IS essential to the travel industry, primarily resorts, specifically Original Resorts. Yessirr...

    Don't they know I'm on my way June 26, weird virus situation willing?

    Our local craft brewery has been doing home delivery for the past month and it's popular. Cases of 12 x 650ml bombers are flying out the door plus mini-kegs, all via online ordering. We don't partake as it's only a 2-minute walk from our house, proving the Golden Rule of real estate is still "Location, location, location!".

    I'm the local bootlegger. Made a run over state lines last night and my truck has about $1000 of booze in it today that I need to deliver.

    I am basically Corona Santa Clause, but with a cooler sleigh.

    This site seems pretty useful.
    Data-Driven Prediction of COVID-19 Pandemic End Dates

    It predicts the date of peaks in various countries and the date by which the virus should be 97% ended

    For Mexico peak date is predicted to be May 4th, with 97% end on June 12th

    Actually, for Mexico it says 97% end of June 25th. 99% end on July 12th.

    Thanks for sharing. It was a really interesting read.

    I’m a huge data and modeling nerd, and while I’m a physicist not a biologist the models are fairly familiar.

    It’s important to understand that the front side data (‘what we know’) is imprinted with social distancing measures, the peak and decay would imply that this continues. As the measures are lifted it will have the effect of lengthening the tail end.

    Looks like it updated between my post and yours. They update daily. I notice the peak date for Mexico shifted to May 5th, it was May 4th earlier.

    30/4 data for Mexico was higher than the existing trend, that's probably why the dates slipped.
