    Secular Indonesian groups warn govt to save democracy

    Don't worry, I know a echo chamber when I see one. Enjoy the silence.

    Secular Indonesian groups warn govt to save democracy

    Exchanging information and not flinging mud leads to better understanding. Having being branded a Trump agent on EXPAT I have to run to get to work hacking the voting systems ;) Thanks and Cheers

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    What you gave here is work done with MATHEMATICAL MODELS which if you did any kind of modeling would make you alert to the fact that it is not the same as going out and actually testing. What they are doing is INFERRING. That in science is very close to guessing because if you infer something to...

    Secular Indonesian groups warn govt to save democracy

    There are many very knowledgeable people on foreign affairs, economy, politics and finance who present their analysis on their own web sites or sites that specialize in those topics. There are also news sources that have nothing to do with what we take as MSM yet they do write articles or offer...

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    How are you going to identify who has low viral load. PCR can not do it. What is the "low viral load" value ? Give me a study where this is given because what I have seen over the last 9 or so months is , "researchers suspect it is low" or " experts estimate". SARS-CoV2 virus has clearly shown...

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    I'd like to share with you what I have learned about the RT-PCR test that is being used all over the world to find "cases". Note, case does not mean you have temperature, that you are feeling bad or coughing. When we see the figure "cases" it could be people that were feeling bad or feeling just...

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    I sensed that the CNN writer was challenging the Ministry but the way it was written was a bit shaky. Perhaps it comes across better in Indonesia but reading the translation had me going for a bit. I still chuckle that nothing was said about the downward trend in deaths. Perhaps death was also...

    Secular Indonesian groups warn govt to save democracy

    Good to see students being introduced to the muddy waters of source material. Starting with this topic in 8th grade is challenging as the life experience of the individual is limited. But heck, you have to start somewhere. I like the use of Stalin as I suspect I know which images you are...

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    Huuum, I used a translation service so I can't be sure if I understood the article completely but yes, it is as clear as mud. I checked the graph and we do see a DECLINING TREND from Oct. 28th to Nov. 1st of positive cases as well as tests taken. Toward the bottom he then writes about the...

    Secular Indonesian groups warn govt to save democracy

    Glad to be of service. ;) "we are doing source examination " I find this interesting. How do you approach this ? Case studies ? If so what sort of cases and what questions to do you ask the students to answer ?

    Secular Indonesian groups warn govt to save democracy

    Rest assured, I'm not trying to change your worldview on what is worth knowing or not. I was just suggesting that what is being offered in the MSM as the best truth money can buy best be taken with a grain of salt. Lies about Iraq do effect people even if their kids were not sent there, their...

    Secular Indonesian groups warn govt to save democracy

    I'm a bit baffled that you think it is unnecessary work to be better informed. I suspect perhaps you are of the opinion that a person with a position set in concrete doing such work is wasting time. You are probable correct in general but my experience has been that if you take such a position...

    Hi from a Schlumberger Engineer who started in Badak, East Kalimantan

    Chris I'm no longer in Indonesia. I still go on vacation to Bali, Java and Lombok Isl. but this travel does not involve business. The only hashes I ran were in Badak and in Duri. I've been in many countries on this planet but Indonesia was the only place where I ran into Hash House Harriers.

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    The RT-PCR test is a can of worms once you start to drill down into the subject to see the problems. IMHO you do not need to be a doctor to understand how it works theoretically. Once you understand the basics such as viral load, Ct parameter, RNA, florescence, etc you can with time better...

    Hi from a Schlumberger Engineer who started in Badak, East Kalimantan

    Hi Everyone After graduating from University of Wisconsin - Madison in 1980 I joined Schlumberger which set me off on a World Journey. I trained in Brunei but my first posting was in Badak, East Kalimantan. I never stopped being in awe in seeing the jungle and the plants/animals that were...
