My DiffEq class had a 15 year old kid in it, he was the prof's son. 

He made an A.  So did I.
As did I, but it was one of the toughest A's I ever got, and I got those in all but 4-5 classes out of 160 credits.

I got an A in DiffEQ and though it was tough-- until I took senior-level Electromagnetics.  And Solid State Physics.  And Electrical Circuit Theory II.

The big thing from @Hawkinole 's story was that while he was wearing a mask, neither client was. The biggest advantage of a mask isn't to protect you, but it's to catch a lot of the stuff coming out of your own mouth and protect others. So if you're contagious and don't know it (which appears to be the case here), you can keep from spreading it by using a mask. He probably wouldn't have contracted it if his clients had masks on, regardless of whether he did.
I put a plexiglass shield in front of my receptionist with space beneath it to pass documents. I have no receptionist now -- she was told to stay home until after my isolation is over. I am looking carefully at the shield now that I am using her work station -- it is amazing how many dried droplets I see. And I cleaned it at least once since putting it up a  couple months ago. This is not a grocery store. I haven't had many people in here since I put it up. Now I can see people naturally spit, more than I knew, when they talk.

Must be like Purdue's EE 311: Electromagnetic fields and waves.

Basically it's the E&M physics semester, on crack. The only class I've ever needed to use triple integrals.

DiffEQ was awful. It also didn't help that I was routed into the liberal arts math schedule instead of the engineer math series. It was my hardest class... until I took deformable body mechanics, steel and reinforced concrete design, and fluid mechanics. Oof.

I'll admit I was much more in the survive-and-advance camp than the deans list.

Yeah, that's exactly what it was.  I think it was EE423 at Texas.  Actually not a senior level course now that I think about it, I took it my junior year as I recall.  Triple integrals for sure.  That class was... intense.

I really loved the chemistry and physics behind Solid State, though.  It was really interesting studying wafer doping in theory, and then working directly in the field of particle acceleration and ion implantation for several years after graduation.

My hardest undergrad course was PChem.

My hardest in grad school was called Bonding.  The professor would lecture and I would read the text book, and nothing made sense.  I somehow made a P.

61,332 tests in Florida yesterday. 7.49% positive. Not good. I want to see under 5%.

I'd like to see under 15% in Iowa

Georgia still fairly stable on new cases, edging up some but not bad.

Europe MIGHT be at a peak (we all hope), but that is way too early to call, it would be a weekend blip.

That is deaths, you can see the parallel situation pretty clearly, offset by about two weeks.  The US has not YET started back up that hill thought it is trending a bit.

Yeah, we're trending up but the shape of the rise has been linear, not following [YET] the curve in cases. 

If we're going to follow the curve, we should start seeing it the remainder of this week. If it remains a more linear rise, that's a good sign.

We're beating this thing!  Our spread is no longer astronomical!
Sir, I think you mean 'exponential'.
Right, yes!  It's more of a straight, slanted line you can make with a ruler!
Did you mean 'linear,' sir?
Yes, line-ee-er.  And speaking of rulers, a great ruler,...myself.

I personally don't find that last post helpful or topical.
