My wife served on a jury considering the not guilty by reason of insanity defense of a guy who had kidnapped and molested an eight-year old girl (there was no argument that he hadn't done it). She felt for the guy (his life story/childhood was unbelievably horrible and he had himself been a...

Reporting (well a more of a press release) of some promising vaccine test results: https://www.timesofisrael.com/modernas-israeli-top-medical-officer-weve-shown-today-that-our-vaccine-works/?fbclid=IwAR113bBOeil1WB0UYZ1cpZYeisv97_NmpEYVQegbzvcQU7Ty3D2buqO6D8A

My Dad's a fan of Foster's lager oil cans. Got a taste for them socializing with Aussie soldiers when he was in 'Nam.

One of these things is utterly implausible.

Through 5 episodes of Giri/Haji: https://www.netflix.com/title/80190519 Enjoying it a lot, although anytime Kelly MacDonald wants to play a character that isn't annoying, that would be great.

Would be really sad if he can't keep his special wood up ...

Would eat the hell out of that.

This is exactly right. He's a whore, but he's our whore and the competition's been running a brothel for the other guys.

A university actually cut a bunch of administrators. And almost three times more of them than of faculty. I know it's Beavis, but color me impressed.

Of course. I'm not running around saying "holy shit, everybody's going to keep getting this again and again until there's nobody left", but I'd certainly prefer not to have reports that getting it once might not mean you won't get it again.

I don't know about that. Just too ignorant on the subject matter. Regardless, getting it more than once seems like a bummer (except for the fact that it means it didn't kill your the first time).

Do you think it's good news that there is now some evidence that his virus, which seems to cause substantially worse symptoms in many people than a cold, and for which we do not yet have vaccines, like the flu, can be acquired repeatedly? It would seem to kind of put a damper on hopes that herd...

Watch the 1987 movie Robocop. It pretty much foreshadows what much of the U.S. now is. "We the people" reward assholes. It's hard to tell how much of the federal dysfunction is chicken and how much is egg.

Twinkies will probably kill COVID-19 66%. Would be interesting to know what percentage of people are staying home. I have no idea.

No disagreement on any of that.

And nothing that the government is doing, other than shutting down gyms, is preventing those things, at least not where I am where going outside is fine. I'm down 12 or so pounds since this thing started and the air is much better.

I don't even disagree with that, and I don't think that anyone else does either: People being in close proximity and in confined spaces clearly abets transmission, assuming that someone in the group is infected. But it seems contrary to your policy positions, which is have everyone working and...

That's all well and good. Your article lists common comorbidities like high blood pressure, which per this link from the CDC is something that 45% of Americans have., obesity, and diabetes. https://www.cdc.gov/bloodpressure/facts.htm That doesn't answer the policy question of whether or not...
