My 90 year old dad sent an eml with this on it. Reminds me we aren't the first to walk down this path.

Might have to check that link.

Your 90 year old Dad has some really cool lingo going there.

:laughpound Great, the pics showed up when I posted them but like invisible ink - they disappear!!

Might have to check that link.

Yep, that link didn't work to well.

And this is why you shouldn't take medical advice from a former realty TV show host...

Have they tried NyQuil?  I use that s#!t for everything and it always seems to work.

looks like Covid-19 was here earlier than first thought/reported

Yeah, this is really interesting:

 

The two in California had no known travel histories to China or anywhere else that would have exposed them to the virus, Dr. Sara Cody, the county's chief medical officer, told The New York Times. They are presumed to have caught the virus through community spread, she told the Times.
 

"That is a very significant finding," Dr. Ashish K. Jha, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute, told CNN's "New Day" on Wednesday.
 
"Somebody who died on February 6, they probably contracted that virus early to mid-January. It takes at least two to three weeks from the time you contract the virus and you die from it."
 
If they did not contract coronavirus through travel abroad, that also is significant, Jha said.
 
"That means there was community spread happening in California as early as mid-January, if not earlier than that," Jha said.

 
We're going to have to rethink our understanding of the community spread of this disease. It was clearly here and spreading in early January, and possibly sooner.
 
The first known case in China was in November. That means this thing hopped the Pacific in less than two months, and was likely worldwide by early to mid-December.

McConnell's idea of who is worthy of relief and who is not is curious.

This seems pretty major. He's claiming that they retaliated against him for not pushing unproven medications and insisting on evidence-based solutions and that the administration pressured him and others to "fund companies with political connections."

Nothing will come of this. Scientists and other experts will continue to be disparaged or worse as long as we have Trump and the GOP in charge, even if it leads to more people dying.

Sensing a pattern?

watching these 5 o'clock follies is like watching captain Queeg melting down in the Caine mutiny over and over and over again.
