Try to keep safe
i think it was posted here a while back when it was 1 of 1200 or something like that. i remember pulling out my calculator to verify. it was the most depressing piece of news i had/have heard in a long while
Public health officials have privately complained that the thwarting of Redfield on the cruise ship ban is politically motivated because the industry is a major economic presence in Florida â a key battleground state where the polls are statistically tied.
âThe president, the vice president and the task force follow the science and data to implement policies that protect the public health and also facilitate the safe reopening of our country,â he said. âIt is not about politics. It is about saving lives.â
âWhat science?â
âTop⌠science.â
Scene shift to view of vast warehouse full of coffins.
Again, and to no oneâs great surprise, Il Douche spouts crap that he doesnât understand and expects praise for it. Vote this ignorant narcisistic asshole out of office for the sake of our children!
Though the new standards for an authorization have not yet been released, people familiar with them told The Washington Post that they would require vaccine developers to follow participants for a median of at least two months after their final dose of a vaccine (several of the vaccines currently in late-stage trials require two doses). The standards would also require vaccine developers to identify at least five cases of severe COVID-19 in trial participants who received a placebo, rather than an experimental vaccine. The new standards also require the trials to identify cases in older participants who received a placebo.
This is the âextra toughâ standard? 2 whole months? 5 cases? I donât know man, we may be headed for disaster here.
Good data to have, but to most of us, it is about as shocking as âSun rises in East, new study finds.â Still, the current regime will call it fake and way to many will trust them. Sigh.
Why yes, a letter from a man who says he hates socialism
Reality says it was about politics.
Some jerk complained that some local schools were letting special ed instructorsâ kids be at the schools where they worked 4 of 4 days, instead of the 2 of 4 days most kids are going.
Itâs 3 kids, at a school that has 20 vacant special ed positions it hasnât been able to fill, and could lose staff if they wonât accommodate basic needs. WTF?
Weâve been here already, and learned fucking nothing!! As my pediatric office rapidly morphs into a psychiatric office, I watch this stuff with frustration and anger. How we can be this stupid is beyond me.
Itâs the same here in Tijuana. The two houses north of ours have extended family units who have regularly held large parties with many guests, no masks, with drinking and close mingling during the entire pandemic. People just donât give a damn.
Some deniers who learned the hard way recant publicly, or have their stories shared. The media doesnât have these on a loop all day, every day though. They keep following that model of sensational stories on the front page and retractions buried in the back, next to the classified ads:
We have white hat hackers, where are the bots to flood social media with these stories?
Tangential, but get your flu shot.
I didnât get a Scooby band-aid.
What we donât have, apparently, are journalists.
