Smart move there, PeaceHealth, firing an experienced ER physician. Good thing there’s no emergency going on, or high demand for medical personnel…

I don’t get what good a curfew will do. There’s nothing special about the hours between 10 PM and 5AM as far as the virus is concerned.

Agreed. If anything, this is just a measure to reduce strain on law enforcement, It does nothing for community spread.

In English, we distinguish between Scandanavian and Nordic, with Finland obviously in the Nordic group only (as well as Iceland), and Sweden being in both. Seems a little different than how you classify yourselves.

Wild: I was at a convention there last year. That place is vast: everyone had plantar fasciitis by the end of the week.

Not sure if all the vagaries in this article can be adequately explained by poor testing, false negatives, false positives.

Anecdotal disclosure and probably rife with confirmation bias: I had gotten some sort of flu (no idea which kind) at the end of January (2020). Not sure where I got infected. Symptoms: high fever, coughing, couldn’t get out of bed for two days. After third day from onset of symptoms, I felt ok-ish and by the end of Day 6 I thought I was fully recovered. On Day 7, I relapsed (same suite of symptoms) for 24 hours. Then I was truly “done.” So I do believe that relapse for some illnesses can and does happen.

Could have taken that picture this morning passing a gun shop in the way to Costco. Fucktards. Our country is in crisis, and your contribution is to be ready to murder someone.

As for Costco:
