Tragic story from my hometown that happens to be in the hudson valley which getting slammed pretty hard by the coronavirus
She said her brother had psychological and substance abuse problems but said he was off his meds because the facility where he was receiving counseling and medication in Middletown was closed because of the coronavirus.
Well, that is some Grade A bullshit right there.
I particularly like the swift descent from:
and:
What Iām doing here is nothing exotic. Iām taking standard Darwinian economicsāstandard economic-evolutionary theory out of Darwināand applying it to this particular case. And, if thatās wrong, somebody should tell me.
to:
Boo-yah! Straight to the ad hominemā¦
It is true that some lawyers learn to cross-examine, I think it equally true that none of us learn to be cross-examined. Especially Professors of Law.
What are the country club G and T drinkers gonna do now?
[Epstein] More importantly, on the other side, where thereās no dispute, itās clear that people will start to evolve away from these things so that the rate of transmission will start to go down.

eta: Another alumni of the Hoover Institution is Dinesh DāSouza. Shock!
I thought it was Pimmās, strawberries and cream.
Heās a climate change denialist, too. When this is all over, there should be a register of assholes who are never again given a platform from which to spew their stupid opinions.

āWe cannot comply with CDC guidelines and stay six feet away from our clients,ā Negron said. She does facials and nails at her salon in Apache Junction, 30 miles east of Phoenix. āI have many elderly clients and I donāt want to put them at risk.ā
She has decided to voluntarily close after 14 years in business. But she said it would have been easier had the governor made the call to shut everyone down.
What it means to force people to choose:
Ricardo ZĆŗƱiga, a 28-year-old college student, said a pre-existing health condition made him nervous about continuing to deliver flowers for a large company, ābut Iām afraid Iāll simply be replaced and not have a job at all when this situation is over if I choose to stay homeā.

This is actually kind of cool.
