So they finally built that part, did they? Was it 20 or 25 years after DIA opened?

Well, DIA opened in 1995 and the A line opened in 2016, so that’s closer to 20 than 25.
Could be worse.
(Wow, those Wikipedia previews are ugly for anything that includes a transit-related infobox. Let’s try this instead.)
Washington Metro Green Line (in a useful form, that is)

News that a doctor at an Arkansas jail was giving inmates Ivermectin for COVID cases made national headlines last month.
Um, if it made national headlines last month, why is TPM reporting it now?
(And don’t even try embarrass me by telling me that it’s just because I was not aware of it until now. I don’t embarrass that easily.)
News that a doctor at an Arkansas jail was giving inmates Ivermectin for COVID cases made national headlines last month. The drug isn’t FDA-approved for that use, nor has it been shown as beneficial in fighting COVID.
But the story got even worse this week: Multiple inmates in the Washington County Detention Center, in Fayetteville, Arkansas, say they weren’t even told that they were taking the deworming drug.
Remember the days when the the doctor would have been immediately suspended and not participate in the discussion on the validity of his quackery?
Karas said he’d been using Ivermectin in his jail and public-facing practices since October. He said in> the same interview that he’d heard from the Arkansas Department of Correction that the department didn’t want him to give Ivermectin to its inmates in the detention center — “so we won’t.”
Well alrighty then, all’s good.

The preponderance of historical evidence is not actually on your side, there.
(Not saying that’s how things ought to be.)

The jail doctor, Rob Karas, had championed the drug on his Facebook page, writing in early August that it was one of several drugs he used to treat COVID-19, and that he’d so far seen “0% mortality in over 350 documented cases at the jail.”
So what? He could report the same results had he treated them by feeding them steak-and-egg breakfasts every day, too.

The new information is that the inmates were not informed they were being given horse dewormer.

Gee, I hope that the foot soldier wasn’t invented in Arkansas.

Well, either that, or they could subject him to his own Ivermectin regimen.

I’d like to see the paperwork for the drivers to get reimbursed for that.
Actually, no, I would not like to see that paperwork.

Not sure about that. It seems to me a lot of “behavior” in lieu of being ostracized and shut down normally gets be a narrative instead. I cannot see a reason one that this Doctor has not been shut down completely at least until a full review of what he has done is completed. By becoming a narrative like this, nothing concludes, it just churns on. Longevity then provides a implied validation to the offending parties. Very Republican thing to do. Very much of the times. Trump himself has lived off that churn and fog all his life.

We live half way between Denver and Wyoming so don’t have any personal experience with the A Line but our son swears by it. Jump on the bus (if you’re not toting too much luggage) to Union Station and hop on the train.
That joke is derivative of a joke that I once heard about Alabama.
