‘It’s Just Everywhere Already’: How Delays in Testing Set Back the U.S....
A series of missed chances by the federal government to ensure more widespread testing came during the early days of the outbreak, when containment would have been easier.
A raven drunk…
Sheesh. Get him to do the California Zephyr run over the Rockies or so. Short trip either way, even on the full run only a couple of overnights. Nothing like the friends you can make in the lounge car on a long run.
Thank you for that excellent synopsis of the clash of science and religion. At its heart is the fear of religionists who desire a solid, knowable, unchangeable view of reality vs the scientists whose premise is to allow for flexibility and open-mindedness in order to get closer to the truth.
Most of my friends and relatives are believers. They receive much comfort from the fiction that there is an omnipotent being who watches and guides their every move, and whose motivations they know with certainty. Many are frankly afraid of a world without a god. So afraid, they will fight and kill to preserve the fantasy.
I think his unearthly skin color is more likely due to the fact he’s a bloodless automaton (with an inappropriately high squeaky voice - derelict design).
There is a God, and the fucked-up way life goes is solid proof that She has a twisted and demented sense of humor.
I heard he was sent because he missed the carriage and his dad was annoyed at that.
Some people are saying that he was jealous because the baby had bigger hands than he did
Everyone’s being pretty presumptuous, but it seems to me that the most logical position would be that God would be signing emails with “they/them/their.”
I think this is a “both/and” call not an either/or.
Even after the first case had been diagnosed in WA, the CDC still required recent travel to China to get tested - blinding themselves to the possibility of community spread within WA.
After weeks of asking permission and getting no where, Helen Chu went ahead and tested (in house) her samples from the Seattle flu study. Her lab is not licensed to do patient care, so she was prohibited for reporting the results to the patients who tested positive. She got her IRB to conclude the obvious: yes, tell them anyway
The CDC - who still couldn’t process all the tests that even it’s limited rules allowed fast enough to stop onward transmission- had a fit and told her to cease and desist.
So yes, the feds failed to step in and clear the red tape, but they also actively hindered Dr Chu’s lab

ETA: threading fail, meant to be a reply to @karlwlewis and @yskov

You’re not kidding!
The only teen movie I ever liked was Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure - which I still like.
Rewatched “Dude, Where’s My Car” not too long ago, wasn’t too bad if you’re a silly person (hint: I am…)
Surely not!
Pretty sure they took that right after she’d helped TFG with his morning makeup…

Probably the Minister of the Ministry of Silly Walks by now, stepping over the crocodiles while dodging the stray kangaroo will do that.
Or simple incontinence from excessive Canadian “maple syrup”.

Well, can’t confirm nor deny the cover that @rascal_crone currently provides, but I do confess that this is the actual T-Shirt I’m wearing as I type this…
he showed up and did it with minimal competence. I don’t think he could.
Years before rump was associated with politics the scuttlebutt was that he was a poor little rich boy who hit the lottery when his dad left him with money and Manhattan commercial real estate. So there were people who had this guy’s number in the early 2000’s. To me, it was celebrity gossip. Who knew?
Shit. A Netherlands fan for Euro 2020

There’s a famous quote by a guy who was an actual for-real wheel in Manhattan real estate. It goes like this: “I’m a billionaire. He’s a clown who lives on credit.” He’s been trying and failing to prove that wrong all of his life.

“Here…hold my Foster’s!”
Mind you, the kangaroo was quite distracting.
