You do realize the silliness of being able to "contact trace" if you're standing shoulder to shoulder with strangers? Or you saying that protesters practiced social distancing is by all picture evidence inaccurate? All that said, I'm a supporter of protests. Just not intentional or unintentional rationalizations like yours. Just say "the risk of perpetuating racial justice is more important than the risk of my spreading covid. It's shown that it'd be difficult to contact trace or social distance, which would increase the spread. But, it's worth it." Then. Then you'd be standing on principle and being rational. Otherwise you're fooling yourself. As you're not fooling me. Ps: mask wearing, social distancer here.

If the buffoon Trump and/or the hater press hadn't made hydroxy chloroquine a thing, we'd have run studies, which would have likely been based upon testing etc. If it turns out that hate o Trump caused the press to trash the drug, it'll be on the press for causing 10s of thousands to die. Lessons? - Trump needs to STFU - Press needs to attempt actual reporting Neither will happen.

If I had the $, I'd set up and buy some dealerships along the border.

My last tendril is my Gmail address. What seemed so cool, and invite only, in the mid 2000s when they were "do no evil" is now just creepy. Power corrupting absolutely and all.

This is an interesting next step. They're taking a strategic step to improve margins for a cash cow. All the other stuff is side effects.

Truly curious. Do we have to know what to look for after the fact? We knew about covid-19 in January. Why the delay? Meaning, do we need to know the DNA of the virus to look for it?

Thank you thank you! More nerd stuff, less orange man bad (even if I might agree he is). Like the ESPN CEO said (for the nerds: ESPN covers sport ball), folks want to come here for diversion from the deluge.

You's was one of the best applications of Sun Tzus principles I've read.

Thank you for the polite counterpoint! You both set a bar for civil disagreement.

4. Remove QI (qualified immunity), which will now be easier without unions.

See Alex Berensons initial booklet on Amazon re what age covid-19 affects people. All the data says that under 50 aren't meaningfully affected.

I'm a big fan of cameras that somehow support non repudiation, and somehow prevent the police from being on the job if the cameras are disabled. The thread this pulls on is unions negotiating qualified immunity. Which means that steroid jacked psychopath cop has extra protection when he beats the shit out of a citizen. This thread goes back to the cities negotiating with those unions and allowing that QI. Which lends credence to the idea of restarting police forces from the ground up, stripping them of QI and requiring cams as a condition of being on the job. And maybe, just like a security clearance, issuing 5 year polygraphs to validate that the cops haven't knowingly infringed rights. Just like I had for my TS clearance where they asked if I'd shared info with non US folks. Unions would historically never go for polygraphs or always on cams, but it's clear that there's a good chance they'd be more amenable now than ever before.

Take a small fraction of the license fees paid for msft and pay maintainers? But, obviously, we'd want to know why Germany left OSS and went back to msft. If those fundamental reasons didn't change, then... Tho if this is actually just "America bad" then sure. But that's gonna be a long list of stuff Germany will need to wean themselves from.

Agree we're post virtue signaling. In the very well to do east coast county I live in, see new "luxury" gas cars (audi, BMW, Benz) driven and think "how quaint. They must have not wanted to wait to order one."

Really? You're not "believing all scientists". You must be a MAGA hat wearing Trump loving flyover country living moron. Oh wait. You actually asked good questions about size of the sample size the Dr knew about? Oh, sorry.
