A wise move. I’ve been serving because our tech crew has been very thin, even before the pandemic, and as someone at only moderate risk personally, I rolled the dice. Now, I’ll be back working with the same people who have been in my bubble since March, several of whom will be recovered from the disease soon.

re: #48 Charles Johnson
Let me know if some grown man cried for the first time at the announcement that Trump had discovered a vaccine.
re: #43 Yeah Sure WhatEVs
The US pre-bought doses as part of WS. That was their only interaction.
Particularly since it was developed by a German company (founded by Turkish immigrants) and they partnered with Pfizer because the German company had no way to produce large quantities of vaccine.
So I went to look up the Cuomo claim. It comes from the right wing fever swamps, made it to FOX, where I assume Trump got it.
What Gov. Cuomo actually said is here:
Gov. Cuomo on possible COVID-19 vaccine: ‘Good news, bad news’ (Newsday)
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said Monday a possible vaccine for COVID-19 is good news, but he worried the Trump administration will fail to distribute it quickly and equitably.
Pfizer said Monday morning that the two-shot vaccine it is developing is more than 90% effective in clinical trials, and could be available by the end of the year.
“It’s good news, bad news,” Cuomo said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
“The good news is that the Pfizer tests look good and we’ll have a vaccine shortly,” the governor said. “The bad news is that it’s about two months before Joe Biden takes over and that means this administration is going to be implementing a vaccine plan.”
The Trump administration “is rolling out the vaccination plan and I believe it’s flawed,” Cuomo said.
President Donald Trump is relying mainly on the private sector, including pharmacies and hospitals, to administer the vaccine, Cuomo said, “and that’s going to leave out all sorts of communities that were left out the first time when COVID ravaged them.”
He also said the process will be slow without more federal involvement.

As proven by losing a debate to a fly.
When Trump won the nomination, I warned people he reminded me of a BoD bigshot I knew that could’ve been Trump’s twin. Such a narcissist he could not hold a conversation unless it was redirected to be all about him. Huge personality. Pathological liar. Serial liar. Grabass, and lost an expensive lawsuit for assgrabbing, which he continued to lie about.
He also helped himself to the org’s money, feeling it was owed to him. He was voted off the board he served on, and contested the results.
He was so despised that when he died the location of the funeral wasn’t announced because people threatened to piss on his grave.
For anyone that believes in reincarnation, Trump is that guy reincarnated. The only way we’ll stop hearing about him is if he happens to die.
Oh, and I was right about Trump.

As Vice-President, he was the first VP to establish an office in the White House. He established the idea of an active VP. He travelled extensively around the country to tout Jimmy Carter’s foreign policy ideas.
During the Iran hostage crisis, he travelled to USS Midway (CV-41) to brief the crew on what was happening.
He is remembered as a political troubleshooter for the Carter Administration while VP.
He is currently the longest-lived former VP. Together with Jimmy Carter, they are the longest-lived team, breaking the record of the Adams-Jefferson Administration.

I really do think Trump is going to try and highjack the Constitution Party to run as an independent (he won’t do the hard work of qualifying as an independent in all jurisdictions, but he’ll absolutely highjack a third party that has ballot access).

If there’s anything that can be said to be “good” about the COVID plague, it’s that I now have an iron-clad guilt-free excuse to avoid all holiday-oriented family gatherings this year. I probably would have done so anyway, but at least now I don’t have to make up excuses. I’m not quite at the point where I can overtly specify that the reason I’m not showing up is because a good 50% of the attendees are RWNJs who won’t be able to resist spewing the latest Facebook bullshit, so I’m glad not to have to make up excuses.
A huge chunk of my family lost their minds after 9/11, and their low-level background radiation insanity was made much more prominent when The Bee-Ell-Ay-See-Kay Guy was elected (twice!). Then came Trump, and it was like the Yellowstone Caldera of stupid had exploded. My closest living relative “graduated” from Fox News to OANN, because Fox was “too liberal”.

My daughter has a deliberately misspelled middle name. We have her a Gaelic middle name, but spelled it phonetically because my wife wanted people to pronounce it correctly. I wanted it to be spelled the Gaelic way, because it resembles a mild English curse-word in the hopes that people would stumble or otherwise get embarrassed while trying to say it.
My wife won out, as she usually does.
Some years ago, after she had reached adulthood, I told my daughter about how she came by her name. The outraged “My middle name is an extended dad joke!” was priceless.

Some of them I think are inherently untrustworthy people. I don’t trust Rick Wilson and George Conway any farther than I could throw them while suffering a museum-quality hangover.
