Iāll restate what I posted before.
I believe that Putin never released the Republican e-mails Russian hacked because he is using those e-mails to blackmail Republicans into destabilizing America.
He has some very compromising stuff on them which is why those Senators went to meet with him on July 4th. Thatās where he issued his orders to them.

Of course. I was referring to reported cases, not actual cases, which in most countries (including ours) are probably way the fuck higher than weāve been led to believe.
Trumpās āmore testing means more casesā is exactly backward from how screening tests work.
Since for the most part the only people who are being tested are those who seem to have symptoms or people who were exposed, the percentages of infections show as awfully high (as in the Panhandle, where the positivity rate is 58.9%).
Testing everyone would show a whole bunch more negatives, and also catch those who are asymptomatic before they can spread the disease further.
So neither one of us have regular sleep patterns. I do a 3 or 4 hour stint at night and maybe a 2 hour afternoon nap. Dude goes to sleep about 9 and wakes at 3.

So our state is joining Texasās fascist coup to deny the voters of other states their right to vote. Thank you Doug Peterson. Strange how they are only suing in states which went for Joe Biden, and not a single state which went for Donald Trump. Moreover, Texas is suing for the same thing its own governor Greg Abbot did.

This Tuesday, the Supreme Court rejected a request from Pennsylvania Republicans to overturn Joe Bidenās victory in the state, dealing a huge blow to Trumpland in their attempts to help President Trump retain the White House. There were no noted dissents in the Courtās ruling.
Incensed by the Courtās betrayal, figures inside the pro-Trump evangelical cult sent out a press release announcing the āJericho Marchā planned for December 12, where āJericho Marchers will simultaneously march around the U.S. Capitol, Supreme Court, and Department of Justice seven times praying for the walls of corruption and election fraud to fall down, just as Joshua and the Israelites walked around the walls of corrupt Jericho.ā
āFollowing the marches, patriots and people of faith will converge on the National Mall for the āLet the Church ROAR!āā the release states.

Overall, I donāt think he minds Californiaās current politics.
As to covid, I think heās done as well as could be expected given an entirely new disease and absolutely no federal help or guidance. The policies he put in place got us through the summer without overwhelming the medical infrastructure. (I would argue that allowing any kind of indoor dining was a mistake, and he should probably have emphasized that outdoor dining with people you donāt live with was also a bad idea.) But the surge in cases seems to be spreading from the red areas of the state ā the two hospitals neatest to mine have 2% and 5% covid patients.
Also, joining with the other western states will continue to be useful once we start distributing the vaccine.

All sorts of low-grade allergies or infections will do that. I had a reduced sense of smell for a couple of months about two years back (way before covid), cause never determined. And from what I hear about covid, your sense of smell disappears completely when you have it.
Congratulations on paying off your house.

In Democratic Republic of Alabama, curve is flattening you.
In a state where the Republican governor, Kristi L. Noem, has defied calls for a statewide mask mandate even as cases hit record levels, many in this rural community an hour west of Sioux Falls ignored the virus for months, not bothering with masks or social distancing. Restaurants were packed. Big weddings and funerals went on as planned.
Then people started dying.
The result of the deaths? A toothless mask mandate, fought tooth and nail by anti-maskers and mask-deniers.

re: #156 BigPapa
But isnāt that the Ghouliani Effect: farts spread COVID?
On a serious noteā¦we all know that South Korea has a very thorough and efficient contact tracing program. What they discovered is that a high school student spent 5 minutes 20 feet away from a woman with COVID-19 and the student got sick as well. Obviously, you can see the implications.
The South Korean study began with a mystery. When a high school senior in Jeonju tested positive for the virus on June 17, epidemiologists were stumped because the city hadnāt had a coronavirus case in two months. North Jeolla province, where Jeonju is located, hadnāt had one for a month. The girl hadnāt traveled out of the region in recent weeks and had largely gone from home to school and back.
Contact tracers turned to the countryās Epidemic Investigation Support System, a digital platform introduced in South Korea amid the pandemic that allows investigators to access cellphone location information and credit card data of infected individuals in as little as 10 minutes.
Cellphone GPS data revealed that the student had briefly overlapped with another known coronavirus patient from a different city and province altogether, a door-to-door saleswoman who had visited Jeonju. Their connection was a first-floor restaurant on the afternoon of June 12 ā for just five minutes.
Authorities in the city of Daejeon, where the door-to-door saleswoman was visiting from, said the woman did not tell contact tracers sheād visited Jeonju, about an hourās drive away, where her company held a meeting with 80 people on the sixth floor of the building with the restaurant.

Local place I use for framing sells artwork on the side and is in essence a small-scale art gallery. And they sub-contract out some of their framing work depending on what it is being framed; e.g. stuff like shadow boxes for displaying thicker items.

Less than a week with my newly adopted stray cat. I do love her. I walked out of the bedroom in the dark to put the chain on the door, and while I was doing that, I felt her whiskers going by roughly ankle high. Now sheās settling in to her little cat bed, under my bed, by giving it a good clawing. Itās just very comforting to have someone else in the apartment.
So sheās letting you stay?
Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area.
The 7 day rolling average of covid19 cases keeps climbing. We had over 3,000 deaths from covid19 yesterday. Itās likely to top that figure again. Weāll be above 300,000 deaths from covid19 tomorrow.
This was fucking preventable. Masking and social distancing can and do save lives, but Trumpists politicized both and made containment all but impossible.
Wearing a mask is cost effective and cheap. It can prevent not only spread of covid but other respiratory ailments (which is why flu remains low this year thus far). Had everyone worn a mask from March onwards, we could have not only contained the spread, but utilized the testing to contain and stamp out localized outbreaks. You canāt do contact tracing when community spread is out of control.
Lockdowns are a last gasp measure to protect health care delivery. If hospitals are overwhelmed and care collapses, deaths soar. Prevent that by masking and social distancing and enforcing that in retail/commercial spaces.
The thorny issue is how to deal with restaurants where you canāt mask while physically eating. That means itās a way for covid to spread, and thereās a study out of South Korea that showed that indoor distancing is variable and that there can be no safe distance if thereās significant air movement. One person got covid19 despite being more than 20 feet away and in the space for 5 minutes of overlap. The key was that the person was in direct path of air conditioning, so it funneled the aerosolized droplets from the infected person to the victim.
The study suggests that the best way to protect yourself is to bring an anemometer to check air movement. If thereās significant air movement, that increases the chances of spread despite all the other measures/precautions taken.
As people move indoors for the winter, this is a doomsday scenario because it suggests that exposure is highly dependent on air movement, not distance. If thereās a lot of air movement, your odds of contracting covid from an infectious person goes up considerably even if 6ā apart https://t.co/N8hZWRP37i

The submitted verbal and numerical phrasing for āquadrillion the the 4th powerā do not even match. Itās crystallized bullshit.
The numbers are ridiculous, but if each stateās results were 1 in a quadrillion, then the results for the 4 states would indeed be 1 in quadrillion to the 4th power. Of course, thatās not what they said.
In any case, as I asserted last evening, every AG who signed on to this should be disbarred ā and apparently you can be disbarred for engaging in lying regarding legal filings.

Herd Immunity was touted in early stages because it seemed to have the least (initial) economic impact.
This was a major matter for the UK, which was already facing a hit over a botched Brexit and the US, where a clueless President was more worried about his re-election being scuppered by a weak economy than he was about protecting the lives and health of American citizens.

āHerd immunityā meshed well with their propaganda BS that CV-19 was āno worse than the flu.ā The ālogicā was simple: Everybody gets sick for a few days, everybody recovers quickly, and the people at greatest risk will be safe by locking them in their homes for a few weeks.
I can remember in early March when it was nothing. Meanwhile the President elect was warning about Covid spreading in January and had written an op-ed about being unprepared for a pandemic in October of last year. Biden doesnāt do the I told you so game but Iām fine with doing it on his behalf because he was fucking paying attention to what was going on while too many damn people online were convincing themselves that the man has dementia because heās not a shouter like the Orange Shithead.

Exactly, the unspoken reality of āherd immunityā is that in absence of vaccine, the only way to achieve it is for the outbreak to burn itself out. And the only way that happens is if people are so far apart that transmission becomes impossible or the number of people vulnerable to the virus is reduced to the point that the outbreak can no longer sustain itself.
tl;dr: A whole lotta people either gotta die or be so scared of dying that they lock themselves off.

Sasse has either been slotted into (or taken over on his own) the role of Designated Republican āMaverickā: he seems to have taken over Jeff Flakeās old job of being the one Capitol Hill GOPer who regularly pops up to call bullshit on the most egregious nonsense the Party might defecate out: but who can be relied on to be a loyal vote in the Senate each and every time.

Wow, Sasse goes there on the pardon-bait.
Why not? Every news story Iāve seen about this goes there because itās so obvious. Sasse is just jumping on the bandwagon.

I talked to my sister in the suburbs yesterday about how she and everyone around her is doing. Sounds like everyone is doing OK, but then she said that one of her grade-school aged grandkids had just gotten back from a trip to Florida. That set off all of my triggers. I said OMG but didnāt go on about it; I donāt need to tell my sister the dangers. She said that her son had to spend a lot of time helping the grandkid get caught up on his homework. Iām now scared for the family. I hope theyāll be OK.

I saw that Rep Johnson, the Louisiana Rep who is gathering support in the House for the Texas nonsense is also a former talk radio host. As is Pence too. Their party has been taken over by the Limbaughs of the country. These arenāt deep thinkers. They just hate liberals.
Giving Trump POTY - for any reason - will validate at the hate and all the bullshit. I get they like the Hitler types, but not just NO NOPE FUCK NO but, well yeah, NO NOPE FUCK NO.
āEvery crematory in Texas is overwhelmed:ā Third mobile morgue arrives in Amarillo
Last month, the city announced the arrival of two mobile morgues in Amarillo but as space continues to be a problem a third unit was requested.
The request was made by Shafer Mortuary Services through Texas emergency management officials.
The temporary units on site can hold 50 bodies each and are currently full.
āWe have probably 150 deceased people and we had to call in for the morgue trailers,ā said Candice Shafer, owner of Shafer Mortuary Services. āWe have those two full and theyāre sending us a third one.ā
The mortuary provides assistance to not only local funeral homes, but also the rest of the counties in the Texas Panhandle.
Over the last month they have done over triple the number of cremations they would normally do.

Or have figured out how to make the loudmouth conservative grift more profitable and a route to greater power than a talking head on AM morning radio.
like you all i am trying to keep moving forward and not dwell too much
itās not easy when everything is so āin your faceā because of every move you make, or dont make, or cant make, or have to make. Itās all so Chidi Anagonye.

i want to redouble our efforts to protect ourselves while still not knowing how much is enough, or too much.
can it never be just enough?

elite athletes in way better condition than me, a mere duffer, have succumbed.
so i keep on keeping on. run every morning. arrange meals. do my job from home, food shop once a week. keep up a routine.
pretend iām in control and theresā some kind of normalcy, when iām not and there isnāt.
but for the sake of the others anyway, do it.
i know how lucky we are. sometimes it helps. other times not so much.
and i weep for this country; what it has become.
instead of standing up and leading, it fell flat on its puss.
all because of whoās in charge and the horde of automatons who blindly follow along with every assholic thing he thinks and every moronic move he makes.
