She’s running for office in Michigan, proving again conservatives only fail up.

That ship’s sailed. Conservatives always seem to think they can harness the lightning, then are surprised the lightning turns on them.

He will now be ignored, just like he trained others to do when they give truthful information.

I truly believe we are going to see a great conservative dying over the next few months, especially if a new more deadly variant comes along.

The ones who figure out they’ve been lied to aren’t going to come after us; we didn’t lie to them.

Admiral Rickover designed a Thorium breeder reactor at Shippingport PA back in the 70s and I know that because Dad was involved in constructing and maintaining it. After 3 years it produced more fuel than it consumed so quite naturally that sure didn’t please the powers that be and with Carter out of office Reagan gave Rickover the boot and shut the reactor down.

Also, you can’t use thorium reactors to build nuclear weapons. A lot of folks surrounding nuclear weapons were opposed to thorium reactors for that reason.

Admiral Rickover made that the selling point. Thorium is incapable of being used in conventional nuclear weapons. Critics claimed that it could still be used as a “dirty” bomb and that was one of the shivs used to screw Admiral Rickover and the project.

How ‘Coward and Phony’ Tim Pool Became One of the Biggest Political YouTubers on the Planet | The Daily Beast

He’s a fascist. A deeply stupid incurious narcissistic useful idiot for white supremacists. And he’s making a lot of money.

As a member of YouTube’s partner program, Pool was handsomely rewarded. In August 2020 alone, Pool raked in $600,000, as he boasted during the recorded September conversation. By Pool’s calculations, YouTube accounted for 90 percent. (In his email to The Daily Beast, Pool claimed the income total was “wildly incorrect and easily disproved” but declined to provide the correct figure. “Perhaps the audio has been edited,” he said without evidence.)

Two industry experts told The Daily Beast that Pool may be exaggerating somewhat—SocialBlade’s public estimates of his potential earnings are lower, too—but banking about $540,000 is within the realm of possibility, they said, if, as Pool claims, 90% of his videos are monetized.

His associations with the worst right wing dirtbags imaginable is documented in this exhaustive article. I hate to use the phrase but Tim Pool is one of the most effective “red pillers” out there. His words have lead to real world right wing violence. And YouTube gladly pays him handsomely.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is now going after Twitter directly for enabling fascists and Nazis.

‘We Make Mistakes’: Twitter’s Embrace of the Extreme Far Right

Twitter gave far-right extremists the platform they needed to plan an attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, and the website, if it maintains its current approach, will likely enable politically motivated violence again in the future.

The following analysis lays out an introduction to observations the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has made about Twitter’s longstanding relationship with the far right. The analysis features samples of SPLC’s correspondence with Twitter about extreme far-right figures, as well as an insider’s revelations about the company’s struggles with moderation, and critical assessments of researchers from outside our organization. Tim Pool, a pro-Trump social media personality who has claimed to correspond with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey in private, also told us when we reached out to him about the billionaire social media executive that he “seems very adamant that far-right figures be given unrestrained platforms.”

Yikes.

Nigerian student shocked to see friend’s body in anatomy class (BBC)

Medical student Enya Egbe fled his anatomy class crying after being disturbed by the corpse he was asked to work on.

This was not the squeamish response of a naïve young man.

The 26-year-old still vividly recalls that Thursday afternoon seven years ago at Nigeria’s University of Calabar, converging with fellow students around three tables with a cadaver laid out on each.

Minutes later, he screamed and ran.

The body his group had been about to dissect was that of Divine, his friend of more than seven years.

It has not happened much to me, but when folks start talking about the “End of Days” and “The Rapture” to me; I have an urge to go “Oh My gosh! You don’t know?” followed by “I’m so sorry!”

By the way, the United States has had quite a relationship with the concept of the “End of Times”.

For example, William Miller announced that Christ’s return would occur October 22, 1844. When it didn’t, it became “The Great Disappointment”.

There were groups who claimed a misinterpretation of the date with forecasts for 1874, 1914, and 1925, among other dates. From Miller’s disappointed followers originated a group called “Zion’s Watch Tower Tract Society”. It is known today as “The Jehovah’s Witnesses”.

Another bit of Americana “When the Saints Go Marching In” is an African-American rendition of the Apocalypse.

My grandfather, a Missouri farmer used to talk about “The old ‘Mossback Farmers’ waiting for the ‘End of Times’ on their front porch next to their caskets”.

And, of course, the lyrics of the Hallelujah Chorus in Handel’s Messiah come from Revelations 11 and 19.

It’s been a while since I have looked at Thorium reactors, but wasn’t one of the big drawbacks that the molten salts necessary were so corrosive that maintenance of the equipment was cost prohibitive. Materials science has come a long way, I am sure that issue has been mitigated.

I always want to ask them if their deceased parents or grandparents believed, like themselves, that Jesus woudn’t leave THEM waiting for the rapture.

Why the GOP Wants to Kill Its Voters (Dan Pfeiffer at Substack)

Progressives were mystified about the Republican embrace of the anti-vax movement. Reactions ranged from outrage to condescension. Maybe the Republicans are too dense or demented to know what’s in their best interest. Perhaps, they are so committed to “owning the libs” that they are willing to kill their own voters. But the reason is neither idiocy nor performative assholery.

While the modern Republican Party is nihilistic, immoral, corrupt, and racist, it is not stupid. There is an underlying — albeit twisted — political logic behind the decision of so many Republican politicians to push anti-vax conspiracy theories. Killing their own voters is disgusting but not as self-defeating as it seems. It’s not a good or moral strategy, but it is a strategy. And defeating that strategy requires understanding why Republicans think killing their voters is good politics.

Florida is now setting emergency Covid-19 treatment tents.

Florida sets new COVID hospitalization record as cases spike (Axios)

Florida reported Sunday that 10,207 COVID-19 patients were hospitalized — the most in the state since the pandemic began, per AP.

Why it matters: The report comes a day after the CDC released data showing Florida confirmed a state record 21,683 new coronavirus cases in one day.

The big picture: Florida is now the U.S. coronavirus epicenter, with the Delta variant driving a surge, Axios Tampa Bay’s Ben Montgomery notes.

Hospitalizations and deaths from the virus among the unvaccinated are increasing.

Meanwhile, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has taken a stand against local authority restrictions, announcing in May that he would pardon “any Floridian” who faces “outstanding infractions” for violating COVID-19 guidance like mask mandates and social distancing.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A federal grand jury subpoena was served on Albuquerque Public Schools District this week seeking records of state House Majority Floor Leader Sheryl Williams Stapleton, D-Albuquerque, in what apparently is a parallel investigation to the racketeering, fraud and kickback investigation by the state Attorney General’s Office.

The subpoena asks APS for many of the same records the state Attorney General’s Office seized in search warrants in their investigation involving Stapleton and Robotics Management Learning Systems LLC.

According the state search warrants, businesses and charities owned by or connected to Stapleton received more than $950,000 in payments from Robotics.

Craig Revel Horwood and Bruno Tonioli gained quite a bit of fame being judges on Strictly Come Dancing, and so other shows exploit them for attention. While SCD is a BBC show, ITV has used the duo for a mini-series which is about touring the UK. Basically the show is a bit of geography, a bit of history, and some camp (plus Tonioli being a diva.)

Anyway, the show opens with this shot, and we are led to believe this is where Horwood lives in the UK:

Maybe Horwood does live there, but I doubt it.

Anyway, though it is an ITV and not a BBC production the show is well produced with some gorgeous shots of the UK landscape.

Which leads me again to lament the poor state of American television, especially what is passed off as “documentaries”.

The Native Omaha Days Parade was yesterday. The parade was through North Omaha, taking 2.5 hours, with tens of thousands of viewers over a mile-long route.

For many, the festivities provided a release after a year spent largely in isolation because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although organizers readily acknowledged that the pandemic is not over, the widespread availability of highly effective vaccines made it possible to host the weeklong reunion and community celebration.

“I believe there was an anticipated buildup for the parade,” said local NAACP President Vickie Young, who organized the parade. “We were kept away from each other. We couldn’t necessarily fellowship like we had been doing in the past. This allowed family, friends and community partners to come together to celebrate our culture and our heritage.”

As of today, 53% of Douglas County (seat Omaha) have received full vaccination, and 70% have received one dose. 737 people have died in Douglas County since the start of the pandemic. The positivity rate for tests is 23.8%.

I’m not an epidemiologist but it seems to me it’s not time to be throwing large parades yet. It seems like the Liberty Loan Parade in Philadelphia in 1918.

Our regional newspaper, the Scottsbluff, Nebr. Star-Herald announced they have added a slew of new journalistic positions expanding the paper’s ability to report.

In an era of dying local papers, they continue to expand.

They’ve added a reporter to report on news of the Western Slope in Colorado, a dedicated political reporter for regional politics in the tri-state area, they poached a sports reporter from California, and an agriculture reporter from the Ozarks.

They also poached a digital manager from California to improve access through their Website. A new editor has been added for the Gering Courier, and another for the Star-Herald, bringing the editorial board of the newspaper up to full strength.

My congressvarmint Rep. Adrian Smith (R-NE3) was here and sat down for an interview with the Alliance, Nebr. Times-Herald. He pedaled the same lies about the Green New Deal and the 30x30 conservation plan which Gov. Ricketts did a few weeks ago.

Congressman Adrian Smith recently visited the Alliance Times-Herald to provide an update about Congress and what he intends to focus on in the session ahead.

Smith explained that he has heard a lot of concern from his constituents regarding President Joe Biden’s 30X30 plan to protect 30 percent of the United States’ land and water by 2030.

“The 30X30 situation, especially when you have concerns about the tax policy, and family agriculture operations not being able to foot the tax bill, then the federal government having this priority of controlling 30 percent of the nation’s land and 30 percent of the nation’s water, I find that very problematic. I think there have been extreme abuses of government power over the land that they might own, or strings attached, so that there would be leverage in the name of conservation that the federal government would have over someone who signed up for something.

“When you look at the Green New Deal, for example, the goals of the Green New Deal, many of which are included in the infrastructure plan that the President is pushing and has already passed the House, not friendly to agriculture. Certainly not friendly to livestock agriculture. I find it to be rather arbitrary. The administration is trying to say what 30X30 is not, but they never really told us what it was, other than this arbitrary number of 30 and 30. The absence of details is very concerning to a lot of us.”

(more)

He then went on to fearmonger about tax proposals destroying local families, and blaming shortages in supply chains on President Biden and not the pandemic.

“As usual, I spend most of my time fighting the bad stuff, which is part of the process,” Smith said. “I do want to continue to advocate on telehealth measures and rural development as a whole.

An inconvenient truth for the so-called Judeo-Christian conservatives who claim that’s how the nation was founded.

In 1787, it’s estimated there were about 2,500 Jews in the whole country. Their power to frame anything was bupkis.

At the same time, it’s estimated about 15% of all African slaves held by the South came here as Muslims, though most were forced by slavemasters and evangelists to convert to Christianity, ofttimes on pain of punishment or death.

The nation should be more properly called Islamic-Christian.

The word Judeo-Christian itself only appeared in usage in the XIX Century to refer to Jewish converts to Christianity. It only appeared in its modern usage during the Cold War, promoted by conservatives over the godless commies of the Soviet Union.

The political idea of a Judeo-Christian nation is not as old as I am.

Protestants are pretty good at it as well.

This douchecanoe resigned from his church in Yakima after saying he had fallen astray due to “an affair” (Protestant-speak for rape).

“Affair” was again used by the staff of the Birmingham church to describe the resurfaced allegations.

I’ve always considered anytime I hear something about a Protestant pastor stepping back or resigning over an affair, my assumption is rape unless there is other evidence.

Lots of conservatives have a problem discerning “consent” (that would be an affair) from “rape.” Since religions by their nature are conservative (they can only change the window-dressing of how they present themselves, not the core beliefs), “affair” seems to get ported into just about every Christian denomination to explain raping someone.

I find the whole concept sickening. Presumably a contrite rapist who sincerely repents can be admitted to Heaven. Assuming the victim is as well, the victim gets to spend eternity with her rapist.

According to the New Testament, the only unforgivable sin is being someone like me. Repentant murders, thieves, rapists, child abusers, &c are all rewarded along with their victims (if the victim is a sincere Christian).

The difference between me and his God is if I was in a position to stop a rape, I would. God just closes the door and says “go ahead, I’ll get you later if you don’t repent.”

That’s the reason so many congregations of all denominations keep accepting such people back into the pulpit. If God forgave them, who are they to judge?

I find the whole idea repugnant. That is not justice, nor is it mercy.

No mercy was shown by the real people in this to the actual victim in this case. The mercy was shown to the rapist.

Tennessee governor’s religious views became ‘barrier’ in J&J vaccine rollout, former insider claims (WTVF-TV, Nashville)

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee’s personal religious views became an obstacle in Tennessee’s rollout of one of the COVID-19 vaccines, a former state health department insider claims.

The governor’s office denies there was any delay in the distribution of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, but Fiscus and other insiders tell a different story. They say Lee was motivated by the misconception that the J&J vaccine contained fetal tissue.

“It was a barrier to getting people vaccinated,” Dr. Michelle Fiscus told NewsChannel 5 Investigates.

The approval of the Johnson & Johnson, one-shot vaccine was great news for the doctor who once headed Tennessee’s vaccination program.

“It was an important tool in the arsenal, and we couldn’t wait to get it,” she said.

Dr. Fiscus said the J&J vaccine not only had the advantage that it didn’t require people to return for a second dose, but “it was easier.”

re: #76 Anymouse 🌹🏡😷

Gov. Lee claims his concern is about the effectiveness of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, not his religion.

As a person who’s field before entering politics was (checks notes) working in the family business of construction, he is eminently qualified to weigh in on the effectiveness of vaccines. Surely he wouldn’t be lying for Jesus.

We checked the state’s own data and it shows that, while Moderna represented more than 700,000 doses administered through state-run health departments through May 13 and Pfizer made up 561,000, J&J was less than 4,000.

Even now, the website vaccinefinder.org shows J&J is “out of stock” in 35 state-run health departments.

When NewsChannel 5 Investigates spot-checked with one county where the vaccine was listed as being “out of stock,” we were told the one-shot vaccine was not an option through the state.

The television station has filed a public records request to get to the bottom of public health directors across Tennessee saying Gov. Lee’s religion is interfering with vaccine distribution, but after several weeks the government has not responded.

re: #18 Dread Pirate Ron

I suspect this report of a new prototype molten-salt thorium-fuelled nuclear reactor is a case of “Chinese whispers” and not actually anything that exists in the real world.

The abstract in Nuclear Techniques refers to mathematical modelling and simulations of fuel performance, basically Ph. D. student-level work that’s quite common in the Powerpoint and TED Talks world of thorium reactors. I think it got picked up, the simulation of a 2MW molten-salt reactor was translated into real working hardware and this escaped into the world, mutating as it went. The South China Morning Post was, I think, the first journalistic sighting of this story before the tech blogs picked it up as a real thing that’s happening right now!

I follow nuclear stuff around the world with some interest (and a forty-year-old Physics degree) and AFAIK there is not any kind of a thorium-fuelled molten-salt reactor under construction anywhere in the world. China is already operating several research reactors using exotic fuel systems, like a helium-cooled pebble-bed reactor which can use some thorium in the fuel mix (TRISO) and they are trying to commercialise that particular “move the fuel around at very high temperatures and hope nothing breaks” reactor design. It’s a slow process and the news about it is very intermittent (supposedly the operators started fuelling their first 105MWe commercial-proof-of-concept pebble-bed reactor in 2018 with a second reactor nearing completion, nothing more since then).

Admiral Rickover designed a Thorium breeder reactor at Shippingport PA back in the 70s and I know that because Dad was involved in constructing and maintaining it. After 3 years it produced more fuel than it consumed so quite naturally that sure didn’t please the powers that be and with Carter out of office Reagan gave Rickover the boot and shut the reactor down.

Not a molten-salt reactor, also some hyperbole in the book’s title. Sodium-cooled reactors have been built and operated quite a few times around the world, mostly without success and sometimes with spectacular accidents. The French Phoenix and Super-Phoenix sodium-cooled breeders didn’t catch fire but they were shut down for economics reasons. The Japanese breeder at Monju had a fire, a sodium leak and then the engineers dropped a refuelling crane into the core when it was shut down for some work. The Soviet BN-series sodium-cooled reactors, well, it was rumoured that the BN-600 had two turbine halls so that when the first one caught fire the second one could be used until the burnt-out one was rebuilt. The new(ish) Russian BN-800 is campaigning experimental fuel structures at the moment with plans to burn Pu-239 in metallic fuel elements using surplus nuclear weapons material in the future.

Sodium-cooled fast spectrum reactors are being built today — the Chinese have recently completed a 600MW reactor (the CFR-600) based on Russian tech and are building a second one. They already have a small sodium-cooled reactor in operation for some time (the CEFR) producing about 20MW of electricity but scaling up nuclear tech is tricky. The Russians have just poured concrete on a lead-cooled reactor (BREST) which should produce about 300MW of electricity when it’s operational.

In 1954, the Boston lawyer Joseph Welch famously asked Wisconsin Republican Sen. Joseph McCarthy, “At long last, sir, have you left no sense of decency?” It was a question that marked the beginning of the end for McCarthy’s madness, and the senator died a disgraced and despised opportunist.

We now ask our brother, Rep. Paul Gosar, that same question. Although his colleagues in Congress and others in the media seem to only recently be paying attention, we have been aware of his unhinged behavior for years.

The United States alleged that, from April 2010 until the end of 2016, Arriva, with Alere’s approval, paid kickbacks to Medicare beneficiaries by providing them “free” or “no cost” glucometers and by routinely waiving, or not collecting, their copayments for meters and diabetic testing supplies. Specifically, the United States alleged that Arriva advertised that glucometers would be “free,” and then during intake calls offered Medicare beneficiaries a “no cost guarantee,” under which Arriva would provide the meters at “no cost” if Medicare denied payment, which typically happened because the beneficiaries were not yet entitled to a new glucometer paid for by Medicare. Arriva also allegedly offered and provided existing customers “free” additional meters to induce them to reorder testing supplies from Arriva.

Arriva also allegedly routinely waived, and failed to make reasonable efforts to collect, Medicare copayments. It allegedly failed to send invoices to beneficiaries, and failed to take other basic steps, like sending collection letters or making phone calls, to collect copayments. Specifically, Arriva allegedly systematically waived “small” dollar copayments without informing beneficiaries of their copayment obligations by sending them an invoice, and allegedly automatically waived other unpaid copayments after sending no more than three invoices seeking payment and making no other collection efforts. Arriva also allegedly waived copayments when customers complained that Arriva had advertised and otherwise indicated that their supplies would be free or at no cost.

Not a Protestant. The mega churches were not part of the reformation. Think of it this way: Methodists, baptists, Episcopalians are all fine giving each other communion. I doubt mega church congregations even practice communion.

They do. The Foursquare church my insane Aunt forced me to go to did communion and when my Mother came to the Christmas service she was barred from Communion because she was Presbyterian.

In a rare application of a law in place in Wisconsin and six other states, a judge overruled a prosecutorial decision on Wednesday not to charge a police officer who shot and killed Jay Anderson Jr., a Black man who, moments before his death, was sleeping in a parked car in 2016. Milwaukee County Judge Glenn Yamahiro will appoint a special prosecutor after finding probable cause to formally charge Joseph Mensah with homicide by negligent use of a weapon, NBC News reported. The judge’s order directs the prosecutor to charge Mensah, also a Black man, within 60 days.

Mensah found Anderson at a park asleep in his car at about 3 AM in the Milwaukee suburb of Wauwatosa, NBC News reported. The officer accused Anderson, 25, of reaching for a gun before Mensah shot him, but both Anderson’s family and Yamahiro said the evidence didn’t support that story. Anderson’s family asked Yamahiro to review the case in what’s known as a John Doe proceeding. The statute maintains: “If a person who is not a district attorney complains to a judge that he or she has reason to believe that a crime has been committed within the judge’s jurisdiction, the judge shall refer the complaint to the district attorney or, if the complaint may relate to the conduct of the district attorney, to another prosecutor …”

Mandates will backfire. Oh really?

Know what’s backfiring? Letting GOPers get away with zero responsibility for their destructive role in aiding and abetting a pandemic by doing worse than nothing. They’ve been enabling the spread of a deadly disease by ignoring experts, spewing conspiracy theories, and lying about the motivations of vaccinations and masking mandates as some sweeping detriment to a person’s rights or freedoms.

The reality is that the GOP has caused tremendous harms to the nation - wrecked the economy and killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. A timid response by democrats to threats about mandates should not keep mandates from being implemented.

It is the right thing to do. It is the medically necessary thing to do for protecting the nation during a pandemic. That’s how you stop the pandemic - not spewing half-assed conspiracy crap about vaccines, or that you’re one step away from Auschwitz because we want to make sure people are vaccinated before going out in public without masks to keep everyone (including these know nothing fucknuts) safe.

What’s becoming pretty clear by this point is the GQP totally underestimated COVID’s ability to turn their cunning plan into a massive liability. It’s proving hard as fuck to sell “THE CDC LIED TO US!!!” to the growing majority of vaccinated Americans who are now being told they should consider wearing masks again not because the new virus is deadlier, but because the legions of fuckwits who refuse to get vaccinated and the political party that is feeding that garbage into their heads has set fire to all the progress of the past 18 months.

Say it again, I am really FRUSTRATED that we had a jump-start on nearly every major nation except the UK on vaccinations and had a window of opportunity to really put a lid on this pandemic.

But between the Open At All Cost policies of our (mostly GOP) politicians and all the (mostly GOP) anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers, we left a back door open for a new and more virulent variant to creep in. Now we will be playing whack-a-mole with this one until everyone is either dead, infected, recovered or vaccinated.

Sadly, no. It’s a virulent disease, easily spread due to various factors. It was going to infect people and spread through any population everywhere. New Zealand was the shining example of isolation and quarantine and zero cases and then suddenly it wasn’t. Vietnam too, Australia, a whole host of other nations that were succeeding in the Red Queen’s Race until one isolated case became five became twenty and… Even China which has imposed brutal and unforgiving policies in regards to isolation and quarantine any time a handful of cases were detected is now scrambling to prevent breakouts and mass illness and it may not succeed.

Vaccines reduce the chance of catching COVID-19, reduce the chance of becoming noticeably sick or very sick or dying, reduce the chance of spreading the disease but they don’t eliminate the disease the way, say, smallpox was eliminated for various biological reasons. People are going to get sick and some will die and assuming something like masks or vitamin D supplements or Himalayan Salt will save us all is just wishful thinking. Vaccines will save most of us though.

Epidemics are statistics. Individuals do not count, what individuals do makes some difference but usually not enough, other than getting vaccinated.

Smallpox is a lot easier to find; people who’ve got it are obvious, and they’re only contagious when they’re visibly symptomatic.

Smallpox is a human-only disease, it has no animal hosts or sporulated forms that allows it to survive outside human bodies in nature. Once there were no new cases of smallpox in humans due to near-universal vaccination, it was functionally extinct and no longer a threat. In contrast coronaviruses are found in a lot of different animals. SARS-CoV-2 was almost certainly a case of animal-to-human transmission but it also goes the other way so there will likely always be animal reservoirs of the virus. This means elimination of COVID-19 from the world is practically impossible. All we can do is beat the numbers down hard with vaccination and booster shots (if they are proven useful). Development of better vaccines is in train for the future.

The way MAGAts talk about yellow stars and persecution, you’d think that the two were synonymous and came about at the same time in Nazi Germany.

When did the stars actually become a thing? 1942. Now it’s true that some areas had them earlier and Polish Jews were ordered to start sporting armbands as early as 1939. But the yellow stars we associate with the Holocaust? They did not become a thing across the whole of the “Greater German Reich” until ordered by decree in 1942. And they actually had the opposite effect initially, invoking sympathy and outrage among the non-Jewish population in many areas. Goebbels was forced to have pamphlets drawn up and distributed telling people the “proper” response to seeing the stars. And even then, there were areas like Occupied France where the authorities refused to impose stars on their Jewish populations even after the Vichy gov’t fell.

That’s what he was presented as to me, but I have not verified this.

Your body is a temple… but holy desecration batman….

Elite athletes: we wont vaccinate because we don’t know how this might affect my performance down the line (or wont mask either - like the swimmer Michael Andrew).
Same elite athletes had no problem taking all kinds of anabolic steroids and other performance enhancing drugs with dubious and notable side effects to goose their stats, while this vaccine is highly effective at preventing death and serious illness for a highly communicable disease.

I wonder how permanent lung damage from covid will affect their performance.
