Re: Coronavirus

Like 99% of people wear masks here, but not much has changed. A few early closures thus winter for restaurants. But I still see people out partying at night. The subway on my way home is always crammed and packed. It's odd. And yeah, I guess it's the general health of the average population. Not as...

George Floyd trial verdict - Poll: Will Chauvin be found guilty?

So looks like trial wraps up on Monday, and then jury will deliberate. It will be curious how long they deliberate. The media/social media has covered this, like they do all trials and anything potentially sensational, in a way that I think guarantees riots and violence if the maximum conviction and...

Re: Coronavirus

Japan has about 10,000 deaths USA has about 566,000 deaths. We are only 3 times the population of Japan. Maybe that's why they are not concerned. Asia and much of the developing world is pequiliar, hardly effected by COVID. I think there is way more to comorbidity/general health and BMI than people ...

Re: Coronavirus

One of the things the nurse said while jabbing me was that they are experiencing up to 25% no-shows on appts which is why they are quickly loosening up restrictions just to get shots in arms to utilize what's at hand. Yup. This is why you just need to get it, if you have the chance. When you wait, ...
