Don’t forget that our CDC contacted their Chinese equivalent back on December 30th (?) and asked if they would let us go to Wuhan to coordinate with them. We were rebuffed. It would have been great to have gotten some virus samples to make tests way back then. You can’t make tests without samples of the virus. Edit: here is a NYT article on this from February 7: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/07/health/cdc-coronavirus-china.html FTA: For more than a month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been offering to send a team of experts to China to observe its coronavirus outbreak and help if it can. Normally, teams from the agency’s Epidemic Intelligence Servicecan be in the air within 24 hours. But no invitation has come — and no one can publicly explain why. The World Health Organization, which made a similar offer about two weeks ago, appears to be facing the same cold shoulder, though a spokeswoman said it is just “sorting out arrangements.” ... Also, C.D.C. officials have said that they hope to learn more about the new coronavirus from their Chinese counterparts to improve the American response if the virus starts to spread widely here.

Dont discount a person’s ability to communicate with the people they come in contact with regularly — as well as their healthcare provider. Your post reads like it is only government-appointed trackers who are involved in tracking. If I get symptoms, my family is going to know right away. I’m telling my coworkers, as well. That accounts for a lot, and it greatly reduces the “8 days late” aspect of what you’re saying. It it will be up to those people I inform to do the right thing and watch their symptoms and take better measures to limit contact with others. My doctor should put me in whatever database exists to see if a hotspot pattern is emerging. It will be up to me to isolate, etc. It seems that people (not you, but in a general sense) expect the government to be the only monitor of the public. They won’t be and they can’t be. Like usual, people help each other out and eventually, if necessary, they turn to public officials and programs to fill in the gaps. It shouldn’t be the other way around. We aren’t baby birds in a nest with our mouths open to the sky.

They’re a 7-9 or 8-8 or at best a 9-7 team with that offense. Their defense, alone, may have won them three or four games last year and they may be still really good. I’d love to see us beat them three times this season.

I forgot to attach the link. I edited my post. That’s the “for you” part. I do agree that there was a complete lapse of good sense with that performance in front of a bunch of kids. I’m trying to figure out if there was possibly any rational reason behind agreeing to that, but I’m coming up with nothing.

Here, Gal. This is for you. http://en.people.cn/n3/2017/0926/c90000-9273956.html I heard an interview with this guy awhile back. I was saying wtf through the whole thing. He wants pole dancing to be an olympic sport and he wants to be the champ.

The Iranians are looting what's left of Venezuela. And Venezuela seems to be helping them...expanding the role of a narco-terrorist to Oil Minister. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-venezuela-oil-minister/venezuela-appoints-alleged-drug-trafficker-el-aissami-as-oil-minister-idUSKCN2292TR

Again, no context to your statement. I'd prefer to wait for Judge Sullivan to make a ruling.

You’re mistaken again. You fill this thread with “he pled guilty”. He didn’t lie to the FBI. That’s what his case is about. One single charge. One of my points is that you saying “he pled guilty” without context is dishonest in light of the fact that he didn’t lie to investigators. And we know that from the actual investigators. My other point is the fact that there is a pending motion for the judge to accept the withdrawal of the guilty plea that you cling to. Until that motion has been decided, you might want to quit your refrain. And even if Sullivan denies the motion, it doesn’t change the fact that Flynn didn’t lie to investigators. There’s nothing stupid about my statement.

No to tartar. Malt vinegar, yes. For the tuna, I like to add black pepper, mayo, diced onion, a small amount of celery, and a hard boiled egg. Toasted wheat bread and a slice of American cheese and a thin slice of tomato. Or as a melt with cheddar and a couple slices of bacon. Have you ever tried mixing in apricot preserve in the wrap? It is really a nice touch!

He pled guilty to lying. The only lie he told was the actual guilty plea. There was no other lie. His case isn’t over — you might want to wait until it ends.

Oh, sorry, my punctuation was wrong. How's this: I didn't ask you, did I? As in, I asked an honest question in an honest way and didn't ask it to you.

I didn't ask you. Did I?

This is truly an honest question: why did you post this article? You posted the link and no context. I'm wondering why you posted this.

Thats for you to believe, but all that other funk on your mask is treatable, as far as I know — especially if it is bacteria from your own breath. I’m no expert to call this whole thing b.s.

Ya takes yer chances!

You can re use them. Just rotate two or three. The virus doesn’t live forever if it gets on your mask.

You know what’s interesting about that video is the fact that China basically admits that it didn’t inform anyone about the infectiousness of the disease until January. But any politician should have known in November and December. ? Edit: And the US and China signed their trade deal on January 15. Almost like China was waiting for that to be completed before letting anyone know about the severity of Covid. Where’s my tinfoil?

Educators should stick to educating.

I’d just like to point out that the topic of this thread is Covid-19. The past several pages of this thread have been off topic, and you appear to be the main driver of that diversion.

They can’t keep schools closed next school year. Maybe have kids switch off with in-school and at home learning, but kids need the socialization, and (just as important) a giant number of parents can’t work when their kids are at home. Also, I’m betting that there are a lot of kids out there who aren’t getting a sufficient education electronically. With schools out, there’s really no way to even partially open the economy, and it is highly likely that kids’ development will be stunted without physically attending school.

Do the ones who fear diversity have an invalid opinion? Isn’t diversity of opinion important, too — even if that opinion advocates less inclusion? **Before I get inaccurately labeled, pease note that I’m an advocate for diversity of culture and lifestyles, and I also accept people who don’t share my view. There are too many people who like to shame or diminish the opinion of the “more than a few” who may fear or repel diversity. To me, that’s wrongheaded.

Maybe Rosenstein, too. Can’t figure him out.

^^^^^McCarron Park in Brooklyn. That park gets packed when the weather is nice.

Okay, I’ll quit by bitchin. Mainly because you can speak for yourself about yourself ☹️. Keep posting more of these so you can give us your worldview.
