Re: Biden Takes Georgia; Violence on Horizon

It’s interesting to watch the folks that spent the last four years chanting, “[vulgarity] your Feelings” to everyone else are now acting so fragile as to suggest that they’re the ones with the blackened eye. Abusers are nothing if not consistent. Trump talks about having all the tough people. LOL T...

Re: Vaccines and therapeutics

It looks like a person can get Covid more than once. So far, recurrence is pretty rare. We don't know how common reinfection will be, especially after vaccination. It's a novel coronavirus. Will we need to be vaccinated every year like a flu shot? Maybe. it's a novel coronavirus Are we going to loc...

Re: High Court Seems Likely to Leave Health Care Law in Place

My mind still boggles at the absurdity of the current case against ACA. They originally argued that the mandate made it unconstitutional. The court ruled against that argument and upheld the law. That should have ended the issue right there. But then the mandate was dropped, in effect, by reducing ...

Re: An Electoral College Proposal

I don't favor changing the electoral college beyond getting rid of the electors. The framers set up a system intended to balance the deeply conflicting feelings we have about democracy. The divergence between the popular vote and electoral college are due to some long-term demographic trends that i...

Re: Biden Takes Georgia; Violence on Horizon

Democrats didn't get "what they wanted." They didn't get the Senate (not counting on winning two races in Georgia) and lost ground in the House. Divided government is the perfect time for both sides to get together and figure out what to do about some pressing problems. But, no, Sub would rather bur...

Re: Vaccines and therapeutics

The fact that the new Pfizer vaccines needs to be stored at a temperature of -103° Fahrenheit gives me a bit of a pause. This is bound to make it both expensive to use and administer and hard to keep in storage. I hope that other vaccines that are both reliable and less easily perishable soon becom...

Re: Vaccines and therapeutics

One thing I want to add: don't just hold on. Redouble your efforts to stay health and keep those with whom you come in contact healthy. I'll do a state of the COVID post tonight. But the TL/DR is that we are right now in worse shape than at any time during the pandemic. When the cases were concentra...

Re: And the Impotence Came Crashing In

Dr. Exiled, the basis of yesterday's lawsuit was that mail-in voting is inherently fraudulent and all mail-in ballots should be disregarded. They have neither provided nor even alleged evidence of actual fraud. They have not even provided evidence that mistakes were made that would change the result...

Re: And the Impotence Came Crashing In

Demand that they produce evidence, but let the process play out. If Biden truly wants to be president of all the United States, he should allow Trump the chance to prove his claims. The overzealous Trumpista will have conspiracy fuel if the process is cut short. Itll be over by mid December and the...

Re: Vaccines and therapeutics

I heard Phizer called Biden with the news, not Trump. That warms my heart almost as much as the vaccine news itself. I read something about Pence making a weak attempt to take some credit, prompting Pfizer to remind him that the vaccine is not part of the US's Operation Warp Speed. No US tax dollar...
