  1. That's what the trillion and billions of dollars of handouts are for: to ameliorate.
  2. Miley does this classic quite well for this Floyd fan.
  3. Ultimately, when challenged, it is whatever has a legal precedent and specifically prescribed/defined in law. If it is not apparent then it is either interpreted by a high court or created by lawmakers.
  4. Yes.Your rights stop when your activities become an existential threat to others.
  5. He may well be burying bad news but he's still going to have to answer for them eventually. "You can fool some people...". I reckon in the end he'll likely run out of escape options.
  6. Expect to see a spike in melanomas in 10 years and blindness after a rash of naive Trumpites take to sunbeds and homemade whole-body uv sterilisers.
  7. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/new-york/articles/2020-04-22/editorial-roundup-new-york
  8. I read the other day from the one of the uk medical advisors that we may need 5 or 6 waves of infection to get to 60%. Add to that the uncertainty of long term immunity.
  9. Can you give me some sources for the first two? Are you a Trump fanboy?
  10. Yeah, all countries outside the far east pussy-footed until it was on top of them. The US administration is currently, and earnestly, attempting to shift the blame for its inaction elsewhere.... typical Trump stuff.
  11. From what I've just read about him on an organic chemist's blog, he would appear be what Trump would be like if he was a microbiologist i.e no different.
  12. What is it about a young person's physiology that makes them less susceptible?
  13. Isn't hindsight so clear and obvious?
  14. I wonder how Bolsonaro is going to live down "...just a little flu".
  15. Trump's not doing a bad job (of corrupting the system). Where are the people policing the system?
  16. They need a new constitution because this administration is showing just how fragile and full of holes it is that they can exploit. It seems to me that a dedicated autocrat could corrupt this system. Trump's not doing a bad job.
  17. I read some lung specialists are diverging from intubation, wondering if it's causing more harm than good, and trying to establish what's actually happening in the alveoli. They are trying clot busters and blood thinners to try and keep their patients alive. It looks like research is happening in the field in the raw. It must be very taxing for them.
  18. Just read Japan is offering Favipiravir to countries for testing.
  19. I think the main problem is the Supreme Court, as a part of checks and balances, has a partisan foundation. It needs to be, in principle, apolitical in its composition and, therefore, judgements.
  20. I don't think it's an inherent problem with the CDC, it's been ok until now, it's a problem of White House administration overreach. It's just one more symptom of this administration's apparent desire to to corrupt the machinery of governance and oversight to their own ends.
  21. The visualization problem is the same as infinitely big. At the end of the day, it's a problem with the model in question.
  22. Picture yourself travelling between two intersecting lines and yourself getting smaller in proportion as the lines get closer. When will you reach the end?
