Right now, our hospitals are at over-capacity. The idea in flattening the curve is to slow down the rate of infections so that the health care system is not over-whelmed. I think it is reasonable for the medicos to ask (demand?) that we be be very cautious, and try to postpone getting it as long as possible. Lots of hospitals are short-staffed because their own workers are infected. Lots of strain on them. Sailing was pretty darn good this year - single handing as I like to do is a great way to have fun while social distancing. Our Club managed to put together a truncated race program, as well as learn to sail - but they had to be very creative in order to get it done. What we seem to have learned so far - you don't get it from surfaces, disinfecting everything may not make much difference, most people get it not from work but from family and friends, restaurants are risky. I was only kidding before when I asked you to sneak me into Aotearoa, but now I'm serious. Here is some very good info . . https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/covid-19-daily-video Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 288 Posted Sunday at 07:18 PM Author Report Share Posted Sunday at 07:18 PM getting real looney tunes in trump's alternate universe Did the US Army raid Scytl's headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany, to seize its computer servers? Is Dominion a software company founded by dead militant communist Hugo Chavez? Qanon is convinced it happened. But, despite the suspect computer servers apparently being in a busy commercial precinct of Frankfurt, Germany, there's not even a hint it did. No photos. No videos. No eyewitness accounts. No police, military or vandalism records. The US Army says it didn't happen. It doesn't have the authority to act in such a way, anyway. Scytl points out it doesn't have an office in Frankfurt. It's based in Barcelona. And that hasn't been raided, either. ... Trump has seized on one apparent admission: "(There are) components in our products that come from China," a Dominion executive recently told US government hearings. Those same hearings were told this was limited to the LED displays – a product not manufactured by the US. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/donald-trump-truth-about-dominion-scytl-conspiracy-theory/YUHW5HRFJ7G3G6XJAS4MDVSSNE/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

erice 288 Posted Monday at 08:01 PM Author Report Share Posted Monday at 08:01 PM "The Republican Party is not going to be saved by hiding in a spider hole," said Trump's former national security adviser, John Bolton, during an appearance Sunday on CNN's State of the Union. Bolton is not among those who signed the statement. "We need all of our leaders to come out and say, 'the election is over.' We're not talking about an abstract right for Trump to use his legal remedies. We've past that." https://www.stuff.co.nz/world/americas/donald-trumps-america/300165977/us-election-more-than-100-republican-national-security-experts-call-on-donald-trump-to-concede-begin-transition Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AJ Oliver 100 Posted Wednesday at 05:53 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 05:53 AM If Biden merely restores the CDC to its former competence, his presidency will have been worth while. But wait, there is more !! Trump has "hollowed out" most US gummint agencies, supported by nearly all US conservatives. Don't take my word for it . . https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/science-under-trump Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KM... 783 Posted Wednesday at 07:28 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 07:28 AM But wait, under Trump the US median wage rose $6000. Under Obama/Biden they rose less than $100. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
