Needed for motorcycle accidents and flu.

Officials say 800 Allina workers, 905 Mayo Clinic employees, and 1,200 workers at CentraCare are currently out due to COVID-19 or exposure. Must suck to have to take 14+ days off when you are not even sick.

Slackers. Send them back to the hospital....It worked for Coumo!!

Agreed. Hell, they may even get an Emmy, for killing people.

Just kill some folks and downplay the numbers as those you sent into nursing homes, got infected, were sent to the hospital, then when they died, they were not part of the stats from the nursing homes. Not sure how the guy sleeps at night.

Gene experts claim they identified genes that can protect against Covid-19

That is a good article. Watched a program on CRISPR a few weeks ago with my wife. Fascinating but what do scientists know? Wishful thinking is better.

CRISPR is an amazing technology. Enormous potential for good.......and possible bad

Who would have more statistics, data, reports, resarch and anecdotal information on the lethality of the coronavirus than a governor of the 8th largest economy in the world and the President of his state Medical Association? 9 months of data State wide, nationally, and globally.

Its how they make their recommendations to close schools, lockdown small businesses, mandate masks and social distancing. What allows them to deny constitutional guarantees of freedom.

This photo shows you everything you need to know about the coronavirus and its danger to us all.

newsom-3.jpg

Thats the Governor of California, the President of the California Medical Association their chief Lobyist and some friends. Representing five different households dining together. Completely unprotected and unafraid of catching or succumbing to the coronavirus.

Tell us again this isn't about power!

It shows how arrogant people can be, as well as how folks were getting WAY too relaxed a month ago. Big embarrassment for Newsom, he's apologized, said it was wrong to do. Morning Joe ripped and ripped on him this AM.

6ft, what "constitutional guarantees of freedom" have you been denied?

Love hearing from a Constitutional scholar...

wgdsr, sure there's indeed some history, this isn't the first time 6ft has claimed that his Constitutional rights have been abridged. and each time, he fails to make a solid case for that actually being true.

It's hyperbolic nonsense.
IMO...does my adding IMO help?

so, yeah, my saying that he's no "Constitutional scholar" could easily be called "condescending". I definitely don't have a high opinion of 6ft's comprehension of the Constitution.

Do I need to add a laughing emoji? Or would that make it just more condescending?

At least I give him the respect of engaging with his statements, inviting him to explain and defend his views.

But that's met with GFY.
And that's quite often the sort of response we get when there's actual pushback.

did I offend you in some other way, wgdsr? My response to the mask study?

i can assure you i don't have any affront to your particular opinion of mask studies. it doesn't run very deep.
how am i doing so far in response to that unrelated crack?

your tone here sucks on this. pointing it out for ya. you should fully expect a gfy in reply if that's how you "engage". imo. when i'm a wise ass, it is 99+% (i hope) as response in kind or a general statement as opposed to an attack on an individual here, and anyone is free to wear the shoe if it fits or not. so maybe this is just an extended grudge or something of equally culpable ends and i should butt out. though i do note that it's your opinion of his opinion/knowledge that you mention as history.

what helps me on here... any contentious slate is generally wiped clean for me with anyone asap. or i try. doesn't mean it won't pick up again at a later date if re-lit, but tends to help my end of discourse.

or do it your way.

My response to the mask study was indeed not intended to be 'deep', as I found it to be really not that interesting, for much the same set of reasons others did. Just doesn't tell us anything useful, and so I'm not sure why it deserves the additional attention in any deeper detail. But maybe for some, simply the exercise is interesting? No issue with that from me. My response wasn't intended to be dismissive of anything you had posted, I was just wondering what had rankled you in particular that caused you to step in about my tone.
your opinion is fine and expected. much more important is that a bunch of agnostic scientists and potentially policymakers take the data point and know that it could be incredibly useful in helping understand where to go with the information.
I do get annoyed with the questioning of whether masks help reduce spread...so my tone on that topic may be strained.

I also have a difficult time reading whether someone is intending to just be funny or a 'wise-ass' or is actually seriously being offensive, and I suspect my posts can be just as ambiguous at times. That said, sometimes I'm indeed dismissive, based on the repeated choices of a fellow poster...as was the case here with 6ft. And sure, that can come across as 'condescending'.

I'm definitely on edge with the nonsense.

Serious question: You seem to have an issue with folks stating conflicting opinions, and why, as if that's not reasonable? Everything needs to established as factual?
no issue with opinions at all. don't think i've ever said otherwise. quite the opposite, in fact, and have expressed that plenty. maybe ambiguously or in code in the short form of the internet, that can happen in chats vs. live conversations if you let it (i do). varied opinions make the country great. makes fanlax a place of discourse and not "an echo chamber". what a boring and dangerous place we'd live in if there wasn't differing opinion.
most of my alluding to opinions vs. facts revolves around how people communicate. everyone has their own style of writing, and as an example yours often bends toward proclamations that read as facts when they are, in fact, opinions. (that's my opinion) i attempt to couch much of mine as opinions or guesswork, or so i think, and i often fail that test. that's not a slight to you, we all do that in conversation. for effect, to bolster credibility... it's not uncommon or even necessarily duplicitous. i adjust per poster and add the "IMO" in my reading comprehension accordingly. and point it out occasionally.
if you're referring to my quote above to any degree, i simply noted that your defense for taking your shots was that your history with 6ft was one of differing opinion.
This discussion above was precipitated by a critique of Newsom, with which I agreed on principle. But then the 'opinion' discussion continued re 'Constitutional freedoms', something that perplexed me, that I sensed was more over the top, right wing hyperbole.

I'm on edge with that as well...just watch Guiliani...

Perhaps I just need a good workout, get a good sweat...

Thanks. All fair.

If you have 95 minutes and access to Showtime, check out "Citizen Bio". Pretty crazy documentary about a bunch of guys actually using the tech and testing on themselves.

I remember sitting in my wife’s lab as she checked on DNA that she had sequenced when we were in graduate school.

Hard to believe the Dakotas have such high infectious rates with such brave men like Krabbenhoft.

Fargo, ND - Sanford Health has released a statement following an email in which CEO Kelby Krabbenhoft wrote to Sanford employees that wearing a mask for COVID-19 “would be merely for show,”

Krabbenhoft told employees that he has recovered from COVID-19 and is back in the office without a mask.

Krabbenhoft, said in an email Wednesday that he believes he’s now immune to the disease for “at least seven months and perhaps years to come” and that he isn’t a threat to transmit it to anyone, so wearing a mask would be merely for show.

Efficacy vs. Effectiveness

"2 Companies Say Their Vaccines Are 95% Effective. What Does That Mean?

You might assume that 95 out of every 100 people vaccinated will be protected from Covid-19. But that’s not how the math works."
