Migrant children at border are still being separated from relatives under Biden administration

That’s an amazing article in the lengths it goes to to try and differentiate Bidens policy from Trumps policy when the end result is exactly the same. Lol.

Anyone watch the Biden speech tonight? He said if we're good little boys and girls we might be able to have small BBQ's for the 4th of July.


He also said to expect further guidance on what you can do in the coming weeks if you're fully vaccinated.

Here's what you can do if you're fully vaccinated........ Are you ready?











Anything you f*cking want.

What is with these people? Why are they intent on acting like this virus is still a thing?

More opinions dressed up as facts. Everyone else is wrong.

‘No doubt’ there will be further Covid waves in autumn, says UK’s chief statistician

Professor Sir Ian Diamond, head of the Office for National Statistics (ONS), has said there will “no doubt” be another wave of coronavirus infections in the autumn.
Speaking on Sunday, Sir Ian acknowledged the impact of the “wonderful” vaccine rollout though cautioned “we need to recognise that this is a virus that isn’t going to go away.”

"And I have no doubt that in the autumn there will be a further wave of infections," he told The Andrew Marr Show on BBC One.
The UK’s national statistician pointed toward regional variations in terms of how many people have antibodies.

This comes after Professor Chris Whitty, England’s chief medical officer, said he would “strongly advise” against any rapid easing of coronavirus restrictions.

“All the modelling suggests there is going to be a further surge and that will find the people who either have not been vaccinated or where the vaccine has not worked,” Mr Whitty said.

Warning against the dangers of lifting restrictions too quickly, the chief medical officer said that even under the most optimistic set of assumptions, a further 30,000 lives could be lost to Covid-19

'I'd Much Rather Be in Florida': Focusing on the Bright Side in the Sunshine State

Despite their differing approaches, California and Florida have experienced almost identical outcomes in COVID-19 case rates

How have two states that took such divergent tacks arrived at similar points?

This woman just gets it.

Woman arrested at Texas bank after bucking business mask mandate: 'What are you going to do, arrest me?'

No knees were used in the arrest, even though she claimed "police brutality".

From the article:
“Police brutality, people,” she says.
“No,” others in the bank can be heard saying. “No, it's not.”

Major European nations suspend use of AstraZeneca vaccine

BERLIN (AP) — A cascading number of European countries — including Germany, France, Italy and Spain — suspended use of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine Monday over reports of dangerous blood clots in some recipients, though the company and international regulators say there is no evidence the shot is

DeSantis 2024. PIggybacking on Covid and the droves moving to Florida from New York and California. He's got a story now to add to presidential pedigree. Book it. Trump's already bored. he won't keep up for four more years.

Florida Sees Same COVID Case Rate as California

According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Florida has a COVID-19 case count of around 9,018 per 100,000 residents and around 150 deaths per 100,000 residents.

Biden's approach to the pandemic in a nutshell is to underpromise and overdeliver. Actuallt, its underpromise to a ludicrous degree. The same goes for Biden's target date of May 1 for making all folks over 18 eligible to be vaccinated. States were already moving quickly in that direction; all adults are eligible in Alaska right now and in Mississippi starting today.



Georgia, Michigan, Utah, and Connecticut to follow in early April. That will put tremendous pressure on other governors to follow suit quickly, not wanting to be seen as falling behind their neighbors. The May 1 deadline is another case of Biden setting the bar on the floor so that his team can easily step over it. Kinda like 100 million doses in first 100 days.

Is that a critique? Underpromising and overdelivering is always the good common sense thing to do.

Is that a critique? Underpromising and overdelivering is always the good common sense thing to do.

Not really a critique more of a disappointment in some of the messaging. I caught McConnell's floor speech and he made some good points with regards to the vaccination program Biden inherited and the pace we were on when Biden took over. I didn't agree with everything Mitch said, though.
He stated that Fauci recently projected that all Americans would be eligible sometime in April, making the May 1 deadline seem to cautious. Except that's not quite true: Fauci did initially see April as the month when the general population would begin to get vaccinated but he revised that to May or June last month when J&J ran into manufacturing delays. I think we're back on the April timeline now thanks to Merck's agreement to partner with J&J on manufacturing. Fauci has grown more cautious about general eligibility than McConnell let on.
Underpromising and overperforming is preferred to overpromising and underperforming, obviously.
I just wish the messaging was better as a whole.

U.S. health officials question results from AstraZeneca’s vaccine trial, less than a day after they’re released. (Published 2021)

Some questions need to be answered. Why weren't AZ's trial reports ready from the start? Why did they rush out a press release announcing their results before the DSMB had signed off?
An expert in clinical trials with regard to tension between the NIAID and AstraZeneca: "I've never seen anything like this. It's so, so troubling."

Hopefully the most recent data will confirm that the vaccine is safe and effective (Fauci seems to believe that it will) and final FDA approval next month will undo most of the PR damage done by this episode and the earlier trial cluster****.

will it matter? All of that AZ stored is probably going bad before we can get it into people. With JnJ and the others, we’ll be fine without it

Gladwell did an episode for Revisionist History called the Powerball Revolution. It was about a concept called democratic lotteries. It’s just as it sounds - an office holder is picked at random from all the balls in the jar. The findings were very interesting. The main point is that the lottery encourages people to participate and throw their hat in the ring. People want to do the work but don’t want to campaign, even for middle school student council. Further, the people you get in a lottery are more often effective in their role.
