Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

So let’s answer the door and chat...

Fucking idiots.

 

Duke cancels basketball season due to Covid. No, not the men’s team.

Duke Women’s Basketball Ends Season Early Because of Virus Concerns

 

That's a huge story. Makes you wonder if players are really sick and not just asymptomatic positives.

 

Myocardial after-effects.

 

Among the Duke players? That would suck.

 

I get the impression the Duke players (and their coach) are just the types who feel like sports during a pandemic is not a great idea and decided to take a stand.

Unrelated, I'm really disappointed at how poor the data reporting is on how many vaccines have been administered.

 

I was kind of stunned when the NFL paused for a moment of silence for the 300,000 killed by COVID-19. Maybe now a few more people will understand just because it happens in dribs and drabs, this has been a huge national catastrophe.

 

My word, how irresponsible of the Times ...

Opinion | Can We Do Twice as Many Vaccinations as We Thought?

 

It's an interesting question, but there's no way around the answer being "no, we can't." The vaccine wasn't tested for a single dose and by the time a new set of trials could be completed, we'll likely have multiple other vaccines approved and the whole thing will be moot.

 

Four years in jail.

Chinese Citizen Journalist Sentenced to 4 Years for Covid Reporting


“Ms. Zhang’s trial, at the Shanghai Pudong New District People’s Court on Monday, lasted less than three hours. The official charge on which she was convicted was “picking quarrels and provoking trouble,” a vague charge commonly used against critics of the government. Prosecutors had initially recommended a sentence between four and five years.

Ms. Zhang appeared for the trial in a wheelchair, one of her lawyers, Zhang Ke Ke, wrote on Monday on WeChat, a messaging app. Mr. Zhang had written in a post a few days earlier that she had lost a significant amount of weight and was almost unrecognizable from even just a few weeks before.”

 

Such a piece might get Wright life imprisonment in China.
