    Personally, I don't want to die in a Super 8 motel just because somebody's evening didn't go so well.

    Better off sleeping in the county jail.

    When I first heard that song, I had flashbacks.

    When you include very specific numbers, no one questions it.

    I used to do something similar with mileage. They wouldn’t pay for you to go home, but I used to just write in return to Shelbyville to write an article, which was eventually true but I was going home. No one said anything.

    Funny thing is now, the specifics really do matter. I put in an absence report and forgot to change my hours gone from the default off during the school hours to contract hours (a difference of about an hour and a half) and my principal was all over it. I’m not sneaking in fudged mileage any more

    By "the universities" you mean "the number of deaths and people in hospital beds"?

    No. I mean, the people quoted in the article are largely working for universities. Although, it should be noted, the "an infectious-disease specialist and clinical professor emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley’s School of Public Health" remains "insecure" about it.

    Of course, the idea of "over" in the sense that "there won't be people dying from this"...it may never be over in that way. "Over" in the sense that American people are just going to do whatever they relatively please...that's already happened in some places of the country. But "over" in the sense of "the nation's biggest progressive cities and universities will loosen up considerably"...yes, we're at that level of over.

    I believe New York, Chicago and other places will adopt some COVID precautions permanently.

    That tone was set when the former president of the United States chose to base his response to COVID on his desire to avoid taking any blame for anything.

    Do people really get vaccines at their doctors? I always get my flu vaccine at Publix. I did get my shingles vaccine at my doctor but that surprised me because they had not been carrying it. I fully expected to get that at Publix. My daughter always had hers at the doctor's office but as an adult, I never get vaccines at the doctor

    I usually get my flu vaccine at a doctor's office, but that is because I usually see my allergy doctor around that time and they always have it.
