    Prisons, Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Cruise Ships, and now (apparently) Apartment Buildings. The lesson here seems to be don't be locked up in a confined space with sick people.

    I'm not a big fan of certainty when it comes to complicated stuff, and that first guy sounds awfully certain.

    I heard about this last year when I was working for the Cologuard folks. My thought on them was 'yeah, you have the easier test now, but it is not as accurate as a 'scope and there are others out there working on better testing'. In other words, Cologuard will be a thing of the past in ten years and you had better find something else quick. I know they are working on a liver test as the next offering, but it is a blood test too, so not sure how innovative it really is. They bought Genomic Sciences while I was there so they now own Oncytype DX testing.

    Makes sense to me. Numbers generally do not lie and both Mass Gen and Deaconess are first rate. I have worked for Mass Gen. Great place.

    I bet she's licked a few poles in the subway.

    @jon-nyc said in SCOTUS tosses "Bridgegate" convictions: It is a real shame that the law is so specific that it be monetary gains. At the very least we can take solace in the fact that at least Kelly was crushed financially. Not sure about the resources of the other two but insofar as they have any they’ll lose them in civil actions, I would expect. So some sort of justice will be done. Trust me when I say I am all for rewriting the law. Somehow I doubt it will ever pass and you likely won’t like who is against it,

    @taiwan_girl said in Previous Pandemics: @Copper said in Previous Pandemics: So the assumption is that the shutdown has had some effect. I think it has. I think without the shutdown and other "social" things in place worldwide, the dead toll would be much higher. What do you think Copper? I have no basis for that kind of speculation. I know just about everyone is an expert on this, but I think that at some point just about everyone is speculating. Which is, of course, to be expected. It would be nice if we knew for sure. If we did we could take the appropriate action. We shut everything down with only slightly less information than we have now opening up. I think it is reasonable to assume the lock-down hurt a lot of people financially. Maybe it will help in the long run.

    Everything else causes climate change, I suppose the virus could too.

    I thought it was the Democrats who were generally brain dead. Maybe Covid isn't the only thing that's contagious.
