    @Rich said in Here’s your sign: @89th American Sign Language isn’t a direct word for word translation into English. Particularly for those who have been deaf from birth (and have limited experience with standard English) the interpreters can be easier to understand. Rich good to know. I learned ASL basics when my sister needed it when she was younger, it’s funny how I still remember what I had learned way back then, even without practicing.

    Above that was the Pence news. My quote about nursing homes was swiped from twitter. Maybe Cuomo made a similar observation.

    Actually it wasn’t Y2K now that I think about it but decimalization. Right around the same time. Remember when stocks quoted in fractions?

    Hopefully all landlords including commercial landlords are being relaxed with rent payments. It’s a big ripple effect...

    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.
