@taiwan_girl said in Spanish Covid observed mortality much lower:

Part of it may be that the older people are taking much more precautions now than at the beginning of the pandemic. Old people homes are much more restrictive, etc.

The age group that is getting it is younger and younger and those people mostly do not get as sick or die.

Exactly. I said from the beginning securing the vulnerable should be our priority.

Awesome

We tried one of those recently. Worked very well! A lot of folks re-heat their orders now anyway, so it's not that much of a stretch.

I'm glad you brought this technological breakthrough to my attention.

Yeah, protecting critical infrastructure from foreign threat is the responsible thing to do. Be it the electrical grid or the communications network, I can see good reasons to restrict what components may or may not go into the critical parts of these systems.

I like going to the gym. It's a break in the day, and when you go there you are not distracted.

I do like the Riv.

I had a '68, which would be the 2nd Gen. Factory claimed top speed was 132mph and it would do every bit of it.

Only skimmed the article bit it was more about turnout. Easier to imagine them making a difference in turnout than in who to vote for.

The difference is this would be out of character and there’s no near-precedent on tape.

Charge them and if they get snagged again while on bail make them cool their heels in jail and get them off the streets.

Mr. Wheeler seems to be deranged.

Sadly, for Portlanders, a few years back they passed a rule to go to run-off elections. So, the choice is between feckless liberal Wheeler or a socialist,
Iannarone. Pretty sure Wheeler will be re-elected. There is no other viable choice.

About as much as the latest confirmation about the Atlantic's Trump story...

Exactly. LOL
