    Reads like you @Jolly is asymptomatic or have only very mild symptoms. I hope it won‘t get worse and you’ll stay healthy. Take care.

    I have a few WhatsApp people, but in Thailand, LINE seems to be much bigger.

    (Actually LINE is pretty big all through Asia)

    Again, you can publicly wring hands over them, but if I noticed you never doing that over CHAZ, then it won't work.

    Didn't you just say you don't notice much?

    I guess I notice my neighborhood more than the world.

    B. The Senate may split 50-50, effectively giving Biden's "reasonable choice" VP control of the Senate

    If the senate is split 50-50 Joe Manchin will control it.

    Georgia Voters Made Joe Manchin President on Tuesday

    Joe Machin is 73, and he will be 77 when he next faces the decision of whether to run for a third full term. If Manchin really has an “inner socialist” crying to get out, it could be that he decides to not seek re-election which would liberate him from limits he feels from the West Virginia electorate to maintain his moderate voting profile.

    The pressure on him is going to be enormous. But one thing is certain, he does not need the influence or financial support of the Democrat Party or its outside interest groups to help him win in West Virginia if he does choose to run again. They have no leverage over him in that regard.

    There are parts of the Democrat agenda that he is fully onboard with — such as guaranteed health care, which is a big issue for his constituents. He voted for Obamacare — which the GOP has not repealed. I’m not certain he would be a vote for a Bernie Sanders form of single-payor socialized medicine — not as long as Obamacare address the issue to the satisfaction of West Virginians’ needs.

    He is not going to cripple West Viriginia’s economy with the use of any kind of carbon emission caps, and he will not support any legislation to end fracking.

    Joe Manchin has been consistently moderate throughout his political career. He is the Democrat version of Susan Collins, He might vote for Chuck Schumer to be Senate Leader, but the socialist/liberal Democrats won’t be able to count on his vote as might be the case with 49 others.

    She called Medical Records Health Informatics this afternoon. She explained that she received 5 discs, 4 of which were clearly her radiology studies going back years, and the one, with a sharpie-made label on it, containing 135 records of other patients.

    "Wait...what???"

    ::Explanation occurs::

    Silence on the other end of the line for about 15 seconds.

    "We're going to mail you a FedEx envelope into which we ask you put the questionable CD. Please get it back to us ASAP."

    It’s either a total breakdown of security or orders from on high. Both need to be investigated and the truth will come out. We can speculate all day long and we will but we will absolutely find out and regardless people will be fired.

    What happened yesterday was gross, shameful and needless.

    Talking to you is worse than talking to a fucking 3 year old. Just fuck off. I try to engage in a discussion where both sides are respected, and you can't do it. So just go fuck yourself.

    attempts to have Trump declared winner of the presidential election are going to be hampered by the fact he lost it
