HINT: Let X be the commemorative coin; suppose you weigh it against a random other coin A. If it tips, you're done; otherwise weigh X and A against random B and C, and if they balance, weigh X, A, B, and C against four others. Can that scheme fail?

No, not the only one.
Bears repeating....
The bears are repeating again? Hey, hey, hey! Like Yogi Bear looking for the pic-a-nic basket with his pal Boo-Boo?

It is not the government's job to plan anyone's life
A non sequitur for the topic at hand. No one here says it's the government's job to plan anyone's life.
In which case I'm sure we can all agree to use the scientific method
and call it the Wuhan Flu
And of course let's blame the Chinese, just in case that has any meaning

I think the third wave will be muted by the vaccinations as well as warmer outdoor weather allowing more distancing, but yes we are awfully close to have such silly behavior.
People are tired, especially the young. At some point, people throw up their hands and say to hell with it...
Fair. Especially as it’s pretty clear the virus isn’t really dangerous for young folks (obv the danger of transmitting to others is there)
The big question remains whether the variants are more damaging to younger people.
True enough, but what we are seeing here is that more young people are showing up at the ERs. Yet ICU stats remain low and hospitalizations and are not dramatically increasing like in waves 1 & 2.

@horace Come to Minnesooooooota. I promise we won't become South Dakoooooota.
That made my day.
Kind of tells you how my day is going, doesn't it?
I'm here to help!
“Never Trump” is just another way of saying “I don’t think critically”. But, as always, cultures are comprised of low common denominators, and TDS is a low common denominator.

Can we get the hammock, too?
Ma'am, if you are able to put both gifts to use at the same time while standing up, I doff my hat to you...
Hmmmm ... Jolly called Lufins-dad a Ma'am.

Damn people around here need to get some unique avatars. Harumph!
Could only read the first couple of paragraphs due to non-subscription. But looks interesting.
I dont know a whole lot about the subject, but it is interesting that with heat/cold, everything tries to find the middle.
Thinking about the math a little bit ...
Suppose we deliver 200MM doses into people's arms by the 100th day of this new administration, that's roughly 100 million Americans fully vaccinated. Chances are there would be more because the single-dose vaccines are increasingly being used more.
The "100th day" brings us to April 30. The "100 million Americans" figure is roughly the number of all Americans 55 and older. Take out the anti-vaxxers and you can conceivably push that line down to "50 and older."
Once you get to that 50~55 line, it is quite conceivable that you can open eligibility to "all adults."
