    I was 5, and have a dim recollection of both my parents being ill in bed with the flu at around that time - which was the only time I can remember that ever happening, so it's possible they had it.

    All the original article said was that Pence said they were having discussions about it. One would expect that as we don't need a Department of Corona Virus. Just more clickbait trying to stir people up.

    @Copper said in 50 years ago today:

    79 haunting photos from the Kent State University shootings you’ve likely never seen before

    https://www.cleveland.com/news/2020/05/79-haunting-photos-from-the-kent-state-university-shootings-youve-likely-never-seen-before.html

    The bell-bottoms and hair and the vehicles

    The black and white pictures

    And the scenes of college rioters and national guard facing each other on campus

    And of course this was in the context of Vietnam protest, Nixon, moon landings and hippies

    None of that really exists anymore and probably couldn't exist.

    There is definitely a different group of players on stage these days.

    I went to Walmart today. Maybe half the shoppers wore masks.

    Maybe half of the employees wore masks, maybe less than half.

    @George-K Spy in Putin's office Given his proximity to Putin, I've thought we should have a good way to know Putin's intentions regarding the election. I assumed this was part of the reason for the Senate's confidence in their finding that Russia had worked to support Trump's Presidency. Some of the talk for the reason he was extricated from Russia was that they were concerned that someone would blurt out information which would draw attention to his activities.

    OK, she is crazy.

    But that doesn't mean she is wrong about all of it.

    Tough room, jeez.

    Sorry, it's a saxophonists joke. Whenever we hear somebody play, we suggest they work on their long notes.

    It is pretty cool that he's doing it.

    Well we treat it now by infusing the protein after extracting it from blood plasma.

    This would make it easier to scale, more pure, and more robust - so less frequent infusions.

    The treatment is imperfect, though, and does nothing about liver effects.

    We have other treatments in development that are more promising.
