O I feel fine, even the decline still has me in the ‘normal’ range of lung function. It was just out of nowhere, so we’re trying to nip any underlying problem in the bud.

The soft bigotry of low expectations.

I think he's trying to give himself more tingles. Pretty deranged rant on Matthews' part.

Yep.

@Mik said in For people what got money...: Never understood expensive watches. No qualitative difference in the experience as far as I can see. Status and jewelry. That’s it.

@Jolly what a great story. In the article I linked the author comments on how, when you put on a suit you feel different.

Speaking of "stopping the spread"...Any medical person with two brain cells to rub together knew better than that. We weren't going to stop the virus. The purpose behind that campaign was to buy time. To slow the spread down. Multiple reasons: We've only got so many beds and so many people to staff them. We were desperately hunting for treatments that would work. Viruses gotta virus. Given time, most viruses become more infectious, but less lethal.

@Mik said in They start at $75K: That may be so, but legal and ethical are two different animals. What appalls me about it is the brazenness. Oh, yes. Anyone with half a brain, even Hunter (!), knew what this really was. However, ethics is not showing up as being high on this administration's list.
