    People are on ventilators and denying that they're infected.

    I think about all the incredible work that's required to make the vaccines—the labwork, the computations, the large-scale and sophisticated manufacturing, the massive amounts of bureaucracy and oversight—and then I think about people in hospitals, being told by a group of doctors and nurses that they're infected, and they willingly deny it. How is it that we're talking about the same species.

    Sam Harris would say for the denier that it would be insane for you to expect any other response from that person. You are the world champion at being nearly identical to who you were yesterday.

      She is chock full o' antibodies. There is no way that she could carry this crap into work, but she still would be required to isolate if Cade came and stayed?

      She just called (on an unrelated matter) and I asked her about this.

      Her office is adopting the most-conservative guidelines for work. If you've been sick with the virus, you're not permitted to come to the office if you've been exposed to someone who is quarantined if it's been more than 60 days since onset of illness. She's at day 58.

      That's not conservative, that's anti-science crap. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/17/health/coronavirus-immunity.html A reasonable response is that they should be allowed to have an antibody test to show that the count is still high enough to provide immunity...

      To the matter at hand, however, isn't she still going to need to work from home because of Trav?

                How long does the loss of taste and smell last?

                      I feel like an idiot... Luke loves pomegranates. Today, completely unthinking, I thought I would do something nice for him and brought home a Costco 6-pack of Pomegranates...

                        And he ate some and could taste it! Not 100%, but it wasn’t completely bland.

                                      85% sounds about right, George. She's right on schedule, and in another couple months she'll feel pretty normal again. Good for her. Yes, it's a long road, but she's far along it now.
