    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-07-05/china-s-inner-mongolia-reports-suspected-case-of-bubonic-plague

      A hospital in northern China’s Inner Mongolia reported one suspected case of bubonic plague on Saturday, according to a statement on the local health commission’s website.

      A third-level warning alert was issued on Sunday; the warning period will extend to the end of this year.

      The Bayannaoer health commission warned of the risks of human-to-human infection from the plague and urged people in the city to take precautions.

      Have a nice week.

                          It may have been more akin to sociopathy to go around asking everybody out.

                            @Horace No, it was statistical analysis. The larger the sample size the larger number of responses you will find.

                                Reminds me of a story I know I’ve told before but I’ll never stop telling it.

                                I once worked with and hung out with this guy in São Paulo who would go to crowded bars and maneuver himself such that his back would brush up against a woman’s back. But instead of instantly pulling away like you normally would when that happened, he would keep it there a bit longer than normal or even lean in just a bit.

                                He said most girls immediately pulled away but one in ten would stay still, or even lean back into him.

                                He said invariably he’d end up taking those girls home.

                                So I said to him ‘are you telling me that out of every 10 girls you do that to, 1 comes home with you?’

                                And he said ‘No, Jon, out of every thousand girls I do that too, 100 go home with me’.
