    My only criticism is that the first study looked at MRI anatomical changes in the subjects.

    Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it's not there.

    Same for the "biomarker" tests.

    D2 still suffers from the residual of her COVID. Breathlessness, parosmia, etc. Chest X-ray, pulmonary functions, blood work all normal.

    How is her taste and smell? I remember you mentioning that it was quite bad for a long time.

        Surprised?

        Nope.

                  Meh. The Dominicans are just as good. Cubans are like Coors used to be east of the Rockies.

                      As any detective would ask, what is the motive for covering up? It is not like Cuba is our strategic partner or anything like that.

                        Who's running the country for the next ten days?

                        This man is in charge of the nuclear force.

                          That made me think. I would assume that there is some sort of "2 factor authentication" before anything could be done with our nuclear bombs, right?

                          I dont think that the president could just say, "fire all the bombs at Russia" and it would be done?

                            The short answer is yes, the President is the SOLE person who can authorize the use of nukes. That being said, what really happens (he doesn't have a button, he doesn't have launch codes) is he asks/orders his senior officials to execute the order. Ultimately a number of senior officials and military individuals are involved in carrying it out. If the order was as you said above (i.e., asks for it out of the blue), I'd imagine there would be senior officials who would refuse the order.

                            Some good articles, at least read the first bits...

                                @taiwan_girl Sure thing! If you want to read a bit more, there is the "football" that is always carried within a short distance from the President. If you ever watch the President on the move, look closely and you'll always see some military person carrying the 45-pound leather bag.
