I heard a mention that in nyc they honk their horns or scream or do something at 7pm every day for the healthcare workers.
There is no sociological principle more reliable than the one that says that people who put Esq. after their names are bad.

Just got word that we are required to be back in the office on June 20th. Seems reasonable. Plenty of time for the inevitable cases to skyrocket again and push it even further.

Looking at the D614G paper, thereās plenty of room for skepticism when trying to eyeball the relative prevalence of the two strains over time. The authorsā main source of data is the GISAID sequence repository, which is the best source of getting viral sequencing data, but as of this moment, itās just over 17k samples worldwide, and now weāre trying to partition that down to various localities and time bins. The sample sizes in that Washington plot is pretty small, and Washington has been one of the most prolific sequencers of the virus. Itās also not clear that the sites that are doing whole viral genome sequencing are necessarily getting a representative sampling. Itās pretty unlikely we really have representative sequencing data, as weāre having trouble even getting representative positive/negative testing. It might be interesting if the sequencing data was representative of the total tested population, but Iām not sure even that is true.

US rows back on āvirus lab releaseā theory
The origins of the coronavirus are a topic of ongoing controversy in US politics. Intelligence officials are investigating whether the virus was accidentally created in a lab called WIV in Wuhan, China where the outbreak began.
President Donald Trump and others close to him have said they have seen evidence that coronavirus did in fact come from this lab. China denies this, and there is currently no evidence supporting the conspiracies.
On Wednesday Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said there was āsignificantā evidence supporting the lab theory - a step back from a statement on Sunday that there was āenormous evidenceā.
Now he has said in a radio interview that the US has āseen evidence that it came from the lab. That may not be the case.ā
I learned which parts are thick and which are pretty thin. I was doing the top first and I was like - I must be doing something wrong, thereās usually a lot more hair coming off than this. Then I did the back and was like - oh, thatās where all the hair comes from.

I had a pal at work who had played drums in a cruise chip band and really loved it.
Except the night he totally fucked up the rhythm of The Girl From Ipanema and they had to restart it.

I work in donations for a major university. The list of titles we have to offer cracks me up.
Apparently people get extremely upset if their prefix or suffix doesnāt show up in the options.
