Won’t the inmates be surprised.

It's one thing for these professional organizations to take a position, distance themselves, or even condemn, but YouTube may be too big for its britches. Also, I want to know whether the licensing jurisdictions will take action against these individuals? Have they done something that would constitute a material violation, or simply taken an unpopular position on a matter of public concern. Will CA revoke or threaten to revoke their licenses? If CA doesn't even try, isn't that essentially a concession that the speakers aren't as terrible as everyone wants to make them out to be?

At that age, I suspect most of the recruiting visits were on TikTok.

https://inewz.tv Near as I can tell, a citizen journalist. Very prolific on Facebook, YouTube, and social media, too.

Maybe the saddest thing of all is that little, old inewz.tv (love him or hate him) consistently scoops both the Herald and WDAY/WDAZ on Grand Forks area news. I don't know if he's a professionally or even a minimally trained journalist, but he definitely cuts the BS and gets facts out quickly. He seems to get reliable information, usually from law enforcement or official government sources. Does that dude ever sleep?

So in some ways, the US and its institutions are like sausage. Learning how it's made can be unsettling, while ignorance can be sheer bliss. And there's no way to put the pig back together. -
I think we should have daily updates for Herpes, too. You know, to get a sense of how things are going in the community, how many new tests and cases there were, what additional safeguards we may need, and how many have recovered.

They're going to roll out a pilot program in which each patient presenting at the ER will be asked to weld a few beams before triage. Unless they have COVID-19 symptoms, in which case they'll have to pour a few yards of concrete as well.

Boy, hindsight is now grounds for calling out fellow Sioux fans for...attending a hockey game? In February? This says far more about you than Siouxperman8, I’m afraid.

As to orange, were respondents given any options? Was "stay-at-home" presented to them as an absolute, either/or proposition...as in, either you stay home, or you die? Or was it selected from a grouping of gradual return to work/school, or rapid return to work/school, or reckless return to work/school, or case-by-case risk assessments of specific activities?

Or, both would be good.

No, but if you're on a ventilator now might not be the best time to shop for competitive rates. Time will tell. If an antibody test shows a past infection, but the applicant is not sick and there's no data correlating to higher mortality, then there would likewise be minimal impact on insurability. Insurance companies will need to get past the regulators and right now, there's just not enough data to draw any meaningful inferences.

Only time will bear out how COVID-19 status affects underwriting and actuarial data. If most of the population is eventually (+), then the impact would seem minimal. The insurance industry needs to sell insurance to sustain itself, and it can't disqualify everybody.

Pretty big hill to climb to show that X was infected by Y at a specific place and time. One would pretty much have to prove that they hadn't been infected elsewhere (and where ya' been and who ya' been with will almost certainly need to be disclosed). Will be interesting to see if the various strains of the virus have genetic 'fingerprints' that can be traced. Businesses need only take reasonable precautions. Courts will look to CDC and others for guidance, but it will come down to insurance companies and, ultimately, juries to decide liability AND how to apportion responsibility (including of the person claiming to have been infected). Sickened employees may be stuck with workers comp as their only recourse.

idiot [ id-ee-uht ] noun 1. A person who expects empathy from healthy persons for the sick and elderly in the form of abstention from certain activities, while abjectly failing to extend the same empathy to healthy persons adversely affected, or disproportionately impacted, by such abstention. 2. A person who will blindly adhere to government edicts without regard for their constitutionality, duration, clarity, or merits, or who would seek to deprive others of the right and opportunity to question the same. 3. A person who makes political that which is inherently non-political. 4. A person, esp. one who lacks formal training in medicine, epidemiology, or statistics, who monitors daily data from public health authorities in the midst of a global pandemic and tries to extrapolate anything meaningful therefrom. 5. A person who refuses to wear a mask in public after I start wearing one, because I'm pretty sure the crap is going to have to hit the fan big time before that happens.
