I have kept snakes since I was 8 years old. When I was 9 or 10, I had a rainbow boa. I had scarlet fever, and was feeling really horrible, and had a fever.
My rainbow boa escaped from its cage, and found its way to my chest when I was sleeping. It curled up there, enjoying the heat I was throwing off.
When I woke up, I found the snake on my chest, and rather than being terrified, I though it was the nicest thing that could have happened.
I put the snake back in its cage.

I wonder how many of them have been illegally profiting on Donny's coat tail.


I would hazard guess - a substantial majority of them.

It's his base that is what they want, as that can make or break them. It's a bit like the Islamist schools. They teach hatred, and are surprised when it is actually carried out.
Some far right media outlets have taught the same type of messages, and can't undo what they have already taught. In both cases, things are taught, and retaught that are just not true. Fixing that seems impossible.

Will the final collapse of the Arecibo telescope be a fitting image for the end of the Trump presidency?

No, the Arecibo telescope will be missed.

My company just changed our health care provider to save money. Now, my deductible is almost $7000. My company may pay a portion of this, but if I get sick or hurt, I am financially screwed. Watching Trump flout his golden situation, and knowing what the rest of us face, makes me realize that of the many differences Americans face, that wealth is a huge determination of what our chances are of surviving Covid, or any other ailment.

New Hampshire is still one of the safest states. We did a lot of things right, and I hate to see Trump come here, and potentially undo much of the good that has happened here.
I wish he would stop these rallies and start listening to his own experts.

It has been stated that the Flu season is October to May & that the estimated global annual deaths is from 290,000 to 650,000 (12,000 to 61,000 for the U.S.).
Deadly as Covid-19 is showing, I personally think that the media & Politicians are blowing this out of proportion, even the BBC has a separate tab on its news page - Coronavirus.


that's 12,000-60,000 U.S. Flu deaths WITHOUT mitigation/quarantine. from Oct-May

COVID-19 in the U.S. has killed over 90,000 WITH mitigation/quarantine, from Feb-now, in half the time. . and these numbers are likely under-reported from lack of testing every single death, and would be even worse without any mitigation/quarantine. It's not really blown out of proportion.

Similarly with the numbers coming out of poorer and more remote areas in Africa and South America, I believe the numbers are likely higher than being currently reported due to lack of testing available and generally poorer medical conditions. Then the added variable of some countries purposely withholding some/all stats in an effort to save face and have the image that they have it "under control". Do you really believe North Korea has 0 cases?

You are absolutely right.
