New York & other US states make changes to improve the policing problems.

RE: All is prepared for my birthday - sort of!

Uh oh. I guess the surprise won't be, as terrific, as she planned.
Maybe I shouldn't ruin the surprise......

your mom got you the same bed.



OK. Maybe not.
Either way, I hope K gives you something very special.

Final stage of Moderna Covid-19 Vaccine will start in July and Brit final stage starts this month.

The evidence is in genome sequencing. That's solid. The east coast got the virus from
travelers between Europe and the US.

Perhaps a change in governor will eventually help. But, FL does have more than it's share of
extreme right dopes.

Well, it will be the last one "in the past 10 years".
But, you are right, it won't be the last virus that (collectively) infects us.
Both China and the US (Trump and his enablers) attempted to cover it up, which is criminal.
Hopefully, we will have a more honest president (how could we not) next time.
His record total lies while in office is well over 10,000 now.
The ones about Covid-19 and his failure at leadership in dealing with it, led to many people dying. What a shame that his enablers in the senate did not do the right thing and remove him from office. Hopefully the voters will in November.

True. But, that does not mean that it has mutated the part that is involved with a vaccine.
Regardless, we should not assume that any vaccine is effective for life. We don't assume
that for current vaccines. Some, like the flu, are updated yearly against several strains.

S - if you are going to copy & paste something composed by someone else, please use the quote on & off brackets, or at least put quote marks (") on both sides of the quoted statement. Thanks.

Besides, the type of Covid-19 the US east coast got hit with is by way of Europe.

Your 'worries' seem quite late. NJ is well below the peak.
Unlike the "so-called" president, I have absolutely no connection to the Chinese, nor communists.
The Chinese vaccines are still in trials. I would advise no one to get vaccinated until trial results
are in.

No. We all should be safe. It was the incoherent message.
I'm very serious. Have you been drinking alcohol today ?

Seriously, are you drunk ?

There would be outrage, not only with the public, but in DC as well, if they were to try such a thing.

In my opinion it would be reasonable, that in this type of case, the money provided to them to fund such research in a profitable endeavor should be paid back from the profits with interest to be used for other future grants.

r - I have no objection to profit, as long as it is reasonable, and that company had nothing to do with causing the disease.

OG - Those who refuse vaccination will be more susceptible to infection. Thus more of them will get infected and die, or recover. People who are vaccinated will be mostly unaffected by them. Unfortunately, some of the unvaccinated will essentially act to be a reservoir for the virus and therefore increase persistence of the virus in the population. Thus, annual vaccinations are advised.

To all - I would not count vaccines, before the trials are over and the vaccines are produced in quantity. However, progress is being made. So, hope is not unwarranted.

Me - I did post a blog yesterday about the emerging second wave in the USA, which likely is due in part to both a rush to re-open and lack of social distancing during protesting and police actions to such.

Yes, and have chosen a dosage size for the final much larger trial.

RE: Mosquito season has arrived in the USA

The Emerging Second Wave of Covid-19 - 3 pockets rise in cases

S - Both should be allowed as long as social distancing and mask wearing are maintained.

CW - True. Some have been distracted, while others have urged "taking an eye off the ball".

CC - diversity is a good thing. It brings a variety of ideas and accomplishments. While that's more to be sorted, it's more remedies to be considered and thus more appropriate solutions available. The problem is when closed-minded people do not consider another idea and chastise and/or take other inappropriate actions against those who appear different for that 'reason'. One of the reasons that the US has been a world leader (until Trump) has been that diversity.

c_r - So, in your opinion there has only been one black man unjustly killed by police ?

Like you, I suspect that both protesters & police they encountered & interacted with likely added to the Covid-19 problem, but too hasty re-opening
also likely added to it. However, note that NY & NJ, former hotbeds for Covid-19 are dropping in cases. They too had & have very active protests, as did a lot of the nation. Nonetheless, hopefully infection tracing will reveal data giving a better handle on actual sources.

You may also notice that Texas & Florida are not cold weather states at this time (nor is most of California). Quite the contrary.
Thus, we can rule out the previous false claim by the "so-called" president, that it would be gone with the warmer weather (in April).

RE: Free software... and the problems they bring.

Sometimes "the best things in life are free".

Open Office, Acrobat Reader, Firefox, and CCleaner are all excellent and free.
No complaints about that from me.

Chat, I now use CCleaner every time before I shut down.

RE: Riot for the wrong reason... ?

So, what's your point, that he deserved to be killed by that cop's knee ?

I'd prefer not to see more of Jenny.

RE: Riot for the wrong reason... ?

LL - Hopefully, that situation will greatly improve. There is some effort to do so.
There needs to be follow through.

RE: Riot for the wrong reason... ?

CW - From the article I posted

He was a cowoker of Floyd's at the club they worked at.

RE: Hey June ... a lockdown parody. A moment of lightening up.

Today the NFL admits that they were wrong and should have supported Kaepernick's protest

5 Days since I posted this blog. Lots of comments.
But, no conservative admitted they were wrong about CK's protest.
That's the way they 'roll'.

RE: Time to heal

Without a doubt both grammar schools & high schools have done so, as have families.
Upbringing is definitely contributory, as are who the child chooses are friends.
Some people continue to grow to experience and to learn. Others choose to remain relatively unchanged and some even regress.
And it's not as simple as all that. Obviously, different people grow to different extents
and in different directions as do those who regress.

As a real (too) simple example, that most people can appreciate.
Think how many people cite their favorite music as that which was popular from when they were in...i.e. high school.

I hope so too. But change rarely happens without much effort & time.
It may take a generation or more for society to improve significantly.
But, perhaps steps in that direction will be undertaken much sooner.

His reign should be near over. We will know in November. After which, he should be a 'lame duck'. Hopefully the motivation for improvement with the younger voter will remain long after the protests stop. Maybe it will and maybe it won't. One of my favorite quotes is that "change is inevitable, growth is possible". Growth is long overdue.

RE: Riot for the wrong reason... ?

The media didn't make the answers to the questions.
They just reported the answers.

Perhaps Maya did fire him. Perhaps Chauvin was the only one available who also somehow
got control of a police vehicle for years while not being on duty. :dunno
Perhaps more answers will come out in court.
The media was not the one who strangled Floyd. The media simply seeks answers and reports them
as they get them.

RE: Time to heal

Clearly, some have not, some refuse to, and some may even be incapable of doing so.
In any large population there is a broad range in the amount of intelligence that humans possess.
Every individual does not have the same ability, nor desire to learn.
