So you are never coming out again?  Because to date, we have never made a vaccine that works for a SARS type virus.

If there was anything worth seeing, sure no problem.

Most rich people don’t need to tell you how they got their money.  It’s obvious.  Most are business owners over 60.   It’s no big secret, that’s why they don’t have to tell you.  You know where Gates, Buffett, Bezos, Musk, ect got their money, it’s right in front of you.

I refer to humans as monkeys regularly. Because we essentially are. *shrug*

Maybe. I have worked in healthcare for 20 years. I have been through SARS, MERS, H1n1, H2N3 as well as half a dozen other minor infections. I may simply be less emotional about all of this since it’s old hat for me. *shrug*

The American passport, once a ticket to so many parts of the world, is about to become a liability.

After months of staying indoors, standing six feet apart at grocery stores, and wearing masks everywhere, life amidst a plague is what feels normal now.

I agree, defund all the police departments in major cites...except mine.  BLM!

You don’t want to end up in a situation where folks in poorer areas feel like their homes and stores are not secure, while richer areas just hire private security guards and neighborhood watch patrols out of gated-community-style fees. There’s a risk of that happening with a major replacement of police and the budget…
