It isn’t the travelling international part that I find remotely hinky. Sadly, people get trafficked that way all the time. It’s the taking her back home. The “expected” outcome is she becomes a permanent member of a brothel somewhere, is locked in some hidden basement as a personal sex slave, killed once the guy gets…

Studies indicate that black patients are far less likely than white patients to be uninsured

I think the problem with believing her is the whole, “and then trafficked to a foreign country, where she was raped before the assailant brought her back home”

You don’t know if you don’t ask. And at least trying to follow the rules makes you FAR more sympathetic to the public when you ignore them when they say no.

The nurse in question is currently working from home. She’s not going to get exposed there. If and or when her expectation of returning to work at the hospital comes true, presumably she will have enough time then to pick up the R.V. before doing so.*

While I largely agree with you, I’d also point out...

Unfortunately, that’s travel, not infections.

Or, it could mean that black folk tend to live in higher density urban settings, and are thus at far greater risk of infection than the rural/suburbanite.

Without a vaccine there’s no means of resolving the current crisis. Especially not in regions that didn’t take strong measures to test and isolate.

No, the IG RV trip is a stupid idea, (if it’s what it sounds like) because they are going to have to keep stopping in different places for food, gas, sewage, electricity, etc. And thus coming into contact with far more different people than if they stayed in place. Their risk goes way up. (and marginally increases…

In some defense, it *is* suddenly all over the news that, OMG, new studies are showing Covid-19 can be transmitted by breathing or speaking...

Counterpoint:

I’m fully aware that most of those here are against the rollbacks just on general principle, so I’ve really got to wonder if Covid-19 is/will be an issue as is claimed, or if it’s just an irrelevant scaremongering tactic.

To be fair, Little Archie is a U.S. citizen, as is his mother. (She never did reside in Britain long enough to become a citizen there, and now that seems unlikely) Heck, Little Archie could conceivably be president... and king of England. (He’s what, 7th in line?) It’s only Harry that has to deal with immigration.

1. Unlikely, reads like his bonus was a fixed amount given at the start of the project, (the 12 million) He was paid for getting the contract, not for making the game. (Which perhaps makes sense? Doubt he had all that much to do with the actual production.)

Seems somewhat patronizing to say the employees, who actually had to implement the engine change, wouldn’t be aware of how doing so would affect the timeline, and thus the cost.

The $95/$140 million million also probably doesn’t include the cut the console manufacturers get.

Well, according to them, anyways. But yeah.

In another situation, a woman wants to create life based on her own genes, to fill a role she wants for herself. Or perhaps, she has been conditioned all her life to believe that being a biological mother is the only way for her to have meaning in society, and it isn’t easy to find purpose outside of that. Adopting…
