I pulled up to a red light behind this guy today...I couldn't help but think of the various emotional stages he went through in purchasing his 'Trump 2020 - Keep America Great' sticker to the point where he broke out a screwdriver to scrape Pence's name off of the sticker. Whenever I see a Trump sticker on a vehicle I make a point to look at the driver. 99/100 times, it's an overweight white guy with a beard. (and yeah, I've driven various red Mini Cooper's since 2010 and I love the little go-karts!)

I don't know what the solution is, but I'm sorry that you're in this situation and it sounds like your folks are lucky that they've got you advocating for them. It sucks that there has been so much abuse that doctors are over-compensating on the CYA and people who genuinely need these drugs are struggling to get them. Good luck!

Dumb indeed...most of us don't even have 7 semesters of physics education!

I've been following nation-wide stats pretty regularly and have been thinking about the drop in testing...I wonder how much it's directly related to the drop in cases: less people are feeling ill so they're less likely to go out and seek a test. I'm sure there are lots of factors, including weather as you say. Looks like we're largely getting all numbers down below the peak of the second wave, fingers crossed we keep trending in that direction.

Hi Jerry, Just to clarify, I only meant that as a crack at Perry and not a comment on the organization as a whole. On the Cruz thing, Trevor Noah said something along the lines of: When times are dark, and you only see one set of footprints in the sand....they're Ted Cruz's, 'cause he's in Cancun

Perry's got a point about keeping the Feds out...have you seen the type of dipshits they let run the Department of Energy?

What the fuck is the point you think you're trying to make here? I spent Monday and Tuesday night freezing my ass off, had great fun trying to find warm shelter for my wife's 80-year great old aunt who went the night in a 40 degree house before she gave up 'not wanting to be a bother' and called for help. We're much luckier than most in that the only casualty seems to be a 12-year old washing machine out in the garage. The Texan death toll will likely be in the dozens when the dust settles. The root cause is an infrastructure not able to keep up in the cold, with wind and solar accounting for a very small percentage of the lost capacity. A person has to jump through a whole lot of logical hoops to get to a point where your post makes any kind of fucking sense...Are we in this hypothetical Fox world where people are suggesting that we drop 100% of fossil fuels today? Were the TX blackouts caused entirely by frozen turbines and not gas/coal production facilities that couldn't handle the cold? Ken's got the right idea with putting you on the block list. I've wasted too much time reading your bullshit. With millions of people suffering right now, kudos for trying to twist this into some contorted attempt to score some political point while ignoring the facts that don't support your very weak argument.

As always, thank you Dr. for another of your insightful, well though out statements about COVID.

You still holding your breath for the Durham report?

NEVER!!!! ***sorry, lost a few $$$ at the casino last weekend and I'm still a tad bitter.

Thanks for the hint Ron!

I'd be asking for a PA to say what kind of birds it seems apparent you flock with, based on that statement.

Well....not intentionally

Ahh yes, we all remember the BLM protesters and their chants to hang Mike Pence

As Trevor Noah put it, Gohmert need his gun handy for hunting wabbits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louie_Gohmert#/media/File:Louie_Gohmert_official_photo_2.jpg

Now now Brent....no need to loose your shit over an extra letter here or there.

The hell with solitary, lock him in there with Eric!

In the far-right media landscape, BLM is a terrorist organization

No doubt it's often intentional...Head over to FoxNews.com anytime and look at the headlines. They're al about getting people riled up in as few words as possible

Wow, you have a quote from a REAL climate scientist. I guess you're drawn to that quote as it says they have to make 'simplified, dramatic statements'....I never knew you were a scientist Brent!

Just to be clear, are you comparing a couple of jackasses breaking windows at a Starbucks to an attempt to overthrow the government that left six people dead?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: you really don't seem to appreciate shades of grey.

I saw that quote blasted across the front page of FoxNews this morning...COVID in the US is raging like a wildfire right now. Massive wildfires take time (and organization/planning/execution!) to get under control....Fox's headline - and, presumably your post here - were painting Biden's quote as evidence a failure. I, for one, take it as a refreshing truthful assessment of the situation that we're dealing with. I firmly believe that the actions of his administration will accelerate getting this under control, but it's not going to happen overnight. We're currently looking at 3000+ deaths a day. Biden is acknowledging that this is likely to be the reality for a while. Would you prefer he suggested we grab the Clorox and the shot glasses and say that everything's fine?

Ken I'm sure it was an unintentional copy/paste error, but for the record I didn't say that. And to BH: don't worry, there are plenty of better arguments against you other than an auto-fill...that's just an example of the attention to detail you regularly exhibit here.

Damn auto makers kowtowing to Paris is what that is! We need to keep our combustion engines INTERNAL! Think of the people of Pittsburgh!
