    Im not wholly opposed to non-career lawyers as Justices.  

    One of my major problems with the current batch of justices, and most of them during my lifetime is that they are all of a type.

    The Ronan Farrow suggestion is interesting.  He's very accomplished.  He's also hugely privileged.

    IDK.  I think that the track of highly academic lawyers that come from solid law schools, who clerk with good and experienced judges and who actually practice law with AV law firms is a damn good model for folks that are nominated into the judicial systems at all levels.  Importantly, the Supreme Court!

    This came up in another thread, but it's interesting to think about how much cash Tilman Fertitta is hemorrhaging on a daily basis. Casinos, cruises, restaurants, an NBA franchise in limbo, amusement parks (still open as of last night), hotels...he's like a one-man Las Vegas, and Vegas is not going to fare well. 

    No shit.  I'm so excited about all of the Morton's Steakhouse "to go deals" that he's been sending out emails about.  No thanks.  They are so screwed.

    So it is coming as something of a realization that I can actually do my job from home.

    Perhaps next summer, I'll just rent an apartment in Paris or Rome or Shanghai for a month.  Let the wife and kids go do their thing during the day and join them in the evenings/weekends.  

    I did that for 10 days in Kauai a few years ago.  I talked on the phone to clients and my partners and none of them had a clue that I was several time zones away.

    CDC advising no gatherings of over 50 people for 8 weeks, which would take us to mid-May. 

    I'll leave it to the reader to conclude if this NBA season will finish.

     

    So, women's soccer and basketball is good to go then?

    90% of the cases from China?  Please don’t post old ass shit.  This is either really old or you guys stole this doc from aggy.  

    As I said when the video was posted and acknowledged that it was now 2.5 weeks old, "OK, lets update some of the numbers.  Does anything he is saying about the virus sound any different than what folks are currently describing?"  

    I see nothing inconsistent between the video and the notes of the meeting (aside from the ridiculous and speculative estimate of 1.6 million American deaths.)

    There really aren’t any. And that video is 2 weeks old.

    Anyone have a recommendation for a succinct source of infection and death statistics in the US?

     

    I don’t want recommendations on hand washing, face touching, social distancing, Trumps failures, death pits in Iran, updates on bakery closures in Naples, South Korean strategy, ...

    There were around 5 people at Randall’s today. The meat and eggs were gone but they had most everything else 

    Same here.  Fresh red meat counter wiped out, but the fresh seafood counter was full. Sliced meats and cheeses were gone but plenty of other frozen meat, bacon and sausage.  Ain't nobody gonna starve.  Plus, they had toilet paper and large quantities of bottled water.  Who knew?
