  1. I've gotten pushback saying this, but I believe an insanely high percentage of kids in school have gotten it and had no idea. I can't imagine that a single kid that has gone to school the last two years hasn't been exposed multiple times.
  2. Sure seems like Omicron doesn't GAF. Vaccine mandate. Mask mandate. Probably the same or worse on other campuses that don't have surveillance testing. Wonder if sending everyone home is the right call as far as stopping the spread. I would say no. From the article: Cornell University reported 903 cases of Covid-19 among students between December 7-13, and a "very high percentage" of them are Omicron variant cases in fully vaccinated individuals, according to university officials The school has a mandatory vaccination policy for students, with exemptions for religious or medical issues. All unvaccinated students and many vaccinated students are required to take part in surveillance testing. Mask wearing indoors is compulsory. Employees must be vaccinated by January 18. Ninety-seven percent of people on campus are fully vaccinated, the university says on its website.
  3. Doesn’t matter in the quoted discussion. If our 3% chose to do it, the worldwide pandemic isn’t over.
  4. I guess I shouldn’t have said all. Most don’t even have any masking messaging. But back when it was widespread, I always saw wear it in, take it off when seated. I guess there are some places/states where you slide it down to take a bit/sip, then put it back up but I have not had that pleasure.
  5. I agree it’s dumb, but isn’t that the messaging at all bars and restaurants?
  6. About 3% of the world's unvaccinated live in our country.
  7. I do find it a little unbelievable that Logan wouldn't already know that the kids held a supermajority of the holding company through the divorce (or whatever the detail was). That's something you negotiate and never, ever forget. He wouldn't need Tom to tell him. But whatever, details...
  8. Same. I do not drink and drive. But I drink plenty. I've often wondered what I would do in certain situations. Like if I was out of town (i.e. 3 hour drive) for a wedding and someone was keeping my kids and an accident happened with one of them and I got the call during the reception. Or if I was drinking at home and an emergency situation happened.
  9. What did Tom need Greg for?
  10. A perfect example of people who don’t have real problems. They have too much free time and internet access. They have no purpose and search for meaning in life by convincing themselves this is their 1776.
  11. Without a doubt. Most in that group have no purpose and some think they are modern day revolutionaries.
  12. Us doing it? No, not funny in a comical sense. Someone voluntarily tweeting that? Funny in a strange sense. What an awkward tweet. Would you ever say anything like that from a personal or professional level?
  13. Who called it bad? Unfortunately it is necessary. It is obviously funny to tweet that we always pay our debts by taking on more debt.
  14. This. Things are so good that many people have no purpose in life. No important cause that needs to consume them. So they desperately search for their generation’s revolution, civil war, civil rights battle, etc.
  15. Someone actually wrote this.
  16. Simple. It was a big story when it “happened.” As in the most famous people in the world drawing attention to it. That’s when I learned who the guy was Only natural that it would still be a big story once the truth came out. I imagine if it was a minor story when it “happened”, it would’ve faded away even when the truth came out.
  17. A transgender swimmer on the University of Pennsylvania women’s team continued to smash records in the pool over the weekend. Lia Thomas won the 200-yard freestyle in 1:41.93 at the Zippy Invitational in Akron, Ohio, on Saturday to break the school’s all-time mark and establish the best time in the nation this season, according to the university. On Sunday, she won the 1,650 freestyle by more than 38 seconds in 15:59.71 to set another university record. Thomas, from Austin, Texas, could become NCAA Division 1 swimming’s first transgender All-American or national champion, Outsports reported. The championships are in March in Atlanta, and Thomas has established herself as a strong contender. Swimming is “a huge part of my life and who I am. I’ve been a swimmer since I was 5 years old,” she told Penn Today in June. “The process of coming out as being trans and continuing to swim was a lot of uncertainty and unknown around an area that’s usually really solid. Realizing I was trans threw that into question. Was I going to keep swimming? What did that look like?” Thomas, who’s competing as a senior after the Ivy League canceled the previous season due to the pandemic, added: “Being trans has not affected my ability to do this sport and being able to continue is very rewarding.”
  18. Trust the science.
  19. Fauci yesterday. I find it hard to believe things changed drastically in the last 24 hours. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/06/omicron-covid-variants-risk-profile-starts-to-emerge-with-early-data-.html “Clearly, in South Africa, omicron has a transmission advantage,” Fauci told CNN, adding that “although it’s too early to make any definitive statements about it, thus far it does not look like there’s a great degree of severity to it.” “But we’ve really got to be careful before we make any determinations that it is less severe, or really doesn’t cause any severe illness comparable to delta, but thus far the signals are a bit encouraging regarding the severity,” Fauci said.
