In four days, it is back up to 625.

COVID-19 screening strategies that permit the safe re-opening of college campuses

Researchers at Yale School of Public Health, Mass General and Harvard have just completed a study predicting the rate and prevalence of COVID infection on a 5,000 person campus, given three different testing scenarios. Their conclusion (see lines 214-218) - With the testing of all students done every 7 days or less frequently, virtually 100% of students would be infected by the end of an 80 day semester.

NYT article today says the US Supreme Court has ruled that 2/3 of Oklahoma is an Indian Reservation.
...or something like that.

Just a bit late.

Scroll up, Bambi. There is a lengthy post discussing it as well as an image.

Thanks.
I'll view it with interest.
Missed it, too busy firing nukes back at China.

You might be obsessed with killing yourself but the rest of us are seeking solutions that fall short of nuclear holocaust.

Ever since he started posting here, Bambu has loved the concept of "firing nukes."

I think Dr. Freud would tell us it is on account of bambu's inferior and and non-functional... nuke.

“ people will do what they do”
Nancy Pelosi Endorses mob rule.

Ward objects to Nancy's taking the GOP position they apply to guns and mass shootings.

They’re pushing the “Mob” theme hard this cycle.

They’ll talk about ‘Looting, rioting, burning’ over images of rampaging black people.

Hypocrisy (or racism) is judging a demonstration by its most violent participants but refusing to judge the police force by its most violent members.

How many in the  Baltimore mob were not violent?
What s the comparison to the Minneapolis police department?

Yeah, given deaths will lag cases and hospitalizations by some time taking comfort in lowered death rates has always been a fool's hope. I suppose that is why kiid and Trump both seized on it.

Lord knows it would be great if the virus stopped being deadly, but it would also be great if Zoey Deschanel would dissolve that restraining order, but she won't for reasons I suspect it would be otiose to explain and it won't either.

Juan  Williams says Trump 'really came out on top' in Supreme Court ruling on tax documents

The key thing here for the president in the short term is that his taxes will not likely be out in public before the November election," Williams said.

NYT article today says the US Supreme Court has ruled that nearly half of Oklahoma is Indian Reservation.

"could reshape criminal justice in eastern Oklahoma by preventing state authorities from prosecuting Native Americans.

mrs bambu attended the Native American Pow Wow in Tucson.

There is an original painting of a
Native American girl in traditional dress on a stand on our dining room table.
Is that racist?

It has been ruled that my house was once owned by a black man

And now I must pay reparation

Anything to keep the peace - but nobody is painting the street in front of my house, dammit.

Well, that explains the bizarre unhinged tweet storm then!

Anyone else find it hilarious Trump does not understand how slash marks function mathematically or gramatically?

THUGS DID!!!

Watching footage of the day, you can see the energy grow darker and heavier. You can hear a man yell “you came to the wrong fucking town,” a woman scream “you’re supporting the goddamn niggers,” another man threaten to “break your fucking jaw, bitch.” You can see rifles and handguns and a literal bag full of baseball bats. You can see a woman in a pink sweatshirt repeatedly calling a Black woman the n-word. You can see people grabbing sign after sign from the pro-BLM demonstrators and ripping them to shreds. You can see a biker come up behind Nick Reardon and punch him directly in the skull. And you can see the police officers watching the encounter do nothing.

“People were screaming at us to go back where we came from,” Anwen Darcy, who attended the demonstration with her mom and sister, recalled. “But I was looking around, and I saw Mrs. Dennis, who’d been a teacher for 30 years. I saw my mom, who’d been on the PTA for years and served as the drama director. I saw the woman who ran all the prom fundraisers and a city councilman. The people yelling at us weren’t from here, because if they were, they would’ve known we were home.”


When Lois and Andrea first entered the scene, someone yanked Lois’s sign and tore it in half. She didn’t recognize that person, or any of the others pushing her around. But later, once she’d made it to the rest of the demonstrators, she looked across the street. Like everyone else, she saw people she knew. She got in a “stare down,” as her daughter later described, with one of her former colleagues.

“Lois, I cannot believe you’re here,” the other teacher yelled.

Andrea and her mom knew it was time to go. When they arrived home, Lois walked straight to the backyard to debrief with her husband and drink a glass of water. Andrea thought her mom would be mad at her. But Lois was resolute. “I wanted to be there,” she said. “I needed to be there.”

Lois Dennis needed to be there, she later told me, because when she was a kid, growing up 30 minutes away in Ripley, Ohio, she would spend her summers at the local pool. From that pool, she could see a nearby hillside. And on that hillside, silently watching the kids in the pool, were her Black classmates. The schools weren’t segregated. But private pools still could be. “I never questioned or asked why. That’s why I want to stand with Black Lives Matter — that sort of quiet racism, that’s accepted for so many years, and never questioned.”

So glad I'm not from that backwoods state.

This is what passes for police reform in shithole-eye-oh!!

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH)– The Ohio State Highway Patrol wants to cruise their way into victory in the American Association of State Trooper’s 2020 Best Looking Cruiser Contest.


OSHP is asking Ohioans to vote for their arresting cruiser, so they can reclaim the title of best looking one in America.

Priorities.
