Information and advice from one of the first molecular virologists in the world to work on coronaviruses

A friend of mine shared this with me, and I want to pass it along, because I found it to be informative and more explicit than other guidance pieces I've seen. Add it to all the other info you're gathering; I hope it helps answer a few lingering questions. James Robb, MD UC San Diego, is a virologist who’s worked with this virus for almost 50 years. Here's one of his early descriptions of coronaviruses, and here's a book chapter he wrote for “Comprehensive Virology.” From what I understand, this was first published on Facebook: Below is a detailed description [...]

Christie Is Getting Moon-walked Back to Genuine Jersey Scandal

He knew! So the rats are squealing under oath as they jump ship for greener grass than Trump World. [Rumor has it Pizza Rat led the charge.] Aaaw … a new Bridget Kelly update re the gubernatorial hi-jinks of Krispier and Krispier Chris Christie. A refreshing change from T'Rump's latest loafer-in-mouth moment. For sassy prior updates at Laffys Place transfer here. From the dedicated Bergen Record: Kelly, a former deputy chief of staff for Governor Christie, spent the past two days on the witness stand, casting herself as a bit player in the administration — who made $140,000 a [...]

Nasty Women GOT Us the Vote

Geeking out over Elizabeth Warren again. Plus the Senator knows how to lay out the truth in a Mark Twainish manner. Everything to love. From the New York Times. Senator Elizabeth Warren Tells Trump: ‘Nasty Women Vote’ By MATT FLEGENHEIMER In introducing Hillary Clinton, the senator said, “We nasty women are going to march our nasty feet to cast our nasty votes” against Donald Trump. 'Well behaved women rarely make history' is one of the all-time shining common wisdom phrases that culturally scored and stuck. Every time I see some prime Warren barnstorming on the [...]

Krispee Christy Coming To A Federal Pen Near You? #BridgetGate

Bridget didn't have him at hello. Ironically, she and her old-school evidence may finally usher the big boy to a long goodbye. Friday was such a busy day, what with debate and Al Smith Dinner 'moo doo' to shovel, but good old disappearing-act Chris Christie took a knee from famed lane changing engineer from Jersey, Bridget Anne Kelly, in her juicy testimony. More to come from testimony on Monday. Surely good Catholic boys and girls aren't stretching the truth around the block to meet itself again at the Confessional? Someone is sinning daily here, because Ms. Kelly [...]

Let the Hordes of Damning Women Gun Their ‘J’accuse’ Engines #PawedByTrump

A reverse witch-hunt, as it were, has finally gotten enough participants and personal courage to commence. With any well deserved luck, women groped or worse by Donald J. Trump will have their turn at sharing their #NotOkay "shame" in the political public square. I think we may be ready for a woman's revolution of the sort since bra bonfires were regularly planning cabals. Vice President Biden can take the wheel for a moment here, his appearance on Seth Meyers last night was somehow soothing in much needed ways. Groping is clearly and appropriately a BFD to Joe. .

The Absolution of American Rape Culture #NotOkay

Women have their own locker rooms. Especially since Title IX, of course we did have to demonstrate and work like Alaskan sled dogs for the opportunity to gain and semi-safely use them. I'm sure that on occasion, a comment about an über-gropey guy or the attentions of an arrogant male professional athlete have arisen in a slow or emotionally heavy ladies' locker room moment. But nothing could compare to the #NotOkay call-and-response that followed Trump's heinous self-exposure in a tsunami of raw pain and pure, desperate need for change. The backlash of Donald Trump's Access Hollywood revelations opened more than [...]

Pence Triples Down On Serially Enabling The Dark Donald

. We may fiercely disagree with virtually every damnable thing uttered by conservative Bret Stephens of the Wall Street Journal, in 'normal' times, but he brings a superb analysis of the peculiar Pastor Mike Pence and other obsequious hangers-on camping in the rarified stench of Trump World. . The Puritan Pence is now weighted down with more consternation and outright in- "party" charges as a result ... Stephens baldly named the obsequious governor's human swamp of a running mate thoroughly out of control; and asserts that the alt-right Indianan shotgun rider is a Political Enabler. . Even a Moral Enabler. . Go [...]

Voter Oppression From Sea to Storming Sea

Monte Wolverton, Cagle Cartoons. Giants like The Nation and The Atlantic (who just bestowed their first presidential endorsement since Lincoln), find themselves flooded with anecdotal cases of Voter Oppression. Or, as I prefer to call it, identifying fraud committed ON the American voter in the name of justice. We all know that white, male, American-since-conception and of possibly xenophobic natures have gleefully depressed and repressed the minority and female vote in this country. We don't even have a Boadicea, a Queen Elizabeth I, a Catherine the Great or even a Maggie Thatcher or Angela Merkel to give [...]

Why Pastor Pence Is As Politically Alarming as La Palin

Kevin Siers, The Charlotte Observer via AAEC The only dark duo with a shot of historically rivaling the political infamy of ole' Bomb Bomb McCain/Barracuda Sarah Palin is now the bad cast in this torturous national Reality Show, election 2016. Pence/Trump are now officially horror story actors. We refuse to admit that Conservative athlete Mike Pence 'won' the Veep debate Tuesday night. But man oh creepy creepy man, do not take his GOPper cred and misogyny lightly. It's only going to amplify in the coming final weeks before polling day, boasting mega vituperative nonsense and an ocean [...]

Same Problem Different Century, Women Still ‘Less-Than’ in the Patriarchal GOP

Just when we think Trump and his spinners couldn't do more to repel women voters of any party … or none … the Great Swamp GOP machine produces more Odious Donald Ick to wade through. . Wear your best Orvis waders for this one. In fact, get three pairs on eBay and simply go single-use on this level of poli-nuclear waste. The Grand Old Party of white men has gone full-on retrograde, and the stink and spillage are spectacularly smellier than Seinfeld's hyper-strong B.O. in his Saab. . . Like the Seinfeldian B.O., it ain't easy to dispel and [...]
