From that Reuters article:
• Florida’s daily increases in cases have already surpassed the highest daily tally reported by any European country during the height of the pandemic there. It has also broken New York state’s record of 12,847 new cases …
Even now, after all of this, there are still many Republican government officials at the state level who are still in total denial- even to the point of refusing permission for local mayors to require masks. No masks! Freedom! If people die it's God…
@MikeM2- We don't see it used much on MFO but it was very common on Fund Alarm, the predecessor site: "NTIP" in the headline. Means "No text in post", for situations where that's the case. We were just having a bit of fun with you- not to worry... …
From a current NPR article: "In an interview this month with ABC News, Attorney General William Barr called Stone's prosecution "righteous" and said the sentence handed down was "fair."
I guess Trump doesn't see it that way.
A significant amount of time is wasted on this forum because one individual frequently posts what amounts to misleading crap. This garbage then requires the time of others to analyze and document that it is basically "fake news", to use a favorite c…
Maybe he thinks that if he loses the election he can just declare bankruptcy again, and then keep going as president. He probably didn't bother to read the briefing paper that told him that he can't do that.
Regarding the current situation in Sweden, here are some excerpts from a current article in the New York Times (subscription required):
LONDON — Ever since the coronavirus emerged in Europe, Sweden has captured international attention by conducting…
@BenWP- for a quick second there I thought that you were referring to the current White House, but then I saw that the spelling was a little different. :)
Thanks for that info @royal4. I've been very curious as to how that experiment would pan out, but haven't seen much press coverage. "Herd Immunity" via doing nothing doesn't sound very promising. I suppose eventually it might work, but the herd woul…
Not much in that article that I don't agree with.
There's all of the nagging little details regarding recovery, you know? Like how does a city such as San Francisco even transport anything close to the normal number of people to work? Usually the c…
Hold on a minute! It's simply not true that the "president" did nothing about the Russian effort to do harm to American troops. Why, just the other day he proposed inviting Putin to join the G7 in privileged economic meetings.
Wait... wait... let m…
John Roberts and the Supreme Court, not noted for being stupid, might well hem, haw, and generally delay consideration until after the election, hoping that a new administration will withdraw the entire matter.

@msf: Let me clarify on that- I also don't recall any particular postings here regarding that aspect- was likely just dinner conversations with my wife.
From that article: a summary of some of the problems, possibly catastrophic, caused by COVID-19:
• It goes after the pancreas.
• It goes after the heart.
• It goes after the liver, the brain, the kidney and other organs.
• blood clotting disorde…
California may soon need to be added to that list. Short of roadblocks on every highway crossing a NY state border how on earth would you ever enforce that? And even with such roadblocks all someone need say is "I'm coming from Nebraska". Sounds lik…
lemme see now... if I live in a crummy neighborhood with low property values then the property tax collected for my local school district will also be,,, h'mmm... low and crummy?
Well, during the civil war period the "bad guys" were the Southern Democrats, and the "good guys" were the Northern Republicans. Needless to say, things are somewhat different now. I wonder what Lincoln would think of the present bunch.
