Not disagreeing with you.

I think that deal was for seats in the lower bowl.

Appreciate the effort, but it's not worth it.

It's HEAT MISER!!

Very interesting info on their financial situation. Bankrupt Sooners?

15+ million dead. And that twisted old douchebager is still doing talk shows. Yeah, I trust the science, all right. Meanwhile, there's this today: "My prepared remarks will take about seven minutes. A more detailed set of remarks has been provided to be entered into the record. My approach to the origin of the COVID pandemic that killed 15+ million people worldwide, caused over 20 trillion dollars in economic damage, and changed the world forever is based on six approaches to the data and the events. Before I start, I want to note something Dr. Garry said privately: “Someone should tell Nature (meaning the British journal) that the fish market probably did not start the outbreak.” While it would be easy for me to just agree with Dr. Garry and call it a day, I am a scientist and so will provide my independent analysis. I will describe the six approaches at a high level and then go into each one in detail... First, the virus was spreading in Wuhan in the early fall of 2019, two to four months before the first case in the Hunan Seafood Market. This is supported by fourteen observations or evidence. This should be sufficient to dismiss the Hunan Market as the source of the outbreak. Second, I look at the data from the market, including human infections, animal samples, and environmental specimens. This involves looking at eight observations or evidence. None of these data are consistent with an infected animal passing SARS2 to a human at the market. Third, documented events at or related to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, or WIV, beginning in March 2019, are consistent with the expected activities of a virology lab in which a laboratory- acquired infection has occurred. I will go through that timeline. Fourth, the evidence that is found in a natural zoonosis with respect to the animal host, the virus, and the human population in the vicinity of the outbreak is missing for the COVID pandemic. Each of these three components of a zoonosis will be examined separately and each will be found wanting. Fifth, the genome of SARS-CoV-2 has seven features that would be expected to be found in a virus constructed in a laboratory and which are not found in viruses from nature. The statistical probability of finding each feature in nature can be determined and the combined probability that SARS2 came from nature is less than one in 1.2 billion. These same features were described in a grant application submitted to DARPA in 2018 by scientists from the WIV, together with US collaborators. Sixth and final, the earliest genomes of SARS2 were unstable and could not have come from an animal host without the stabilizing mutation, the so-called D614G change, that appeared in human viruses beginning January 1st , 2020. The consequence of this is that I can conclude that the first human infection occurred soon after the insertion of the furin cleavage site in the laboratory and before extensive animal testing. Otherwise, the first human cases would have had this stabilizing mutation. It also means that the unstable version of SARS2 could not have been circulating in animals, otherwise it would have acquired the stabilizing mutation. If any virologist can find an animal host that can transmit the unstable ancestral SARS2 five or more times without obtaining the stabilizing mutation, they have found a hypothetical candidate for a spillover host. All testing to date of potential hosts has failed this test." Quay Testimony

So now we hate Dr. Phil?

Interesting article from the Daily Mail: 'There needs to be a quick and devastating take down'

Celtics in 6. Reverse jinx.

Not yet.

Until more people do this, things will remain the same. Not enough pain yet though.

To be clear--I agree. I believe it was accidental. To those who believe the Wet Market/Bat Bite/Delicious Wildlife Offal Theory--there's a big leap in logic required.

Occam's Razor has always applied in this debacle. There are some true crimes against humanity in this whole nightmare, but none of these criminals nor the CCP will be held accountable.

Pretty rich coming from him.

He's "cleaning" something. Briskly, it appears. But I don't think it's the bell.

I think you're right about them getting into those conferences. I think it will be sooner than later though.

Yes. It's good.

I guess I'm not understanding. What is "karma" about this? What did it "take care of"?

Are those the mustangs from Assateague? Looks like it. They're not really doing anything. I think the drone probably just scared them. Either that, or they're just frolicking. Exercising. This horse actually accomplished much more in less time:

Interesting article about washing your freaking hands, and how unique human hands are. Yeah, it's dorky. Don't Be Gross.

Retirement is a great thing, so I've heard. Congrats!

UMass AD seems to always be in a constant state of financial struggle. Not sure how this move will help them.
