I was thinking that the problem was the girl's Purell's gone.I was thinking Girls gone puerile.
I haven’t watched it (and don’t plan to) but a friend shared an article on Facebook after the show released. Apparently in one of the episodes the characters take a ferry from the Outer Banks to Chapel Hill? I got a good chuckle out of that.It sounds like an episode of Outer Banks on Netflix that I watched in desperation thinking the scenery would at least be nice escapism. Turns out it is filmed in Charleston.
I miss the outdoor summer concerts and musical festivals the most. In Asheville some bands are having shows with fans in their cars or on tailgates drive-in style.
The Republican legislature slashed incentives for film/tv production. Wilmington was a hot spot. Too many people in the industry are liberal and thus vote Democratic.Outer Banks was only filmed in Charleston because of the film industry's response to North Carolina's HB2 bill. Well that and Charleston has become a small hot spot for production itself (all of Danny McBride's recent projects were filmed here, along with several other projects).
North Carolina is usually 10x more progressive than South Carolina in many aspects so I thought it was kind of weird to move it from there to here of all places if your primary concern is social justice but what do I know
I am also a John, have not watched Outer Banks, and now I don’t want to watch it. I do love to visit them though. Ocracoke Island is one of my favorite places I’ve been.I watched Outer Banks. That’s how bad my tv watching got. I watched that and “The Core”. That’s really bad. Even worse when you take into account I’d actually already watched that movie when it came out in the first place. I knew it was awful and I watched again anyways.
With Outer Banks, having even his best friends and authority figures calling him “John B” instead of just “John” at least occasionally made me want to hit them with hammers. There’s no other John’s in the room, there’s no need to clarify which John you’re referring to.If this is a southern thing and I’ve offended I apologize for my northeastern ignorance.
I’m a John. If it helps understand my confusion.
The second thing is that SARS-CoV-2 infection isn't necessarily producing a robust immunity. We don't really know what levels of neutralizing antibodies are actually protective, but it's clear that a lot of people don't produce many of them after an infection. Which means any plans for generating herd immunity by allowing a controlled level of infection have to be viewed with extreme skepticism at this point. And vaccine developers will need to ensure that the infections produce a consistently high-level response that includes neutralizing antibodies.

Preliminary, but seems to indicate that infections produce a wildly varying level of later protection that may correlate with severity of symptoms. Pretty much blows the idea of allowing a naturally acquired herd immunity to develop as a solution.....Sweden.
Some good info below on variance in immune response to covid-19...you can look in the show notes for links to particular topics of interest.
Solid reference.

Our press is making a thing of Trump's camp wanting a legal release from the registered goers to the campaign rallies to not sue the campaign if they get the coronavirus there... Am I wrong if I assume that this is a normal fare and standard policy and contractual term in the US nowadays wherever there is a mass gathering being organized to take place? I have hard time seeing how someone's lawyer would not insist on covering their own asses by addressing the possibility of contracting the virus (and requiring the waiver) in the terms of a standardized contract terms.

But if he went and banned all gatherings and brought national guard to enforce it, that would be bad too.The actual issue here is that it's the height of narcissism to be having a rally with thousands of people in an enclosed space when professional sports teams aren't yet able to do that. The contract is just the cherry on the top of that bullshit sundae.
Hey, no one's saying it's illegal.But if he went and banned all gatherings and brought national guard to enforce it, that would be bad too.
Hey, no one's saying it's illegal.
It's perfectly legal to invite a bunch of people to your political rally in a pandemic time when other, more sensible organizations have decided that it would be unsafe and unwise to hold such gatherings.
It's perfectly legal to show your disregard of those people, your supporters, by packing them together in disregard of social distancing guidelines ("no empty seats!" he tweets) and forcing them to sign disclaimers shielding yourself from liability in case they get sick.
It's perfectly legal to say "hey, it's their choice." Because it is.
It's all perfectly "legal", because as the President well knows, everything is legal unless and until you get convicted or successfully sued for it. Stiffing contractors by the thousands. Starting a fake university to scam people out of their money. Running a charity as a slush fund. Telling tens of thousands of obvious lies, as the President of the most powerful nation on Earth, to dilute even the notion of truth itself.
Despicable, but "legal". Roy Cohn would be proud.
