Now he's heading to Water Reed. Probably just to get a head start on his next physical. Or it's a helluva speed bump on that whole rounding the curve thing.
Purely anecdotally I’d say there was a much higher uptake than normal for the flu vaccine amongst the elderly based on the actions of my parents and their friends. Young and middle aged I didn’t see any change.
Based on my undoubted expertise in the field, I’d say it’s a lot more to do with distancing, not touching your face, washing your hands A LOT and hand sanitizing before grabbing a shopping trolley

About 50% but it reaches near 100% in the most vulnerable groups as the vaccine is free for them via a government heath program.
Flu vaccine effectiveness varies between 30 and 60 %, eg a person who has been vaccinated is between 30 and 60% less likely to develop flu than one who has. The reduction in flu numbers for 2020 post March vs the lowest recent season shown above (2018) is about 98% so that is unlikely to be the cause.

I did a bike tour through Michigan a couple weeks ago. Any time we went through a town to resupply it was kind of stunning to see the signs telling people about the mask mandate, but also that if you had a "medical condition" you were exempt from it, and they weren't going to ask what your medical condition was.
It's staggering how ignorant people are of how society actually functions with regard to rights and freedoms.
Owners of private property also have rights.
If it wasn't so tragic, it would be funny that she thinks treating everyone the same, requiring a mask, is "discrimination".
She was kinda correct about that last part though.. "it is my right as a living woman to do whatever I want". lol.

The thing that kills me is she filmed herself doing this.
See you next Tuesday.

Had a late afternoon bicycle ride which took me past the kerfuffle in front of Walter Reed Hospital. Honestly, I've attended nearly every version of protest in DC from Promise Keepers to Million Man to Million Woman. This protest (?) had a confusing message. Gotta say the loud country muzak they were playing while waving MAGA signage was catchy. Not sure what the message they were trying to convey. Heck, if I was advising that bunch I'd have handed out lots of candles and hot tea. Isn't that how you confer a somber respect for wellness????
The above (snark) is the opinion of this writer alone is in no way reflective of the tone and tenor which is Vsalon LLC.

The best part for me is the news outlets, granted I mostly listen to leftist NPR while rolling, refer to That Guy as obese.. they keep making sure we understand the risk factors for him are his age and his obesity.. I have heard the term obese more in the past 24 hours than in the past year. You know that shit drive this fella nuts..
So healthy, the best health..

He's also poor. Don't forget that. The trifecta of risk factors. Some would call them pre-existing conditions.
And my friend, NPR is not leftist. You may have been saying that tongue in cheek, and forgive me if I whooshed it, but go read some TruthDig, Jacobin, TheBaffler, etc. - even CommonDreams - or DemocracyNow. NPR is just basic polite media for the mild-mannered masses.

The wheel is round. The hill lasts as long as it lasts. That's a fact. Everything else is pure theory.
The City of Madison (aka Berkeley of the Midwest, the People's Republic, 70 square miles surrounded by reality, etc.) had an initiative called Democracy in the Parks, where officials from the City Clerk's office would collect filled-out mail-in ballots from most of the parks in Madison over two Saturdays. Someone (and by someone, I mean cynical GOP operatives) sent cease-and-desist letters to the City Clerk's office, giving the pretense that ballots collected may be invalidated.
We were originally planning on dropping off my wife's ballot at a park literally less than 0.25 miles from where we live, but this "legal challenge" effectively stopped us from doing so. No matter, I'll drop off her ballot via another means that isn't being legally challenged, and I'll still show up to vote in person on election day, crawling over if necessary.
According to Nate Silver / fivethirtyeight.com Missouri, where I live, is a pink state where Trump is forecast to win by 10% points. Nevertheless, unless I am deathly ill, I will vote in person on Nov. 3 and proudly cast a ballot for Joe Biden.
