“in the very least in the interest of the science, order anyone who isn't vaccinated into quarantine,”
We need camps. Lots of camps for those who won’t comply.

It’s interesting that an opinion that the risk and reward of an experimental medicine should be evaluated, based on scientific data, should be condemned as anti-science. Bureaucrats, like Fauci, are demanding that everyone get the vaccine even though most data shows that young people, and those previously infected, don’t need it. That sounds pretty anti-science to me.

The quality of BSC dancers has dropped a point, or two, from before the Wuhan flu. At least during days. It used to be a clear 7 up club. Not lately.

The size of the club would also factor in. Some cities tend to have small clubs. In others, like Vegas, only the big clubs survive.

With Sweden, it was always a choice between taking some deaths early on, then quickly realizing herd immunity, or locking down and spreading the deaths over a much longer period with devastating economic and societal harm.
Of course there was doubt about the chosen approach early on. Now, the wisdom of the choice is clear.

Incidentally, the biggest gap in vaccination rates is in the urban African American communities. The media would like you to think it’s a group of knuckle-dragging Trump supporters who are refusing the vaccine. It’s not.

For those of you minimizing the long term risk of new medicines, Google thalidomide. It could be 10 years before we truly know if the CoVid vaccines gave serious long term side effects.

So tell me Mark have you gotten the Covid vaccination ?
Of course. As soon as I was eligible. I’m an old fart.
If I was 25, I’d still be waiting.
Risk/reward analysis.

For someone who is older, or has a chronic illness, CoVid is a very real threat. The vast majority of these people are now vaccinated. That’s a smart choice.
For a healthy young person, CoVid risk is in the struck-by-lightning statistical neighborhood. There is a greater chance of succumbing to a reaction to the experimental vaccine than dying from CoVid. Statistically, choosing to not be vaccinated is the wise decision.
Don’t force 12 year olds to get an experimental drug to ( in theory ) reduce the already low risk of their vaccinated grandparents not only getting infected by CoVid, but dying from it. Once vaccinated, the risk of an older person getting CoVid is under 5% and the risk of dying is near zero.

The more important statistics are
1. Portion of over-65 vaccinated
2. Number of CoVid hospitalizations/deaths
Those numbers are optimistic.
Everyone is freaking out about a bump in infections, primarily among the young unvaccinated. Their chance of dying from CoVid is much lower than a pedestrian being shot and killed in Chicago on any given weekend.

The first polio vaccines were developed in 1935. In the 1940s, vaccine trials were held and caused death and infection for many trial participants. It wasn’t until 1955 that a safe version of the polio vaccine was distributed. It took 20 years of research to develop a safe vaccine.
Now, we are being told we are fools for hesitating to inject ourselves with an experimental vaccine following one year of development and testing.

Remember Sweden ? They didn’t do lockdowns and were ridiculed by all the “experts”
“Sweden’s laissez-faire approach to the pandemic continues today. In contrast to its European neighbors, Sweden is welcoming tourists. Businesses and schools are open with almost no restrictions. And as far as masks are concerned, not only is there no mandate in place, Swedish health officials are not even recommending them.
What are the results of Sweden’s much-derided laissez-faire policy? Data show the 7-day rolling average for COVID deaths yesterday was zero (see below). As in nada. And it’s been at zero for about a week now.”

Happened to me many years ago. I was drinking beer but blacked out for most of the night and was completely blind when I woke up the next morning. I mean, pitch black with my eyes open.
We were the wrong kind of people on the wrong side of town and someone sent us a message. That’s my best guess.
Since then, I don’t leave my drinks unattended.

My favorite has always had certain lines she wouldn’t cross. During the pandemic, she seems to have separated from her husband and is now open to all sorts of fun. A nice surprise.

I’m someone who prefers seeing my regulars. They seem to have stopped stripping. Only one of my many regulars has reappeared post pandemic and I haven’t even seen her for a few weeks.
At some point, I might start restocking my pool of regulars but, for now, I’m taking a break.

The stoic philosophy makes a lot of sense to me, especially as I age. Lead a virtuous life. Find purpose in your duties and perform them well. Focus your energies on things you can control ( which is a surprisingly small set of things ). Don’t waste effort worrying about things outside your control.

From a value standpoint, it usually makes sense to buy an entry level trim rather than loading a vehicle with all sorts of doo-dads that will need fixing in a few years. A $35,000 Bronco is good value. An $80,000 Bronco, not so much.

The AZ Senate President got an update from auditors today in a public hearing. I’d say the main headline is Maricopa County is still withholding lots of needed info despite the subpoena.The other headline is:
“AZ Audit Finds 74,000 Ballots Returned and Counted in 2020 Election with NO RECORD of Being Sent Out!”
That’s right, 74,000 votes were counted with no record a ballot was ever sent out associated with these votes.

The last two visits, there was only 1 or 2 dancers who I was interested in and I couldn’t get a dance from either. Once you eliminate the Cubans and the Chubbos, there isn’t much to choose from. I’ll probably take a break from the HL for a while.
