"The Trump administration bailed out prominent anti-vaccine groups during a pandemic" -- (link) - prayformojo Jan 18, 07:22 8

  - I was wondering. It’s WaPo so I can’t read the article. -- nm - Mop Jan 18, 08:47

    - It’s a simplistic take, intended to provoke rather than inform. I agree with spamlet. -- nm - znufrii Jan 18, 08:30 4

- Wow. Indiana (both red and blue counties), you see about 95% mask wearing. -- nm - Spawn Jan 18, 08:17
- GA was like that.. no masks, my partner got called a "Karen" for wearing a mask inside of a store. VA isn't too bad. Glad NYC is still masked up. -- nm - colin Jan 18, 07:09 1
  - Northern VA is pretty good. I'm sure there's a dropout as you move south and west. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 07:19

- To not allow them? Good idea! -- nm - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 18, 05:21 3
  - yeah sorry, thats not what I meant. like I responded to above, make more penalties when its a QB that gets one. cause $$$$$ -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 18, 08:54
  - If they banned concussion detection, there would be no concussions, Krusty. -- nm - Mop Jan 18, 08:52

I'm seeing criticism of Joe Buck on twitter but it's mostly "he's terrible." Is there an objective way to describe why he's terrible? - Max Jan 18, 00:19 7
- Inane, wouldn't know a big moment if it came with fireworks and a band. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 05:01 3

  - Good luck!! the hoops and randomness of getting the vaccine is maddening. I don't know how elderly people with no family manage it -- nm - Pippy Jan 18, 06:53 1
    - Online would be impossible for them but there's a phone number they can call. Not sure if it works well. -- nm - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 18, 07:43
- California has an option that says "no insurance ", maybe they have a similar option -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 17, 23:57 1
  - They do but that would be a lie and if you have insurance they bill it for an administration fee which I'm good with. I'll get a copy today somehow -- nm - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 18, 05:19
- Here's a simple video that she could watch and use (if she has an iPhone)--turning on closed captioning, on the video, will help - Flavorize Jan 17, 22:46 [youtube] 3
  - I appreciate the help. Her use of her iphone is just as a phone. She's 85 and just can't grasp using it for anything else. -- (edited) - Krusty Jan 17, 22:51 2
    - Dialysis units here should be getting it within the next 1-2 weeks I hear. Very difficult for private practices to get it. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 17, 23:59 1
