Has it been here (at least in the Bay Area) a lot longer than we thought? I think it’s quite plausible that it was here in December, which in a sense is good news, because it probably means we already have a lot more herd immunity than we thought, and the fatality rate is much lower than earlier fears.

We are 100 times safer now than in early March. Hope this is right.
The Handshake
A eulogy.
I for one would not miss it. It has caused countless hours of lost productivity, and lives. We should have abandoned it decades ago.

…and pestilence.
This is why the coming election is so important.

Florida State dumps policies on bias, ‘offensive’ language, ‘demeaning’ behavior, ‘inappropriate’ email.
But Ole Miss still requires on-line students to complete ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ training.
Absurd.

They’d gotten too cocky; it lasted far too long.

Gun-Control Backfire
This is hilarious:
I was chatting with a friend of mine recently and the topic of gun sales came up. My friend’s father owns a gun range near me and she said he’s seen a huge amount of liberals coming in to purchase weapons in recent weeks.
How does he know they’re liberals?
“They’re shocked to discover they can’t just walk out of the store with a gun.”
We’ve all heard about gun sales skyrocketing recently, but I hadn’t considered some of the tangential effects of the phenomenon until I spoke to my friend. Not only are many liberals suddenly learning to love their Second Amendment rights, many of them are finding out that the gun control narrative in this country — as repeated loudly and often by Hollywood and the mainstream media — is a complete lie.
But they were told by all the smartest people how easy it was!
