Extensive but worthwhile thoughts from Derek Lowe.
Covid Life In LA
Our experience has been quite similar to Virginia Postrel’s, and we feel very fortunate. I can’t imagine how terrible it must be to be cramped in an apartment with too many people, or what a nightmare this has been for parents with children. I haven’t seen divorce statistics for the year, but I’m sure they must be record level.
RIP, Mary Ann
Dawn Wells was taken by Covid.
When it came to Gilligan’s Island, and WKRP, I was a Mary Ann and Bailey Quarters fan. I guess that Tina Louise is the only surviving cast member.
It’s not obvious that if she hadn’t died from Covid she wouldn’t have succumbed to flu. She apparently had been having heath issues.
The New Dietary Guidelines
They’re still terrible.
They’re still pushing grains, low-fat dairy and protein, and seed oils. And they still think that counting calories isn’t junk science. There is no science whatsoever to justify this.
Origins Of Life
A new theory that could have useful medical implications.
The “Relief” Bill
Why yes, our government is totally broken. Why do you ask?
We need a constitutional amendment to fix this sort of thing, but while you could probably get enough states on board, you’d never get two thirds of Congress to do it. It was a rare moment of agreement between AOC and Ted Cruz. I hope that Trump vetoes this abomination, and tells them to try again.
[Update Wednesday morning]
The “stimulus” bill stimulates Congress’s lust for power.
[Update a while later]
This bill is another demonstration that Congress is unfit to govern.
Growing Organs
…for human transplantation. Fortunately, I’m not currently in need of any, but faster, please.
Coffee
You need four cups a day for the health benefits? We’ve both quit for the past few months, but when I was drinking it, I could barely choke down two.
Kathy Shaidle
She and her husband need help. I’ve been reading her for going on two decades.
