One of the bright sides of this disaster is that we’re probably going to end up with prophylactics and cures for a broader range of viruses than just this one.
Thinking about writing a long Twitter thread or even (heaven forfend!) an essay on how "the science" is never unanimous, and that "follow the science," or "listen to the scientists," are stupid phrases, spoken only by people who have no comprehension of what science actually is.
Yes, it’s insane. We’ve weathered the weather pretty well. Sunday was miserable hot even at the beach; it hit the mid nineties in the middle of the afternoon, and it was too hot to work in the yard. Fortunately, sea breeze started to cool things down, and the temperature had dropped considerably by early evening. We haven’t had any problem sleeping. I’m hoping that the worst is over, but September is the worst month here. I vastly prefer winter in southern California.
