How the lock downs are in the tradition of Civil War surgeons.
[Late-afternoon update]
Sorry! The missing link has been found.
Loverro
Wow.
Wonder what that’s about?
Hope this doesn’t affect the launch schedule. He was supposed to chair it, I think.

Here is the story from Chris Davenport.

And the one from Jackie Feldscher.

And Eric Berger’s.
[Wednesday-morning update]
Here’s Eric’s latest take. If Loverro really believed that the only way to do 2024 was with Boeing and SLS, he was in the wrong job.

The Shokin Firing
Well, well, well. It turns out that Poroshenko had no evidence of corruption, but Biden forced him to fire Shokin anyway.
Susan Rice
She was trying to protect Obama, and blame Comey.
It will be interesting to watch these rats turn on each other when the indictments start coming in.

More from Powerline.
Madness Of Crowds
The Midland Flood
Wow.
I’ve driven through that area countless times on the way up to our cabin at Houghton Lake (we always considered Lake Sanford the half-way point from Flint), but I’ve never actually been in downtown Midland. I hadn’t realized the lake was artificial, dammed by the Tittabawassee. I wonder if this will affect Dow Chemical (the major industry of the town)?
Understanding The Virus
A new algorithm may reveal who is susceptible, and for whom vaccines may not be effective. What we’ve been lacking all this time is this kind of knowledge.
Troll Level, Galaxy Class
Trump should pardon Barack Obama.
Sidney Powell Strikes Back
She’s filed a writ of mandamus against Sullivan’s nonsense.
It’s About Time
If this is true, it means that all restrictions about being outside are counterproductive, in that people aren’t getting enough vitamin D, which is apparently prophylactic. You know, like Adolf Whitmer’s dictate that you can be in a boat as long as it doesn’t have a motor, or being able to surf but not swim. It probably also means that sporting events are safe if not in enclosed environments. If it takes more than two hours or so, movie theaters are probably OK as well, and so are restaurants.
The cases of prolonged exposure we’re seeing are nursing homes (thanks, Andy and governor of Pennsylvania!) and factories, particularly meat packing, where people are at close quarters for long periods of time.

This also explains high rates of infection aboard naval vessels, but because sailors tend to be young and healthy, also why most haven’t gotten sick. It also means that it was dumb of NASA to restrict viewing at the Cape of the upcoming crew launch next week. It’s probably perfectly safe to gather on the beaches and causeway.
