Videos from several bars showed patrons enjoying a night out after more than a month of isolation — even though being in a crowded public place means risking exposure to the coronavirus. In one video, taken by a local TV station, a nurse is seen sitting with other people at a bar without a face mask on.

LINKWhy Weren’t We Ready for the Coronavirus? | The New Yorker
Ali Khan is now the dean of the College of Public Health at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, in Omaha. He seems an unlikely Omahan: born and raised in Brooklyn, by Pakistani immigrant parents, he went to Brooklyn College, followed by suny Downstate (in Brooklyn) for medical school.

LINKI usually ignore Trump's tweets. Not the George W. Bush one. - The Washington Post
By David Von Drehle Columnist May 5, 2020 at 3:21 p.m. CDT To preserve what passes for my mental health, I avoid as much as possible President Trump’s Twitter habits. Some theorize that his feed is a sort of cat toy that he dangles in front of the media to distract us from his agenda. Others study it as a map of one man’s disturbed and disturbing mind. Still others — including, I suspect, most Trump supporters — perceive it to be a sort of Andy Kaufmanesque performance art, ...

LINKWhat Will Be the Human Cost of Reopening the Economy? - TheHumanist.com
When the first of the COVID-19 shutdown-related protests broke out in Michigan, Virginia, and Minnesota last month, any other president would have urged Americans to comply with the stay-at-home orders instituted by states to flatten the coronavirus curve. But as we’ve all come to learn, President Donald Trump doesn’t merit such a reasonable expectation. Sure enough, it didn’t take him long to take to Twitter and incite insurrection against three duly elected Democratic governors, ...

LINKDr. Fauci Dismisses Wuhan Lab as Source of Coronavirus, Contradicting Trump and Pompeo
Dr. Fauci is honest and straight. I love it that he doesn't suck up to Drumpf. I'm also afraid he's going to get axed, and we desperately need intelligence close to the leadership of this nation.

LINKDon’t Freak Out About The Giant Hornet – Oregon Trail Sagas
Take a deep breath folks. // Calling this insect a “murder hornet,” a moniker that has come up seemingly overnight, is really inaccurate and unnecessary.// // The Washington State Department of Agriculture has already posted announcements warning people to stop killing random bees they see, thinking they are these giant hornets. Apparently people are killing bumblebees, which breaks my heart because they LOOK NOTHING LIKE A HORNET. If you think you see one, TAKE A PICTURE OR VIDEO and ...

LINKOpinion: She Predicted the Coronavirus. What Does She Foresee Next?
Full text: "I told Laurie Garrett that she might as well change her name to Cassandra. Everyone is calling her that anyway. She and I were Zooming — that’s a verb now, right? — and she pulled out a 2017 book, “Warnings: Finding Cassandras to Stop Catastrophes.” It notes that Garrett, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, was prescient not only about the impact of H.I.V. but also about the emergence and global spread of more contagious pathogens. “I’m a double Cassandra,” ...

January 13, 2021 My newest and smallest grandchild. She arrived 5 weeks early and is now 2.5 weeks old and is less than 7 pounds. I've never held such a small baby before. She is quite perfect and very amazing. I love being a Grammy.
