The article said it was not disclosed as to why the swabs were scrapped.

mcgeo52 comments on Jun 8, 2020:

There would only be two reasons to scrap the swabs. Either they failed QA or they were contaminated. I'm wiling to bet these swabs were scrapped before they wasted any time on them in QA. Not only have I worked in clean room environments, but I had some very interesting conversations with my father who was one of the leading experts on clean rooms for manufacturing microelectronics (at least three orders of magnitude more strict than an operating room). My best guess is that it took them almost a full day to get that room back to where they could resume production.

I never dreamed I would live to see the day that the President of NASCAR would stop the cars to call out the country on racism. Not only that, but it was broadcast live on Fox Sports. It's a small ray of hope, and right now I'll take what we can get.

It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being ...

mcgeo52 comments on Jun 5, 2020:

“Two Buffalo police officers were suspended without pay Thursday after a video showed authorities knocking down a 75-year-old man during a protest, Mayor Byron Brown said.” Authorities knocked him down? Authorities on what? How to be bad apples? Yes, there is a systemic problem in this country and it’s not just the cops.

Scary stuff. If you haven't read it, I would highly recommend *In the Garden of the Beasts* by Erick Larson. It is about the experiences of William Dodd and his daughter, Martha, when he was US Ambassador to Germany from mid 1933 to December 1938.

mcgeo52 comments on Jun 4, 2020:

Trump is just the symptom. Are they really serious about solving the problem? Are they ready to clean out the Republicans in the Senate who have enabled Trump? What about the ones in the House? Are they ready to take the licenses from Rupert Murdoch and remove his propaganda channel from the airwaves? Are they ready to reinstate the fairness doctrine that Reagan got rid of? Will they be willing to give up right wing talk radio? If they are serious, I'll be happy to work with them.

Trump can bluff, bluster, and bullshit all he wants. There is no Executive Order he can issue regarding social media that can be enforced. Apparently Donnie wasn’t paying attention in Civics class when they taught the First Amendment. The government cannot tell the owner of the press what they cannot or must publish.

mcgeo52 comments on May 29, 2020:

I remember the only two times that I am aware of when Uncle Walter made any kind of editorial comment. Both times he made it very clear that they were editorial statements. Many of you probably remember his February 27, 1968 comment about the war in Vietnam: “[I]t seems now more certain than ever that the bloody experience of Vietnam is to end in a stalemate . . . [I]t is increasingly clear to this reporter that the only rational way out then will be to negotiate, not as victors, but as an honorable people who lived up to their pledge to defend democracy, and did the best they could. This is Walter Cronkite. Good night.” The other one, that you probably don’t remember, but I doubt I will forget happened a year and a half earlier on August 1, 1966. Charles Whitman had taken a rifle to the top of the Tower at the University of Texas and shot and killed 14 people. I was very much aware of what had happened because my grandmother had called us in upstate NY from Austin and spent five minutes telling us about being at the lunch counter in Woolworth’s across the street fom the campus and hearing the shots. [For those who don’t remember, a five minute long distance phone call was a really big deal in the ‘60s.] That evening Walter Cronkite reported the story. Then he swung his chair 90 degrees, faced the other camera, loosened his tie, set down his pipe, and stated that what would follow was a personal comment. He then told about when he was the editor of The Daily Texan, the campus paper at UT, that he had written an editorial against building the Tower, and went on to say, I”m sorry it has come to this, but I told you so.” He then tightened his tie, picked up his pipe, swung his chair back around, and went on with the news. BTW, my father was a student at UT when Cronkite wrote that editorial and confirmed that the editorial said the administration would regret building the Tower.

Less of a dog whistle and more of a bull horn.
