There are researchers at Penn tracking this as well. So far, none of the mutations seem dangerous for humans. But I agree with wastewater.

The election is in 4 months. Who are the candidates people have proposed replacing Biden with? Harris, Whitmer, Newsom, Moore -- who else? Is there polling to suggest how anyone (other than Harris) would do? Genuine questions because I haven't seen this anywhere.

The phenomenon we now call "meme stocks" was prototyped by Elon Musk in the second quarter of 2013, many years before the term came into use. Every "meme stock" since has followed that template. This is one of Elon Musk's actual innovations.

similar to the tipping point in the mid 2000s where LED/LCD high definition TVs became strictly cheaper than CRTs of the same size. CRTs were functionally dead within a few years.

I'm not heartsick for the person I was when I read her stories or the effect they had on me. I'm sick entirely for her daughter, who had to wait these long decades to be heard, to be believed, despite ample (!!!!) evidence, because people were too tied up in their perception of a Great Person

👇🏻Many infections start with kids in school. My family’s did. One kid only experienced a couple days of mild GI symptoms — but remained + for nearly 2 weeks. No one in our household developed a fever, though several of us felt miserable. Without testing, we could have contributed to a lot of spread!

I’d wait at least a few weeks before doing anything strenuous. Covid can cause asymptomatic organ issues, including myocarditis, and there’s some evidence that doing too much during or immediately after infection can make long Covid more likely.
