Heard an NPR interview with Barry a month or so ago, agree. The Treaty to end WWI has always been portrayed as laying the foundation for WWII, but the Spanish Flu's role is stunning.
If trump staggers out of Reed to have a last second "Summit meeting" with Kim or Vlad in a desperate attempt to win the election, we're righteously F'd.

Given Karma's stunning comeback, it stands to reason that Trump's little sojourn will result in disastrous consequences for all involved.

Riders in the limo wearing N95's. Short joy ride. Swing and a miss by the MSM. IMO.

The book is worth reading. I wouldn't have picked Nicholson for that part. Kesey was a good writer before it all went to pot and acid. Sometimes a Great Notion was an excellent book as well; Paul Newman as a hard ass logger in the movie not so much.
Re WWII--one could say the same thing for a sick Roosevelt at Yalta and the Cold War--at least the USSR might have wound up with less if Roosevelt had been on his game. A sick President trying to tough it out is doing nobody any favors. I do have to laugh about Trump working in his hospital suite. I guess that means he has cable.

Shotgun seat has a N95. That's legit protection and all I can see. He had to show himself as prez. Tradition.

It interesting that we have collectively committed to thinking that masks prevent the wearer from contracting the virus now. Wasn't it at one point "Wear a Mask to Prevent Transmission to Others"? Seems like a simple concept, but no one was biting, so now it is just "Wear a Fucking Mask and You Won't Catch it"...

From the last I've seen there's been evidence that wearing a mask reduces the severity of getting sick if you get it, possibly connected to reducing the initial amount of virus one's exposed to.

Damn, beaten by half an hour. Trump would not be proud.
I went to the effort of making a meme though.

Most of our laws are made to protect the rest of society from people as dense as Nameless Name.

Masks and PPE in general are the best, practical method of reducing, not elimination infection. All the PPE the SS used certainly helped reduce their risk, but did not eliminate it. Not getting in the fucking car with Typhood Mary would have eliminated it.
No competent person said wearing masks was wrong. The recommendations have changed as knowledge has evolved, and more importantly PPE became more available. If public health came out and said everybody should wear a mask, there would have been no masks for the frontline health professionals. Any of us who have had any sort of infectious disease control or public health lectures, and there are quite a few of us here, knows masks work. When this first got started I knew of people in COVID wards that had minimal PPE, including one mask a week.
I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...iscariot
