Re: Pediatric Diabetes Surge in Mississippi: Doctors Concerned COVID-19 Is To Blame - Yesterday

One of the prevalent schools of thought has been that a predisposition to T1 diabetes along with some kind of viral trigger is involved, but it remains just a popular conjecture. We may never know for sure. When we say something is "linked", it's not enough to provide anecdotal data. The two (Covid and Diabetes) could just as likely be coincidental for all we know. If the conjecture

Re: Florida new surgeon general removes most vaccine protocols in schools - 2 days ago

Anyone with kids in school in Florida needs to pull them out. Today. Yeah, not gonna happen, but that's the only thing short of federal intervention that will force any real changes to be made. When those daily attendance $$$ from the state stop rolling in, schools get real serious, real fast about fixing whatever is causing those absences.

Spent quite a bit of time in the Mineral King valley and over to Big Arroyo -->Kern River. There are two small Sequoia groves as you drive the 25 mile one-lane road into Mineral King. The fire is close. Three Rivers (where the road to Mineral King starts/ends) is evacuated right now. There should be a new picture facing Farewell Gap (to the south of the valley) tomorrow.

Re: Landslide victory for Gov Newsom, recall fails - 9 days ago

QuoteFilliam H. Muffman Noteworthy is how few people actually live in the counties that voted majority "Yes" compared with the rest of the counties in California. The map makes the results look far closer than reality. It's a whole lot of area with very few voters - relatively. That upper northeast corner that shows yes probably has fewer than 250,000 voters.
