I mean Life is Life. That’s just tautology and you can’t get less political that A = A. As to their look, they just like to play dress up! </sarcasm>

Because everything was handmade back then. Making it look nice with flourishes is how you advertised you were a skilled craftsperson and got business.

Relatedly, I'm thinking of jumping off of Goodreads (an Amazon company) to Storygraph, which is not Amazon and is a Black Woman owned company.

Here’s medical research: Rebound chance is 21% and there is no evidence it helps reduce the risk of developing long COVID. At best, Paxlovid is an acute symptom reliever with the downside of high rebound and no long term protective benefits to Long Covid—not worth it. www.ucsf.edu/news/2024/01...
Study Finds Paxlovid Treatment Does Not Reduce Risk of Long COVID
A team of researchers from UC San Francisco has found that Paxlovid did not reduce the risk of developing long COVID for vaccinated, non-hospitalized individuals during their first COVID-19 infection....

Yeah Paxlovid clears up symptoms fast but it leaves some virus around and your body isn’t ready for it as it’s already shut down normal immune response. The standard is 5 days of treatment for Paxlovid. It may work better with longer treatment but you can’t get that here in the U.S.

I wish we had fought more for legislation for better ventilation requirements here in the US, as well as more sick day guarantees for workers.

They really only offer Paxlovid for high-risk folks here in the US. I've got asthma that is triggered by cold/flu/covid but I don't bother asking for Paxlovid anymore as it's not worth it to have to worry about the rebound and possibly being contagious for another week after feeling better.

$100K per detainee? Yow! It makes more sense that the cost is more then CA costs but that much is incredible

Honestly surprised their costs aren't higher considering they likely need to ship all their food in and GitMo electricity is mainly diesel gen. GitMo is doing $200 a day per detainee compared CA's cost per inmate which is $350 per day. From a purely financial stance we should do prison abolition.
