Welcome to TEST! And stuff. The only dumb question is the one you don't ask, so ask. Uh, the exception to that rule is if you're drunk when you ask, but go ahead and ask anyway.

I'm not using NY Times, because it is behind a paywall for me, and their news feeds that I can't get via other means are seldom relevant to me. But there is a reason I say things like "usually" and "generally". In this case, there are 50 states, plus other entities reporting as part of the...

In fact, the number reported in that chart are the current (within 24 hours usually) official numbers for that state, as reported by the state. The numbers can, and do fluctuate but that is either added or subtracted from the day the addition or subtraction is made. You'll see days that...

This data is a week old (July 18th). Alabama's current graph (as of yesterday morning). Red line points to the 18th. That is showing the number of cases doubled in a week.

Very strange. My wife had a bad night on Saturday night, so she looked something like that when she woke up. Right now she looks kind of normal, but I'm not counting on it lasting all week.

Apparently, the Delta variant is imparting something on the order of 1000 times the viral load of the original strain. That explains a lot about how and why it's spreading.

Yes, your balls can smell like limburger, but you can still get a like.

Late last year and early this year, the WHO changed the way they designate VOI, VOC, and VOHC so the names are standardized. When we talk about Alpha, Beta, Gama, Delta etc. there is typically no further variant identifier, because each variant on the lists is unique. It's a more unambiguous...

I was half expecting something about the Lambda variant. We still don't have enough information on it, e.g. whether it can outcompete the delta variant. It is present in the US currently with small numbers, but was first detected in Peru. Also... just a stray thought: This naming structure...

I was typing just about the same thing when you posted this... It's a brilliant idea!

Because unlike in the US, most of the world's unvaccinated have not had a chance to be vaccinated yet. It is not their decision.

It's high speed, low level, decoupled flying. More: watch, or ask @vahadar View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r7OSXSreF4

At least you got to see a launch anyway.

This is TEST... We all need practice. Or glasses. Welcome

You only needed to have a role of duct tape, a spool of bailing wire, and a 2X4 to complete your set of spare parts.

My wife has OCD, and she plays WoW, so I know exactly what you mean.

It was the '80's...what can I say. lots of gel.

Welcome to TEST! Also from the southern bit of UTC-6 in the US, er... but I speak with a bit of an accent. From the north. Further north eh.

New variant called Delta. Double the infection rate of the original. There is a Delta.2 as well. AND it is here in North America.

This is nothing... Just wait to see what happens to the first billionaire to mine metals from an asteroid. Technically it doesn't have to be a billionaire, but the first guy to do that is going to be the first trillionaire.
