I saw a Dr connected with the military on TV saying they were working on a vac that may be effective against all corona viruses if it works out.

That would make it effective against the common cold, another corona virus???

I also haven't had anything since the masks in public the last 5 months, very few illnesses among friends as well. I will always keep masks in my arsenal even after covid dies down for flu seasons.

I hate being sick.
The coronavirus causes around 20% of the common cold, then there's rsv, rhinovirus, parainfluenza among others. So it will reduce, but not eliminate.

US tops 5 million confirmed virus cases
ROME (AP) — With confirmed coronavirus cases in the U.S. hitting 5 million Sunday, by far the highest of any country, the failure of the most powerful nation in the world to contain the scourge has been met with astonishment and alarm in Europe.

I thought this was interesting, 3 ex-covid deniers (including an MD!) who later contracted the disease. There's good insight here on how people often fall for their own biases and logical fallacies. I HATE that this program refers to these people as skeptics! I'm a skeptic. They are not skeptics, they are (or were) conspiracy theorists. This is what happens when people are not trained to think critically, it can be deadly...

Is there any talk of the southern colleges breaking away from the ncaa and holding their own game schedules?

College pigskin chasing is almost a religion in a lot of places throughout the south and midwest. You can't stop them from holding services (tailgating until falling down stupid)......

Considering what we've seen that is the logical progression. I guess we'll see.

More than nuts to have amateurs try to play a sport like football with uncontrolled virus spread in most of the country and that’s before the fuckheads get back home from Sturgis
People play up sturgis as being a bunch of drunken biker gangs beating up anyone they want. In reality it has become a corporate event and there are far more middle and upper class weekend riders with $50k bikes than real 1%'rs. Posers, vendors, and wannabes.

Still a bunch of dumbfucks. It was fine when there was no pandemic. Hobbyist's need a place to meet occasionally and play fantasy roles.

Israeli jeweler makes $1.5m gold coronavirus mask

MOTZA, Israel (AP) — An Israeli jewelry company is working on what it says will be the world’s most expensive coronavirus mask, a gold, diamond-encrusted face covering with a price tag of $1.5 million.

The 18-karat white gold mask will be decorated with 3,600 white and black diamonds and fitted with top-rated N99 filters at the request of the buyer, said designer Isaac Levy.

Levy, owner of the Yvel company, said the buyer had two other demands: that it be completed by the end of the year, and that it would be the priciest in the world. That last condition, he said, “was the easiest to fulfill.”

That’s nuts and completely tone deaf with people losing their jobs and not being able to make rent. I just wanted to be different than everyone in the office wearing blue surgical masks. The joke was on me, nobody was wearing masks
