Supposedly it (masks) has no effect on catching the virus, only on the transmission of the virus.
They stop you from coughing up your sputum onto your neighbor, but unfortunately that's about it.
An N95 mask properly fitted and fit tested will protect you, but must be reserved for those dealing with sick people and folks like cops, EMS workers and even grocery store checkout clerks. A simple DIY mask will protect others, but you should not be in public if you need to wear one for that reason.

thats a bone in rib steak from WFM, it was decent with some potato salad, grilled asparagus and Shiner Bocks
our local butcher shop always has (not sure about now) the tomahawk cut ribeye. with the big axe handle bone sticking out.
That cut & the Porterhouse are the 2 best cuts of beef in the World in my opinion,
Definitely Last Supper stuff :)

yes the tomahawks make for dramatic presentations. I save the big guns for entertaining. I had a really superb pork rib chop tomahawk style last summer. I didnt grill it. I rubbed it with all kinds of love, browned it up then pan roasted. It was as good as those rare breed pork products like berkshire, mangalitsa, "wagyu", gloucestershire etc

"Hunker down", a good band name and phrase that Trump and his crime family would like to copyright. Like Pat Riley did with "threepeat".

First participant in coronavirus vaccine trial given dose
From CNN’s Michael Nedelman

A novel coronavirus vaccine trial in the US has now given a dose to its first participant, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases announced Monday.
The study aims to enroll a total of 45 healthy adults over a six-week time frame. Each participant will receive two injections about a month apart in varying doses.
The study, which is a Phase I trial, is meant to establish that the vaccine is safe and induces a desired response from participants' immune systems. Proving that the vaccine is effective in preventing COVID-19 infection, however, will require follow-up studies involving many more participants, which will take many more months, experts say.
“Finding a safe and effective vaccine to prevent infection with [the novel coronavirus] is an urgent public health priority,” NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci said in a statement Monday. “This Phase 1 study, launched in record speed, is an important first step toward achieving that goal.”
The trial is funded by NIAID and run out of the Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute in Seattle. The vaccine, which uses genetic material called messenger RNA, was developed by NIAID scientists in collaboration with the biotech company Moderna.
The agency credited the speed with which it stood up a Phase I trial to its prior studies on related coronaviruses SARS and MERS. Scientists had previously worked on an experimental MERS vaccine targeting a protein on the virus' surface, which gave them a "head start for developing a vaccine candidate to protect against COVID-19," the statement said.

A mere $19 million, should be more like 19 Billion! A good place for a few billionaires to dump some cash.

World Health Organization's new coronavirus respond fund raised nearly $19 million so far
From CNN's Jacqueline Howard

Since the World Health Organization launched its COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund on Friday, more than 110,000 people have contributed almost $19 million to the fund, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a press briefing on Monday.
"We’re grateful to everyone who has contributed," Tedros said
He continued: "These funds will help to buy diagnostic tests, supplies for health workers and support research and development.”

Why the fuck is Trump POTUS, that useless POS.
At least someone in Government has the foresight to see what the fuck is heading our way.


Someone should drag Trump out of the WH into the Rose Garden & put a bullet into his brain pan, like right now & do the Galaxy a favor.
That's what they would do in North Korea or China too fools, and that's a good idea in my opinion in this case.
Fucking curse upon Mankind
