Yep, pre-911 you still had to go through a metal detector and get your stuff x-rayed. Taking off your shoes and no fluids are the only new restrictions really.

Read between the lines. They are marketing for people who don't want to wear a mask but have to. These "masks" are designed to do the bare minimum to get you onto an airplane. It's not supposed to protect you.

>The point is to be the last person to catch it when hospitals are at normal capacity and everything else is back to normal, just in case you happen to have a very poor reaction to it. By that reasoning you would only wear masks when rat

The CDC has never balanced risks in any reasonable way. If you listened to the CDC, you wouldn't eat sunny-side up eggs, medium-rare steak, and Prosciutto. I'm not sure its limited to just the CDC. The entire medical field misapp

And if its anything like American colleges, the draconian restrictions don't actually stop the students from crowding into over-packed apartment and house parties over the weekends.

If there is little to no evidence that it reduces spread amongst children, the effects of covid on children is irrelevant. You wouldn't say an article shitting on Ivermectin effacy failed to take into account Long COVID. The article

It's a point of a vaccine, but they usually do a really good job of reducing transmission too.

There are still biases against new world wines. But its really about finding a something you really like from a less known region. Everyone has preferences, so find one that matches yours. That said its often hard to find those. I like red

Courts don't actually require you to check hashes like the OP claims. They do remarkably little evidence authentication unless the opposing party contests the evidence. Digital evidence is by default produced to the other side by low

Firms navigate this by making the employees fill out their own billing entries. If OP is filling out fraudulent billing entries then that would explain why nobody is checking up on him. If he's billed out, his real work output is bille

There are definitely small firms that rely on the young paralegal who is a self taught super user. But that sort of firm wouldn't pay someone 90k for doing a small part of all IT. Slight chance this person was hired as a "case ass

This is the actual red flag. A mid-size firm simply couldn't function without IT. They could outsource it to a contractor, but, in that case, they'd never then hire someone for 90k to do one small IT task. If there is any true to

If the firm was billing his time, he'd have to create a billing log. You generally can't get away with billing for IT. But you can bill for "litigation support" which is the intersection of IT and litigation. Though it

I'm full on board the "let'r rip" train, but don't knowingly expose people to sicknesses. Even if they'll get it eventually, it's better if everyone doesn't get it all at once.

PCR false negative rate is really low. There are other possibilities like that she had a cold and the 5th test was a false positive or she had a cold and got covid several days later.

It gets taxed the same as a single mom who works at Kroger during the pandemic. If you want to lower the taxes on single moms, increase child credits and raise the 0% tax rate bracket to cover higher incomes. Simple. If there are tax repo

I think its a fairly reasonable requirement if: 1) you advertise in bold/black letters that internet service is required every X days. No bait and switch. 2) you are required to release an update disabling the call home feature if you

Officials, Pfizer, and Moderna were loudly celebrating the "94%" or "95%" effectiveness, which was measured in symptomatic cases. Now its 0-20% w/o a booster. The vaccine is clearly less effective than before, which

95% effective meant 95% less symptomatic cases. Now everyone is pretending nobody ever promised protection from infection.

There are networks that operate on low budgets. But Netflix, Amazon, HBO, Disney, etc. aren't spending hundreds of millions of shows out of generosity to artists.

The bigger danger is its just a path to the end of democracy. If the 50.1% can just vote themselves a bigger piece of the pie, how long before the morlocks decide they don't like supporting a bunch of eloi. If the morlocks decide elo

You don't think an experiment killing 20 million people is worth it if we can make sure Trump doesn't have a good media-cycle? What are you some sort of fascist.

>for me, a mask is really not that uncomfortable and the discomfort is negligible. Great, so wear one. Nobody is asking you not to. I think its fairly uncomfortable and makes interactions harder. I won't.

>None of these are 100%. Does not mean they’re 0% effective. Life is about cost-benefits. I'm not going to bother with a 11% effective mask if I'm vaccinated.

Rhinoviruses spread not only via aerosols, but also supposedly spread better through surface contact than COVID19. Air circulation won't stop you from touching a contaminated surface. But its pretty clear medicine has a very poor under

But none of the mask mandates--at least in the USA--have required masks that significantly work. So you have a law that requires uncomfortable masks that make it hard to communicate, but don't significantly reduce transmission. "
