Yeah, a head of state shouldn't say things like that. But I'd take that shot, personally. Well, maybe not Russia's. Oxford/AZ, definitely.

Sketchy ass Russian vaccine? No thank you.

Wing Commander the movie
The price still hasn't come down from the toilet paper shortage and people were wiping their ass with it.

New Zealand suddenly has unexplained community spread after having zero known cases for 102 days. Well, "unexplained" in the sense that they can't tell where it came from since the people who tested positive had no known contact without outsiders (textbook "community spread").
It lingers, folks.
Suddenly, I feel like The Retro Future's "man on the street" Long Boy public reaction video was ill-advised despite the Jersey Channel Islands reportedly having no community spread:

After seeing the videos of what those places are like it will be nearly impossible to fully stamp it out as long as they're inhabited.
Ship like conditions.

Our school district finalized plans, by vote, last night. K & 1st in school A/B schedule. Not sure what's going on with preschool. The 'littles' just can't learn via remote education according to local (university) experts.
2nd-12th grade will be remote. Teachers have the option of doing remote teaching from their classroom or at home. This issue is due to be re-evaluated in 9 weeks, to make any adjustments based on data collected by the health department and the superintendent and staff. More plans put in place to monitor student and teacher participation; which was don't poorly this past spring. I don't think the state DOE or the district have provided enough technology support for the reopening, but more assistance is coming online this winter, as needed.

I watched this movie on netflix while riding an exercise bike. I think it was merely forgettable, never actually actively bad like say a modern Transformers movie. I have some weird fondness for Matthew Lillard so I enjoyed it regardless.
That said, I am not a wing commander fan so it probably craps all over the source material in ways I'm oblivious too.

What a profound show of stupidity.
Wish the boy/girl ratio was that good when I was in high school!

Israel opened its high schools and almost immediately had huge outbreaks that sent the country's caseload through the roof.
Many Americans think that special rules apply to us in everything including biology and disdain expertise. There are consequences to denying reality.

Will be interesting here when they reopen the schools since we're doing decently well. I feel we could see a second wave in November-December. Maybe sooner, but I think it will take a bit of time.
I'm just glad my company decided to extend working from home.
I'm just glad my company decided to extend working from home.
So the Uni I work for (Cornell) is taking a rather unprecedented step. For any who don't know, they're reopening in-person classes with a notion of 'bubbling' the local area (to the extent they can I guess) and use a very aggressive testing and trace/quarantine system to keep things under control. Many of us have been ... dubious about this working, but the logic behind their decision is sound, at least. They took surveys of the student body and upwards of 80-90% of the student population was coming back to the local area, whether we did in-person or online only, so at least with in-person the Uni can mandate tests/tracing/quarantining, as well as punishment for those that step out of line.
I am concerned, but thankfully I do not need to be on-campus to do my job. As of right now, our county has 230 positive cases and zero deaths. We've got some 12,000 warm bodies coming into the county over the next week or two. Per the paper linked below, they're estimating ~1250 new cases, and if they did online-only (whereupon they'd still have 9,000 students arriving) they'd have more like ~7200 cases. Disturbing numbers.

I can't believe so many kids are still coming back, since there's a good chance is going to get canceled after you've already paid or transformed into online at best. This seems like the year to live at home with mom and dad and wait it out. But I couldn't believe kids would go so far into debt before this to be honest.
The part that surprised me is the number of students that are coming back to this town regardless of it being opened or closed. I think they just really, really want that 'college life' or whatever, damn the consequences.

Universities will open in person just long enough to get the cash and then go online. Like PingSpike said, it's a good time to sit it out.

A crucial election to boot. I'm a hopin' and a prayin'. Demos roll over the repugs like a steam roller will answer a prayer of mine.

Big Ten is expected to announce no football in 2020 soon.
I saw that DeSantis offered colleges to send their teams to FL to play. Which if they aren't in school kind of lays to an end that most of these kids are "student" who shouldn't be paid or have bargaining rights.
