If Michelle Obama were VP , Barack could be the unofficial President to coach Biden along.

Susan Rice is well qualified for VP , although Michelle Obama might be more popular with Barack to guide her.

There is a pneumonia vaccine and a new version of shingles vaccine easy at a drug store.

I'll get a flu and pneumonia vaccine in Sept to play it safe. I don't expect a covid vaccine this year.

Maid of the Mist is now running with spacing.

Flu virus with 'pandemic potential' found in China It emerged recently and is carried by pigs, but can infect humans, they say. The researchers are concerned that it could mutate further so that it can spread easily from person to person, and trigger a global outbreak. While it is not an immediate problem, they say, it has "all the hallmarks" of being highly adapted to infect humans and needs close monitoring. As it's new, people could have little or no immunity to the virus https://www.bbc.com/news/health-53218704 Trump asks what the '19' in COVID-19 stands for "I said, 'What's the 19?' COVID-19.

The one advantage Barkley has he's familiar with the playbook and team. The lack of practice time due to covid hurts teams that had a high turnover.

That is the good news . The bad news is the rising number of positive tests that might lead to more hospital admissions and deaths.

The U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives would need to approve the statehood admission by a two-thirds majority vote https://people.howstuffworks.com/new-state-in-us.htm

I was more concerned with Puerto Rico becoming a State.

The last time Congress created a new state The Constitution grants general state-creation powers to Congress in Article IV, Section 3, under the Admissions Clause, which reads: “New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.” https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/the-last-time-congress-created-a-new-state-hawaii Not sure of the procedure

So California should divide into 2 states ?

California with almost 40M population has same number of Senators as Wyoming less then 600K population. Is that fair representation ?

Not with a republican Senate , Puerto Rico might now also try for statehood.

Which is worse Biden's gaffes or Trump's lies and misinformation ? Trump Is Lying More Than Ever: Just Look At The Data I evaluated Trump’s 18,000 reported lies organized by topic. If Trump lied consistently, we would see a relatively flat distribution of falsehoods over time and across topics. Instead, bursts of deception tend to repeat on the same topic, particularly about guns, the economy, education, and elections. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidmarkowitz/2020/05/05/trump-is-lying-more-than-ever-just-look-at-the-data/#1ca2a51f1e17

Fiorina indicates she’ll vote for Biden, saying she 'can't support' Trump Former Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina says in a new interview that she’ll likely vote for presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden in November’s general election rather than President Trump. “I am encouraged that Joe Biden is a person of humility and empathy and character,” Fiorina added. “I think he’s demonstrated that through his life.” https://www.foxnews.com/politics/saying-she-cant-support-trump-fiorina-indicates-shell-vote-for-biden

No , let them have hope for a change. They love the US unconditionally .

My relatives in Poland watched their President at the White House , they love Trump more then anyone here. I would never write a negative word to them after what they went thru in WWll and then Soviet rule.

A DR in Florida who was angry said if you don't wear a mask you will really hate wearing a ventilator. nuff said

The NFL used replacement players for the 1987 season short strike to get TV revenue and fans attend.If most of the starting OL were out no way would I risk Allen , use a backup. I think the season would be canceled at that point.

They can play without fans but not without enough healthy players. There are enough undrafted players to fill in like in the strike season. Only time will tell , keep 2 back up QBs isolated .
