If (a bit over) 8K people die daily in the US, and 1K die from COVID-19 right now, are 9K people dying daily? Or the same 8K just from a different cause? (I looked and looked and could not find any numbers for that.)

It is amazing that rioters and looters, heck even "protesters" are immune from COVID-19, but church goers are not. It is amazing that grocery store clerks and gas station attendants are immune from COVID-19, but teachers are not. It is almost as if there is some sort of agenda... ? I look for COVID-19 to cease to be an issue for anyone on November 4, 2020.

Erm...

WOW! Look at the organization on that binder. The "absurd" and the "lies" categories should take up ¾ of that binder. It is her binder, if she wants to misspell anything she can. And whining about no "q" on LGBT? These people go are definitely part of the perpetually aggrieved.

Here is the thread unrolled (no twitter bias at all, no sirree... )

More regulatory rollbacks... * Previous administration added 16K pages of regulations. * Trump administration removed 25K pages. * Prior administration added over 6K regulations, costing the average American $2,300 per year. He's yapping about the low energy pressure that causes people to use more water as they have to shower longer, etc. * washer and dryers * shower heads and faucets * dishwashers Infrastructure approval process timeline is being cut to a maximum of 2 years.

Each of our trusts were a significant cost due to privacy issues (not NYS trusts). The cost can be a concern for people.

Lindsey Graham said that the sole source for Christopher Steele's dossier was not some random Russian, he was Steele's employee. Link to the 5 minute clip. "They found the guy, he wasn't a sub-source, he was an employee of Christopher Steele." "The Russian was on Christopher Steele's payroll, he wasn't a contractor," Graham said. "After you talk to the guy who put the memo together, and you got a 40-page document explaining why it's not reliable, and do use it after that, you are really in trouble." </snip>

At the presser today, Kayleigh McEnany was asked about the data. Intent is to send data to HHS daily data given to Dr Birx and others running point (medicinal and hot spots). Two methods of data collection. One National Healthcare Safety Network (CDC system) where hospitals voluntarily report their system. 81% were reporting data. They need 100% of hospitals reporting. Second method the TeleTracking system that was used for provider relief funding (HHS). This data is more complete. (Me: duh it was for $$ so of course the hospitals were providing more complete data.) This is open source data, and available to the CDC. No one is taking access or data away from the CDC. (The clip will be worth viewing if it becomes available or fast forward to the 20 minute mark of of today's presser.)

I edited to add the cost of making a trust can be prohibitive for some people.

We have trusts, but for most people a will is better than nothing. (I say that as the cost of a trust to be set-up can be prohibitive for some people.)

Unless the RNC runs a reasonable, electable person against him in 2022 and supports that person with $$, Cuomo is going to be NYS Emperor for Life. There are a lot of people who think this is great news and he has done an amazing job with COVID-19. Well, except for business owners. And people who have relatives in nursing homes. And people who got fired due to the shut downs.

The headline should read "a total of" as 10K have already been released early. 18,000 prisoners to be released by end of August, California Department of Corrections says An estimated 8,000 inmates could be eligible for release by the end of August, in addition to the state’s reduction of about 10,000 inmates since Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency in March, the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) said. The CDCR says its previous “pandemic emergency decompression efforts” have reduced inmate populations system-wide by approximately 10,000 people already, to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission within its facilities. “These actions are taken to provide for the health and safety of the incarcerated population and staff,” CDCR Secretary Ralph Diaz said in a news release. “We aim to implement these decompression measures in a way that aligns both public health and public safety.” According to the CDCR, of the state’s approximate 115,000 inmates, roughly 2,400 prisoners have tested positive for the coronavirus, and at least 31 prisoners have died from COVID-19 related illnesses – accounting for roughly 2 percent and 0.026 percent, respectively, of the inmate population. </snip> Prisoners who have committed violent crimes, including domestic violence, have been assessed as “high risk for violence,” or are registered sex offenders are ineligible for early release. The first group of prisoners eligible for early release included those who had 180 days or less left of their sentence to serve. The second group includes those with no more than one year of their sentence left to serve. Priority is given to inmates 30 years old or older, according to CDCR officials; efforts are ongoing to expedite the remainder of the cases. </snip>

As adults, they should already have had a will. If this is the nudge they needed to have their families (and assets) protected after their death, well, ok. I hope they got a living will while they are at it.

Because all the original images will go away, I am posting them as screenshots. And then there is this point:

So, the images are interesting. "Trends blacklist" and "search blacklist" certainly are signs of an open, un-manipulated twitter! Hackers Convinced Twitter Employee to Help Them Hijack Accounts After a wave of account takeovers, screenshots of an internal Twitter user administration tool are being shared in the hacking underground. </snip> Twitter has been deleting some screenshots of the panel and has suspended users who have tweeted them, claiming that the tweets violate its rules. The panel is a stark example of the issue of insider data access at tech companies. Whereas in other cases hackers have bribed workers to leverage tools over individual users, in this case the access has led to takeovers of some of the biggest accounts on the social media platform and tweeted bitcoin related scams in an effort to generate income. The screenshots show details about the target user's account, such as whether it has been suspended, is permanently suspended, or has protected status. Data breach monitoring and prevention service Under The Breach obtained a similar screenshot and tweeted it as the hackers hijacked several accounts. The person in control of the Under The Breach account told Motherboard Twitter then removed the tweet with the screenshot and suspended them for 12 hours. A message replacing the tweet now says it violated the Twitter rules. </snip> I expect the original tweet to get deleted as it shows those screen shots (and twitter is deleting the people posting them), so including a screen shot of the responses I am quoting:

Trump is walking a thin line with Biden... at the presser the other day he spoke about Joe and Hunter Biden a lot of past corruption, pointing out their misdeeds in the Ukraine and in China (ie, enriching graft while ***** the American public). As he should. I have also heard Trump comment on Biden campaign tweets/press releases and say, "Joe didn't write that." And the press never pushes why Trump would say that since "everyone" knows Joey Fingers has a cognitive problem, and the (complicit) press wants to bury it as much as possible. So, Trump is stuck... "pick" on the dementia patient? Or go soft on him? Usually Trump is a counter-puncher. His campaign needs to figure out the correct tone to make the general public aware that Biden has real cognitive issues, and they need that plan in place for after Labor Day when John Q. Public begins to pay attention to the race.

Boy, this guy gets twitter...
