Gee, lucky you! Does that mean you get some calm weather as the eye goes by?
ReplyDeleteThere is not defined eye, as there would be with a hurricane. Plus, once it hit land, Tropical Storm Fay devolved into a Tropical Depression. It is now not unlike a windy, rain and thunderstorm. But it is moving up from the south, bringing humid air with it.

DeleteSame. It didn't have to be this way.

From the What Could Possibly Go Wrong? files: US Bets On Untested Company To Deliver COVID-19 Vaccine with nonexistent product that has not been tested or approved. [Click]
ReplyDeleteOh, and the company doesn't have any manufacturing capacity.
DeleteIt wasn't obvious until I read the article that this is about injection devices, not vaccines. And this is, of course, only one of several companies that will be supplying them. From the article: "'Hedging bets is the best approach, but plan for the worst case scenario and hope for the best case scenario,' said Zehrung." The most worrisome part, buried deep in the article, is that it's not clear the government has made adequate arrangements if the Apliject device turns out not to work or not to work with the selected vaccine. And although this innovative technology has been sold mostly of the basis of its low cost, the government is actually paying Apliject twice what it is paying for a traditional needle and syringe. (Not mentioned in the article, but it sounds like the Apliject device might also be easier for untrained people to use.)

ReplyDeleteI was thoroughly surprised to get a grant check from the junior college for $150 (which will pay for art supplies for my continuation of the class on my own). I finally figured out that it was the minimum CARES grant. the maximum is $600, which should be most welcome to the conventional students, especially since it comes during the Fall semester registration period.

ReplyDelete"The Tulsa screw-up will go down in campaign history, then the cancellation in little New Hampshire? Boom. (God knows why rallies are so important, he makes a complete ass of himself)."
But his hair might have been mussed by the non-existent rain! Have a heart!
DeleteSo the are concerned that another attempt at a rally will flop like the one in Tulsa did? You don't treat a boil by letting it slowly get worse--you lance it! Let them stage another rally, watch it flop, and be done with it.
DeleteJust my attempt to be helpful.
Ha! I hadn't heard they cancelled. Excellent!! We have family in New Castle, next to Portsmouth and I bet they were tickled!!

Old news. Trump said as much at the time. Although, as so often with this guy, you could never tell whether he half-thought he was Joking or half-thought he was serous.
