    Name the last Democrat President to start a war. 

    Now name the Republican presidents who have started wars since then.

    Breach of air traffic control sends chilling threat as revenge for killing of Iranian general

    Multiple air traffic controllers in New York heard a chilling threat Monday in audio obtained exclusively by CBS News: "We are flying a plane into the Capitol on Wednesday. Soleimani will be avenged."

    The threat refers to Qassem Soleimani, the Iranian general killed last year in a U.S. drone strike ordered by President Trump. It was made on the one-year anniversary of Soleimani's death, for which Iranian officials have long vowed revenge.

    It's unclear who sent the threat. While the government does not believe the warning of an attack is credible, it is being investigated as a breach of aviation frequencies, CBS News has learned.

    I'm hoping this is a backlog / "we forgot to count any COVID cases over the last week" kind of thing, but Worldometers shows Texas with over 28,600 new cases today (with Bexar and Travis #s yet to hit).  For reference, the highest new case count prior to today on Worldometers was 22,696. 

    Needless to say, but if you're in Texas, stay home as much as you can and mask up if you have to go out.  January is going to be shitty. 

    Travis' nuimbers just posted.  Cases not terrible @ 564, but new admits @ 115 is bad.  Real bad.

    The hospital I went to ran out of doses last night so cancelled today's clinic. Apparently some associates put off getting the vaccine early because they wanted to see how it affected people. They started trickling in this week to get it but I guess the ones who missed out will just have to wait until they get a fresh supply of round 1 doses. They will start giving round 2  out on Thursday.

     

    meanwhile

    Over 70 Percent of U.S. COVID Vaccine Doses Remain Unused Across the Country (msn.com)

    Does this ally include the 2nd shot being held back?

    Does anybody know how to get the stickies on FB board to go away in TT?  On a PC, there are only a few. On TT there are currently 9, including some old ones like "Banner for the Tech Game". 

    Sure.  Just stop using tapatalk.

    Not sure whats driving it, but NOVN is on a nice tear the last week or so. 

    Not sure either, I think it's just running in sympathy to BNGO but NOVN has some catalysts coming. Chart looks primed for a nice run, much more solid and stable this time around

    They are hitting some trial enrollment targets and should be reading out top line results in 2Q. 

    I'm now in to ten.

    A Dr. Brandenburg weighing on changing human's DNA through injections?  Was his professor, Dr. Mengele unavailable for comment?  

    In all seriousness, his license is gone forever.  But it does make you wonder how easy it could be to do this to larger quantities along the supply chain.  We see kind of hippie-ish doctors in our family, more on the wholisitic side.  But for this vaccine, I'm going to a nice Jewish or Asian fellow that believes strongly in hard science.

    I pulled his license record to see where he trained at. Unlike Texas, Wisconsin does not appear to report where a licensee trained.

    I volunteered for the Janssen two dose phase 3 trial. I'm supposed to go get the vaccine or placebo later this week. Quick question... will doing this effect my ability to get a Pfizer/Moderna vaccine once they are widely available in a few months?

    You'll get dropped from the trial when you get one of the others.

    By what mechanism? The virus would have to be able to replicate in the body yet not cause any symptoms. That is highly unlikely. The only other possibility is for the virus to lay dormant in certain cells. If that occurred then the efficacy of the vaccine would be low not high. Maybe, people are referring to the lag time between the first and second dose. Anyway, I am sticking with my answer of NO. It can for sure screw up antigen testing, though.

    Yeah, that is my position as well. I think it likely that the vax sterilizes and prevents/reduces transmission, but there is no definitive data.

    Any of you phone sleuths figure out what kinda phone he's on, then you can tell by the angle of his fingers...how small his hands really are.  At 6'3", his hands should be about---what 9" across?  Mine are 10.5", a lot of people are saying my hands won a contest against his hands.  I dunno, that's just what people are saying. 

    If somebody doesn't mind probably having a few weapons pulled on them, this Georgia rally would be a good place to hold up a simple sign saying

    "Tremendous Hands"      (which is what I called Ivanka in college).  

    Didn't you have a bit you did about nobody needing a phone that wasn't sized for midgets?

    I thought I just read that you can still transmit it to others even though you’re protected. 

    I think that is the assumption that many of the recommendations moving forward will be based on, but I don't think there is anything definitive to work with.
