Like, say, 2%?

Not even close. The mortality rate for the seasonal flu in 2019 was .1%. It would be much lower for the common cold.

Various reports: Over 5000 members of the national guard were kicked of the US Capitol and housed in an underground garage, after some were caught violating Joe Biden's mask order. 

It turns out they are actually housed in hotel rooms. They had been taking breaks in the Capitol and adjacent buildings, but were told to use garages instead.  No one is sure who initiated the order or why. It did not come from Congress. It was not about masks. The chief of capitol police says it was not them. The guard says it came from uniformed  officers. Basically, a snafu.

Meanwhile, Trump's lack of a national Covid plan, economic mess, neo-mercantile America first foreign policy is fubar.

Well boys, Melinda just called and she scored some adrenochrome for our pagon orgy later. I think we’re going use the beds made out of pallets of cash we had printed at the Federal Reserve last week. That’s always a fun treat.

Anyway, it’s been fun, but I have to get back to creating ridiculous things for you guys to debate so you don’t even notice the important things going on right under your nose that are greatly diminishing your quality of life. It’s going to be really hard to top a manufactured virus, race war, and a rigged election with two candidates that were already in our pocket. I mean, I’m feeling good about the start we have with all of those crisis actors we had riot the capital. I’m pretty impressed with all of the useful idiots that followed.

Anyway, I hate to say it, but I’m a bit busy for the #5 most popular Illini sports online forum. So I look forward to you becoming my debt slaves. Remember, we’re all in this together and it takes everyone.

I had to Google Adrenachrome. Or maybe I should have used Bing?

That settles it. The real Bill Gates would know this board is not top five.

Maybe he's the William Gates from Hoop Dreams.

You’ve never seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas then, I assume?

I know 2% sounds like a low mortality rate to people who don’t math good, but if the common cold actually had a 2% mortality rate, there’s a decent chance modern civilization as we know it probably wouldn’t exist.

I’ve been wanting to read it for some time. I have a browser tab open on my phone where I’ve been doing some intermittent reading about Thompson.

Chill out…Biden’s action suspends the Trump executive order for 90 days.  There were some general concerns and questions at the time the orange man signed the executive order last May, such as legal authority and scope, the proper role of the federal agencies involved and lack of clarity in drafting.

The sky isn’t falling yet.  Let’s see what the Sleepy Joe administration proposes as a replacement or modification for protecting grid security and other critical infrastructure against cyberattacks in the U.S.

IMHO the Rum Diary is a better read than Fear and Loathing.

Unsurprisingly, the book is better than the movie. But the movie is pretty good. It was a lot more enjoyable before Johnny Depp decided to appropriate 80% of the same character for Captain Jack Sparrow though. It’s a bit tired at this point after 53 Pirates movies (*estimated).
