A police station around here is using plastic riot shields to separate the officers from people visiting the station.

They don't have money for that fancy plastic film.

I really worry about Betelgeuse going supernova tomorrow.

LOL. Given that it's 700 light years away from us I don't think you need worry .....yet

"Tomorrow" is relative.

An Australian astrophysicist has been admitted to hospital after getting four magnets stuck up his nose in an attempt to invent a device that stops people touching their faces during the coronavirus outbreak.

Way too many there, spending time and efforts in making fun of him. Even the journalist, I think.

You won't be here (or it is there?) by then Joey, anyway.

They should, most of us learned by the age of six to stop putting things up our nose.

You would be surprised at the number of ER visits by people with various objects stuck in various body orifices that they shouldn't be in... It tends to give the ER staff a bit of a "Silly Time" break from their otherwise serious and somewhat tedious at times routine shift.

 

Given a chance to become aquanted with one, perhaps you would too!

Was that, duck comment, meant for a certaing co-author of a certain thread? Being as how she is ducking it?

@shortbus, my friend -- As the 'labyrinth of moderation' goes this particular 'adit' would seem truly easy to navigate -- To wit: any reference to, quotation of, or comment regarding a politician, or political party is 'nix' -- plain as that!

My reason for asking was I seem to get dinged for doing what others, who were on the other side of that thread/experiment do quite often, with no consequences. Another member reposted a deleted post and called it "scientific" not political and got away with it. That is what I'm complaining about, uneven justice due to bias of past postings.

Update (3/27/2020): Our atypical Illness map now reflects the cumulative amount of atypical illnesses we’ve observed since March 1 — previously this map reflected only new atypical illness, updated daily. We think this way of looking at the data gives a more accurate and comprehensive view of what’s happening.
Update (3/24/2020): Due to widespread social distancing, school closures, stay-at-home orders, etc. feverish illness levels are dropping in many regions. This does not mean that COVID-19 cases are declining. In fact, we expect to see reported cases continue to surge in the near term, but it may indicate these measures are starting to slow the spread. See CDC COVID-19 Cases in U.S. for details.

True but, as an expert in bullying since my tender years at school, I cannot avoid the image of a bag of idiots making fun of someone. That hurts for the rest of life.

Better things to do in life.

 

I'm surprised no one has posted this yet, I waited to give others a chance, but here goes -

The idiot is the one with four magnets up his nose. I was bullied too, this is not bullying (seek to harm, intimidate, or coerce), this is being made an example of what not to do.

That deserves a double "Like"

There is no one so completely worthless that they cannot serve as a bad example.

“The Lord has helped us secure our congregation,” the pastor said. “We have brought in 13 machines that basically kill every virus in the place. If someone walks through the door, it kills everything on them. If they sneeze it shoots it down at a 100 mph. It’ll neutralize it in split seconds.

“So we have the most sterile building, I don’t know, in all of North America.”

All kinds of Charlatans and Snake Oils salesmen out there...

I have a brother in law that is a pastor in FLA(not the guy in the story) and he held services sunday. Encouraged the whole membership to attend, but told his daughter and grandkids not to show up.

Maybe he wants to send his entire congregation to heaven ahead of even his own family?

 

Hard to make a living as a preacher when you can't pass the plate...
