CDC says deep cleaning unnecessary, Noelle Apr 07 09:17

Calling deep cleaning “a distraction,” public health experts welcomed the news, saying there is little evidence that contaminated surfaces spread the virus. A much greater threat, they add, is the exhaled breath of infected people. “This virus largely spre...

I'm not sure what the charge would be. You could imagine appealing this up to the Supreme Court and saying it's free speech covered under the first amendment.

Re: the COVID diaries, robert Apr 09 08:14

At least the number of people who think that COVID is a "hoax" is a minority. That should stave off a war with China for a while.
Re: NYTimes: A Guide to Neopronouns, robert Apr 09 08:20

Even the "they/them" can get a bit funky. It may be better to just not use pronouns and use the person's name, if known. There are a lot of languages which don't have either subjective or objective personal pronouns.
- Re: NYTimes: A Guide to Neopronouns, robert Apr 09 08:41
  
  Oh, but reading about this more, I'm realizing that a lot of languages have the gender "baked into" the verb, like in Hindi. So, it may be more difficult to completely erase gender, aside from just the pronouns, from certain languages. bbc.com is also int...

Interesting. It's also ironic that the Trump administration on limits on immigration should have helped this union drive, but oddly did not. I guess workers were still just too afraid of losing their jobs. (Not sure if there is a lot of competition for th...

      One thing is that nothing like this could ever happen again. The "ones in power" are much better at covert psychological attacks to control the narrative and don't need explicit assassinations and show trials any more. So, although this trial was great en...
