What's the definition of well-known? I could maybe get two of them out of a lineup.

Xist · 03-17-2020, 03:07 AM

Idris Elba and Tom Hanks? I only know Rita Wilson because of this.
Sophie Trudeau is wife of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Kristofer Hivju was Tormund Giantsbane in "Game of Thrones" and Connor Rhodes in "The Fate of the Furious." I did not watch either.
Francis Suarez is the mayor of Miami.

Athletes that I only know from this:

Mikel Arteta is the manager of Arsenal.
Callum Hudson-Odoi winger in Chelsea whatever those words mean. Is this quidditch?
Paulo Dybala is an Italy-based Argentinian soccer player.
Rudy Gobert played for the Utah Jazz.
Donovan Mitchell also plays for the Utah Jazz.
Fernando Gaviria is a Colombian cyclist.
Dmitry Strakhov is a Russian cyclist.

Weird how we have two American athletes with it and both play in Utah, but if one athlete in West Virginia got it, there very well might be others. Speaking of West Virginia, "[A]s of Monday, West Virginia has only tested 84 people for coronavirus – out of a state of 1.8 million." https://www.wvpublic.org/post/corona...hould-distance

Have only 41 people in the entire state shown symptoms, or are they not testing enough?

Forty-one is the number of confirmed cases in Utah, which had a population of 3.161 million in 2018. Arizona now has 18 cases and had 7.172 million people in 2018. The U.S. is up to 4,727 cases and 9 deaths. Italy has 27,980 cases and 2,158 deaths.

Quote:

20 out of 21 new cases reported [in China] today are travelers from abroad Wuhan will require all overseas returnees to undergo quarantine.

Since people do not read the articles that I share, other politicians and their wives:

Nadine Dorries is a minister in the United Kingdom's health department.
Peter Dutton is the Australian home affairs minister. If people in the southern hemisphere (and Arizona) are getting it, it will not miraculously go away in the summer.
Massoumeh Ebtekar is the Iranian vice president.
Begona Gomez is the wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
Quim Torra is the regional leader of Spain’s Catalonia.
Pere Aragones is Catalan's deputy head of government.
Irene Montero is a Spanish minister.
Frank Riester is the French culture minister.
Fabio Wajngarten is a top aide to Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
Michal Wos is Poland's environment minister.

Show some respect.

Headlines on Slashdot today:

US Tried To Buy Out German Company For Access To Coronavirus Vaccine Research, German Officials Say (nytimes.com)

Quote:

According to the German newspaper Die Welt am Sonntag, which first reported the story on Sunday, Mr. Trump offered CureVac roughly $1 billion in exchange for exclusive access to the vaccine. The newspaper quoted an unnamed German government source who said Mr. Trump wanted the resulting vaccine "only for the United States." But another German official, reached by The New York Times, said it was unclear whether the administration simply wanted the research work, and for any resulting production to be on American soil.

Ten-Minute Coronavirus Test For $1 Could Be Game Changer (bloomberg.com)

Quote:

Using technology from home pregnancy and malaria tests, its saliva and finger-prick kit could be ready for sale by June for less than $1 apiece.... Mologic and the Institut Pasteur have joint capacity to produce 8 million tests a year and plan to sell them directly to African governments as well as the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization and the WHO, Fitchett said. Mologic is seeking to acquire a manufacturing facility to produce an additional 20 million tests annually, initially in the U.K. and later in Africa.

Oopsie, I quoted NYT.

The CureVac story is Fake News per thedonald.win. I used to trust Slashdot.

What is the rule that if a headline asks a question the answer is always no?

Hey Fred, what is 2 x 0?!--Barney

This procced just after the mother of my clients said that I could come by as early as 1, which is an hour from now, so I am going to get ready and see them. Let me know what you guys think!

As for myself, I question why you are posting daily, videos that you [apparently] don't agree with.

Meanwhile, my sources are sniffing around the connection between Lilies of the Valley and hand sanitizer.

Thanks, I did not want to make myself late for work looking up that!

Which videos are disagreeable to me? As I mentioned, I did not have time to watch this one, although I caught a bit as I got ready for work.

The first job that he mentioned was proceeding loans and her showed a job with no experience necessary that offered $30 an hour, although that is probably California pay.

There must be some opportunity to do this from home, at least for now!

I stand corrected.

If the banker's bailout were extended to sovereign citizens, you'd get $1000 a month for the duration. Maybe more? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demogr..._United_States (329,227,746x1000x12=3,950,732,952,000)

Whelp, same order of magnitude anyways. Still, I'm with Tulsi Gabbard on this one.
