Doctor Landon is @emilymichelel on Twitter. I think her tweets and retweets are quite interesting. Dr. Jetelina gives quite concise updates and covers many of the bases, so to speak, without being too technical or overwhelming IMO. I did have a different name Langdon in the thread. I made a mistake.The Doctor Landon is a different doctor. I don't have a clue who she is..... I'm never in Twitter. "Dr. Emily Landon, MD Prof. specializes in infectious disease, and serves as medical director of antimicrobial stewardship and infection control at University of Chicago Medicine." This is the correct doctor that I like

I have an article - another doctor, the same kind. Emily Langdon Landon, MD UChicago the "G" was my fat fingers I put that article so I can see it just a little bit it's on my icloud. I check it and then I realize we still have the flu19 and it'll end
Dr. Katelyn Jetelina, MPH PhD—an epidemiologist was OK too. There's just too many articles.
There's so many articles about the flu19 - the variants. I absolutely decided to skim the article.

He was terrific hitter. It was a first player a long time. And he should be on the Fame. They should have a different room for only Designated Hitters. Actually they should put all the Boston HOFs for another room.
It was an amazing hitter especially the cleanup - Papi

Flake (...) "I've been trying to avoid partisan subjects here."
I enjoyed the thread..... I was reading. What's happening with Putin and Ukraine? It's the same Russian mob/thugs/assassins
I saw some of the thread especially the pictures and the music. I certainly couldn't figure out the women. I guess the entire pics/music was humor....... There are some hot women in Russia
Why don't we call Dr Strangelove?

I'm here barely. This is what I nurse in the mornin'.... the virtual newspapers and articles. Some breakfast - fruit and liquid. And I hope I will prepare dinner....Shepherd Pie Here's one..... And I like this Fauci medical adviser! Viral News: Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Biden’s top medical adviser for Covid-19, said yesterday that the current Omicron wave is peaking in the US and that new cases could fall to manageable levels in the coming months. “What we would hope,” Dr. Fauci said during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week,” “is that, as we get into the next weeks to month or so, we’ll see throughout the entire country the level of infection get to below what I call that area of control.” He didn’t say Covid is going away. Infections will continue, “but they don’t disrupt society,” he said. “That’s the best case scenario.” Meanwhile, a Minnesota man whose wife sued the hospital when they tried to take him off a ventilator and let him die, has died. Scott Quiner, 55, who was not vaccinated and had spread Covid misinformation online, had been on a ventilator for two months when his doctors called it quits. His wife had him transferred to a hospital in Texas. The Quiners’ lawyer, also a vaccine skeptic, said the Minnesota doctors didn’t use every protocol available, although the hospital said Mrs. Quiner had asked for treatments that were medically insupportable. The family lawyer said Quiner would get better in Texas, “And as he gets better and better, we are going to see that you know what, there are protocols that should be used that hospitals have not been using.” Quiner died on Saturday. Mistakes and Malice: Jury selection begins today in former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s defamation lawsuit against The NY Times in a case that may refine the difference between libel and sloppy journalism. A Times editorial in 2017 incorrectly linked the 2011 shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords to a map circulated by Palin's PAC that showed certain electoral districts under crosshairs. The Times retracted and apologized, but Palin sued. The case is about the limits of First Amendment protections and the standard set in the landmark New York Times vs. Sullivan case, after which a public figure must prove not only that they were maligned, but that the news outlet in question acted with "actual malice." Palin’s suit claims malice and The Times said they made an honest mistake. Urban Warfare: The Glock pistol used to kill a New York City police officer Friday night had a rotary magazine allowing the gun to carry up to 50 rounds. New York City law prohibits magazines of greater that 10-round capacity, but this gun had been listed as stolen. The New York Post found a website selling the rotary magazines that says, “Now you can load up on Tuesday and shoot to Wednesday with this 50 round 9mm magazine for your Glock.” The Boys of January: Pro football was incredible this weekend. Kansas City and Buffalo traded touchdowns and a field goal, scoring 24 points in the final 74 seconds to go into overtime. The Chiefs won it with a touchdown to go to the AFC Championship. In Florida, Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady fell short of reaching his 11th Super Bowl. The Buccaneers ran on two of eight cylinders for three quarters against Los Angeles until Brady tied it at 27 with less than a minute on the clock. The Rams won with a last-second field goal to reach the NFC championship. Saturday was also a big night for the foot in football. As time ran out in Green Bay, Robbie Gould hit one from 45 yards out to put San Francisco in the NFC championship Earlier, with just four seconds left, rookie Evan McPherson kicked his fourth field goal for Cincinnati, a 52-yarder, to win 19-16 for a spot in the AFC final game. Donald’s Choice: Complaining to The Washington Examiner about the January 6 Committee summoning his daughter, Donald Trump said, “They'll go after children." The child in question here is Ivanka Trump, 40, who was an adviser to her father when he was president. Not a job for a child. Ivanka was witness to events in the Oval Office before and during the insurrection. Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen said on MSNBC Saturday that Trump said 10 years ago that if one of his children had to go to jail, make sure it was Don Jr., not Ivanka. This was in 2012 when Junior and Ivanka were being investigated by the Manhattan DA for real estate fraud, similar to the current investigation. Cohen said Trump told him, “If one or the other has to go to prison, make sure that it's Don because Don would be able to handle it." The Spin Rack: The State Department has ordered the pullout of diplomatic families from the US embassy in Ukraine. Russia has already done the same. ---Arizona Democrats censured their senator, Kyrsten Sinema, who last week opposed changing the filibuster rules, thereby joining Republicans in blocking the voting rights bill. --- Four people were killed and one wounded when several gunmen fired at a house party near Los Angeles about 1:30 yesterday morning. Two men and two women died in the shooting in Inglewood, south of downtown LA. --- Jean-Jacques Savin, a 75-year-old French adventurer who was attempting to row across the Atlantic Ocean alone from Portugal to the Caribbean was found dead inside his overturned boat Saturday near the Azores after he had sent out distress signals several days before. Having made many dangerous journeys, Savin had said before he departed that this was to be his “last challenge at sea.” Clueless in Philadelphia: The average annual wage for Americans in 2021 was $53,383 and the median wage was $34,612, according to the Labor Department. A professor of legal studies and business ethics at the Wharton School of Business in Philadelphia recently asked her students to guess at that figure, the average American wage. A quarter of her students answered that they believe the average American wage is at least $100,000, and one of them said $800,000. www.TheRooneyReport.com

An collaboration & great article. It started with a hospital's newsletter and then I edited it a long time... I put in the Soundhole Forum.... Common Sense
* Take breaks from watching, reading, or listening to news stories, including social media. Hearing about the pandemic repeatedly can be upsetting. * Take care of your body. Take deep breaths, stretch, or meditate. * Try to eat healthy, well-balanced meals, exercise regularly, get plenty of sleep, and avoid alcohol and drugs. * Make time to unwind. Try to do some other activities you enjoy. * Connect with others. Talk with people you trust about your concerns and how you are feeling. * Call your healthcare provider if stress gets in the way of your daily activities for several days in a row.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One thing about this pandemic is that no one can bullshit their way out of it. The virus will do it. Ignoring Internet forum rants, opinion pieces in the press, and cable news.
One thing is for sure though. When things have stabilized, everyone will claim they were right all along.

I bought a old beat up 1955? Gibson hog LG0 or LG(?) in Yellow Springs OH pawnshop - $5. Somebody had painted it flat black. I made into a seven guitar. I put a little tiny high G string near the normal G. I drilled the tuning - back headstock. If you play it.... it would sound a little bit like a 12....

My hands are still cold..... it might side-effects in my bloodstream - old medicine
And my heater doesn't work very well. It works in the day ... not in the night.....

I'm in a very rural/suburban area. Fairfix, Northern California. I see right near my apartment in bears, coyotes, bobcats, wolves, salmon, large birds, commies, pinkos, snakes, lawyers, sheep, goats, there's a lot where I live. There's a lot of interesting stories - animals, humanity. There's a lot of Asian restaurants near my neighborhood - I never know eat pork, chicken or cat

That's why "I put that there because I liked it"........tbob
"Whimsy is as delicate as a butterfly wing. But "The Man in the Hat" sustains a whimsical tone beautifully throughout its brief running time, perhaps because co-writers/directors John-Paul Davidson and Stephen Warbeck add a touch of melancholy to keep it from becoming too cloying or cutesy. Somewhere between a dream and a fable, this is the kind of film viewers could debate for hours, pondering the meaning of the characters who keep reappearing, the mysterious framed photo, the central character who has only two lines of dialogue if you do not include an imitation of car engine noises.
None of the characters have names, only descriptions. Ciarán Hinds plays the title character, with an endless variety of lugubrious facial expressions, and we will just call him Hat. We first see Hat sitting alone at an outdoor cafe, looking gloomy. On the table beside him is a newspaper and a framed photograph of a woman, described later in the film as "beautiful but sad." He is there for hours, and we get the feeling he may be stuck. But five bald men get out of a Citroën Dyane and dump into the river a wrapped and taped up object about the size and shape of a dead body. The Citroën Dyane men spot Hat, who quickly decides he had better be where they are not. As they approach him menacingly, a group of nuns walk between them and by the time they are gone, Hat is, too. He drives off in his Fiat 500, the framed photo on the passenger seat behind him. The Citroën follows him, but he manages to get the Fiat onto a ferry, leaving them behind.
On the ferry is a woman in a red dress, who reappears several times along the way, looking at Hat with, what? Interest? Encouragement? Portent? The rest of the story is Hat's journey, and his mostly-wordless encounters with an assortment of characters along the way. He rescues a dog adrift in a boat and a handsome man dressed all in white stranded by a car that has broken down. He overhears stories, one about a husband who faked his own death with the help of law enforcement, told by the wife, who then took up with his twin brother. Ah, we may think. It's about dualities! That could explain the reappearances of several characters, including The Damp Man (Stephen Dillane) and a couple who are constantly holding up measuring tape to whatever is around them. Not to mention the bald men in the Citroën, who keep pursuing him. Or are they?
Another story Hat overhears is about an old man stuck in the mud, though it may have been a dream. We hear the classic French children's song about the ship that never sails. And we see a comically failed suicide attempt by The Damp Man. There is that framed photo of the woman, which has a surprising use near the end of the film, a chess match at a border checkpoint, and a surprisingly dark speech by a local official at a town festival, including a reference to "the abyss of oblivion." Oh, we may think. It's about grief! But then there is a whimsical solution to the problem of sauce dripped onto a shirt that is reminiscent of Jacques Tati, whose influence is felt throughout the film, with intricate, Rube Goldberg-like bits of comedy and bursts of pure, delightful absurdity.
Is it about death? Loss? Life? To debate it would be if not unfair, impolite to this gentle story. Much better to just go along for the ride and relish the lush French countryside, the luscious food, the lovely music, and to think of "The Man in the Hat" as in the title of the Baudelaire poem quoted in the film, an "Invitation to Travel."

I recommend Gervais' movie 'Cemetery Junction', and I REALLY recommend the original 'The Office'. I love British humor..... I seen a lot of PBS sitcoms - Laurie, Python, etc. Some of it can be too much.....Benny Hill. It was really funny but I don't think I see second time. There was a lot of humor in the 50s 60s 70s and 80s..... got a little differently in the 2000s - USA's TV
