Well Omicron decided to pay a visit and we had to shut down because we're all staying away to avoid transmitting it to patients.

Seems fine so far. Just a mild chest cold with everyone's favorite symptom, ridiculous tachycardia.

Boston-area news radio station WBZ 1030 (sister station of the local CBS TV affiliate) has a nightly talk show that covers local politics and current events. The first segment of last night's episode featured an interview with the Massachusetts Medical Society about the likelihood of a mask mandate in the near future and their safety recommendations that are being presented to the state government.

Following the interview, the host opened up the phone lines to the audience. They did not disappoint.

Here are the first two listener calls in their entirety.


"Susan in Florida," who claimed to be a former research assistant at the Harvard School of Public Health.




"Steven in New Hampshire," who appears to have legitimate brain damage.

Steven owns. He has his finger on the pulse of that mysterious disease that's killing children worldwide. 6 kids died from it in NYC but not Boston. Boston saved all the kids!

Meanwhile TB kills a quarter of a million kids a year globally.
 
1. That's cringe and it can be interpreted as snake venom that cannot be cured.

2. But they do ? They might not go door to door, but there are drug pushers that try their best to hook up new people. And those pushers get their stuff from cartels.
The only differences is that one of them decides which drugs are legal and which are illegal. And the other is selling drugs without paying taxes.
 
Southwest CEO said masks don't do much on planes at maskless Senate hearing. He tested positive for COVID the next day.

Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelly has tested positive for COVID-19 just two days after a high-profile Senate commerce committee hearing in Washington, D.C.

Kelly, who recently announced plans to retire in early 2022, tested positive after experiencing mild symptoms, Southwest spokeswoman Brandy King said. She said he tested negative "multiple'' times before the hearing. He is fully vaccinated and received the booster earlier this year, she said.

"Gary is doing well and currently resting at home,'' King said via email.

Kelly drew some criticism at the meeting for his comments about the effectiveness of mask wearing on planes. Masks are mandated on planes and in airports, and the federal policy was recently extended into March.

"I think the case is very strong that masks don't add much, if anything, in the air cabin environment," Kelly said during the hearing. "It is very safe and high-quality compared to any other indoor setting."

Kelly and other top airline executives were not wearing masks during the meeting of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.

In the interest of contact tracing, Kelly informed others who spoke at the hearing of his positive test.

Sara Nelson, international president of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, said she was notified by Kelly shortly after he tested positive and as she was returning to work after getting the booster.

"I am following CDC protocols and will test several times within the 5-7 day recommended period, and before traveling with my family for the holidays,'' Nelson said in a statement.

Kelly was seated between American Airlines CEO Doug Parker and United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby at the hearing.

Parker is being tested this afternoon, American spokesman Curtis Blessing said. Kirby has already tested negative.

John Laughter, Delta Air Lines' chief of operations and the airline's representative at the hearing, tested negative today and on Thursday, Delta spokesman Morgan Durrant said.

 
Wait, the sixth let it through?

:story:
Here's the actual decision:

And for anyone afraid of clicking on the actual NYT site I attach the PDF.

Nobody on the pro-vax side should be particularly ecstatic and nobody on the anti-mandate side should be particularly despondent, this is a 2-1 panel decision entirely about whether an emergency temporary stay should be dissolved. The majority concludes it should be and the rule should take effect.

It says fairly little about the ultimate result of the challenge, especially considering it is a 2-1 result. You will probably not be surprised by the fact the dissenter is a Trump appointee. The other two are an Obama and a Dubya appointee.

Incidentally the procedural history is pretty insane, with a panel of the Sixth Circuit somehow winning an actual lottery among circuits in this multijurisdictional litigation and ending up overruling a decision by a panel of the Fifth Circuit. Umm. . .okay, I guess so. Whatever.

It's apparently authorized by 28 U.S.C. § 2112(a)(3). It says this:

The judicial panel on multidistrict litigation shall, by means of random selection, designate one court of appeals, from among the courts of appeals in which petitions for review have been filed and received within the ten-day period specified in the first sentence of paragraph (1), in which the record is to be filed, and shall issue an order consolidating the petitions for review in that court of appeals.

I'd like to know what those judges actually do. Do they flip a series of coins? Put of bunch of balls in one of those keno game things? That shit has me fascinated because I'd love to see that shit televised.

So this is apparently how a Sixth Circuit panel overruled a supposedly co-equal panel of the Fifth Circuit. In a game of chance.

Realistically? Forever. Republicans and Conservatives are pretty dumb and retain everything they think will benefit them and only them.

Conspiracy theories never change, only the details. I mean, blood libel is absurd, quite literally medieval antisemitic propaganda that claims Jews kidnap children to ritually use their blood for shit like baking passover matzo. And yet there are people right now who believe a shadowy, ill-defined group of "elites" is trafficking children en masse so they can harvest adrenochrome from their brains for use in satanic rituals.
