Such bad news. If it werenât such a serious issue, I would applaud anything that could break the hold of the LDS on so many people in Utah and elsewhere.

this is the first iâve heard of this, and Nevada has a not-insignificant amount of Mormons. i wonder if this will start to get more traction here as other (bigger) stories fade this week.

isolated in the Governorâs Mansion while receiving monoclonal antibody treatment, which can help Covid-19 patients who are at risk of getting very sick.
Must be nice to hide away in your mansion and get high-end medical care while the everyone else suffers the consequences of your actions.

She was Irish in the nineteen-oh-whatsits, so yes, she was unfairly demonized, but she was also a murderous asshole.
- This is contrary to current global practice and WHO advice.
- This will further exacerbate the current situation of a vaccine shortage in the Global South and massive hoarded stockpiles in the USA.
- This is designed to create the illusion of action within the USA without actually doing anything to address the current crisis.

So supply the hospitals first and then turbocharge the factories. These are small consumer units theyâre talking about, not high-end medical gear.
They need HEPA filters, but nothing super-fancy; they should not be hard to produce en masse.
