Er, I guess?

From a tri-cities paper:

COVID outbreak after Eastern WA wedding doubles and spreads to schools, nursing home
https://www.tri-cityherald.com/news/cor … ted_inline

The number of people with COVID-19 infections traced to a large wedding near Ritzville in Eastern Washington has doubled in 24 hours.

More than 300 people attended the Nov. 7 wedding, even though wedding receptions in the area where it was held were then limited by the state to just 30 guests.

More cases are expected to be confirmed as the investigation continues.

Tuesday evening the Grant County Health District staff said known cases from the superspreader event were approaching 40 in that county, up from 17 known on Monday evening.

Anyway I'm on the sound corridor. Drive in any direction that isn't the water far enough and you're in rural territory for awhile, sure.

OMG, just follow the rules or go somewhere else and stop harassing teenage workers. What a twit. I bet he got on facebook and compared himself to Rosa Parks or something like that.

Just watched my city council's zoom meeting live, and it's hard not to regard them with some amount of disdain. Chuckling about how inconsistent they are with masks at in-person meetings, or (when I was half paying attention) how some areas are now harder to afford living in, all from their relatively lavish, or at least upper middle class living rooms. Give me a break.

They're like a junior Seattle council, which has also been criticized in the past for laughs and smirks at citizen questions or concerns.

so, just like with the 'assimilated' turks who found the first vaccine, you have nothing to say about thatcher's department at oksferd contributing to the world's best vaccine solution yet. it's amazing how wrongheaded you are in your blundering prejudices, isn't it?

you've tried to make out she wasn't a 'real scientist' because of her education. the place she was educated is a world-leader in science.

i'm applying your own bizarre logic back at you. i don't think a person's undergraduate certificate has much at all to do with their career achievements. undergraduate is typically not even the start of it.

Well as you know there is a total disconnect between undergraduate teaching and research so I have no idea what your point is supposed to be.

The degree people do is in large part a reflection of their personality type.

thatcher worked in a scientific lab after graduation. she more directly used her science education than you ever have. your application is vocational in contrast, not research-based. you don't get to be a spokesperson and arbiter of 'science' and then exclude someone with thatcher's resume. it's that simple.

how do degrees determine personality type? perhaps in your autistic koi pond. every sort of personality does every sort of subject in the 'real world.

Thtacher did three years as a graduate working on plastics and ice-cream - cutting edge stuff - before she gave up and got married.

I'm a technologist, I've done plenty of technologing thanks.

People with different personality types pick particular subjects and career paths.
Arrogant corrupt morons pick arts at oxsferd then go into politics it seems.
Or there is something about the place which perverts people.

all of the people you take as examples come from a very specific socio-economic class, the traditional 1%, eton, harrow, public school, oxford, etc. 80% of the students in oxford's humanities faculty do not have that background. you are diagnosing a problem with the british class system and the way power operates (and is inherited), not a particular problem with an institution. lots of state-school kids go to oksferd and do english (or grammar school kids do chemistry, a la thatcher).

OK but take a look at the last 30 years of British govt failure.

If they were all UCL biologists people would be asking questions.

odd, because +10 years from 30 years ago there was widespread chaos and dissatisfaction caused by a long-reigning oxford chemist.

If anything happens to my loved ones thanks to COVID, I am still not going to be personally angry at China for it. Our disaster here is our own doing. The average American has absolutely no stake in the great power contest between China and the U.S.

Just got back from taking my covid test. It was a throat swab test this time. Slightly less intrusive than the nasal swab, but not by much.

She wasn't really a proper chemist, it wasn't her first choice subject and only did it because it would get her into Oxford.

you are so utterly tedious to talk to.

a person with a chemistry degree ‘isn’t a real chemist’ but an opportunist. but a person who does history and spends three years at the oxford union networking and preparing for a political career is a definite, life-long, bona fide HISTORIAN!

your head is full of slop.

yes, the same university that also produced the world's first low-cost, fridge-temp vaccine.

you might want to work on your thesis.
