Quarantine Day #168.
Last night I was very tired but managed to stay up
until 9:45 before going to bed. I didn’t have a deep sleep but I certainly
needed all that time with my eyes closed. I got up once during the night, finally
waking/getting up at 8am.
Last night I did not play
on Chess.com.
I emailed my absentee ballot
request to Cook County, IL.
I had an hour nap after
lunch.
Teresa beat me in
parcheesi today 6 games to 4. Well, my idea to add Play-Doh to the parcheesi
pawns didn’t work out as planned; it all eventually fell out of the pawns.
The
National Institutes of Health on Tuesday released a statement undercutting
the Food and Drug Administration's emergency authorization of convalescent
plasma as a coronavirus treatment — an escalation of an extraordinary public
disagreement between federal agencies.
Why
it matters: Thankfully,
the main question surrounding the treatment is whether it works, not whether
it's safe. But this feud could erode public trust in any future coronavirus
treatments and vaccines, potentially for good reason.
Driving
the news: An
NIH panel of experts reviewed the existing evidence on convalescent plasma,
including the FDA's analysis, and determined that "there are currently no
data from well-controlled, adequately powered randomized clinical trials that
demonstrate the efficacy and safety of convalescent plasma for the treatment of
COVID-19."
President Donald Trump suggested that people in
North Carolina should vote twice in the November election, once by mail and once
in person, escalating his attempts to cast confusion and doubt on the validity
of the results.
"So let
them send it in and let them go vote, and if their system's as good as they say
it is, then obviously they won't be able to vote. If it isn't tabulated,
they'll be able to vote," Trump said when asked whether he has confidence
in the mail-in system in North Carolina, a battleground state.
"If it's
as good as they say it is, then obviously they won't be able to vote. If it
isn't tabulated, they'll be able to vote. So that's the way it is. And that's
what they should do," he said.
It is illegal
to vote more than once in an election.
The president of the
United States is asking North Carolinians to commit voter fraud. Isn’t he just begging
to go to jail after he leaves office?
The
US has 6,041,885 ð 6,087,779 ð 6,117115 coronavirus cases
with 183,400 ð 184,500+ ð 185,200+ deaths.
Per
Medellin Guru, as of this afternoon Colombia has a total of 615,168 ð 624,069 ð 633,339 cases with 20,348 deaths. Medellin has 47,284 ð 47,937 ð 48,689 cases, an increase of 732 from September 1st to 2nd. Envigado has a total of 2,510

Joke of
the day
A duck
hunter was out enjoying a nice morning on the marsh when he decided to take a
leak behind a tree.
He walked
over to a tree and propped up his gun. Just then a gust of wind blew and knocked
the gun over, to the hunter's horror, it discharged, shooting him in the genitals.
Fortunately for him, some hunters nearby heard his scream and called an
ambulance.
Several
hours later, lying in a hospital bed he was approached by his doctor.
"Well
sir, I have some good news and some bad news. Which would you like to hear
first?"
"Tell me
the good news first, please," said the hunter.
"Well,
the good news is that you are going to be OK. The damage was local to your
groin, there was very little internal damage, and we were able to remove all of
the buckshot."
"What's
the bad news then?' asked the hunter.
"The
bad news is that there was some pretty extensive buckshot damage done to your
penis. I'm going to have to refer you to my brother.”
"Oh no,
I mean, at least I'm alright, I feared the worst. I guess it could be worse,'
the hunter replied. 'Is your brother a plastic surgeon?''
“Not
exactly...' answered the doctor delicately.
'He's a flute player in the local symphony.
He's going to teach you where to put your fingers so you don't piss all over
the bathroom.'”
