Virus Is Surging on Navajo Nation, Despite High Vaccination Rates

The Navajo Nation managed to tame COVID-19 earlier this year, mounting a campaign that drove its vaccination rate far above the U.S. average, after the virus ravaged the Navajo people. But now the nation — the largest reservation in the United States — is enduring yet another virus surge, and...

Are there any Ptolamaic scientists still practicing? Your best example is an ancient superstition?

It’s the big one which was used to suppress science and inquisite people

gave you a recent one: the covid models. Want anything one: the housing market figures in 2008

or google mathematical blunders. There are doozies.

I think it's funny how you STEM types have such a chip on your shoulder that non-STEM types (like me) are put in charge of your work because the money thinks you guys can't be trusted in your judgments. As usual, you are always good for a chuckle.

as were you with the "handwaiving' remark. It's a direct answer to the question you put. You can't then claim "handwaiving". Try again.

No! fence sitter? call me shocked!

Not forcing anything on you, we both live in the same system - two parties, two primaries, two candidates - then pick one. Specifically, the
last election couldn't have been any clearer. Both candidates had well-defined records, and for those of you for whom it matters, well defined personalities.

Let me try and clear up my point and ask again, specifically where did personality / mean / vulgar/tweets fit on your list of importance for the 2020 presidential election?

The reality is it mattered to quite a few people. The reality is that it cost Trump the election. As I always point out to dad4, you can live in the world you wish for, or you can live in the world we are in. Trump is toxic to a certain number of people who otherwise support his policies. You can go with him and increase the chances the rs will lose, or you can go with someone that will reflect his policies but be more palatable from a character point of view. Youngkin showed that was possible...he retained the R gaines among minorities and the working class, won back the suburbs.

I'll give you a chance to start over in response to "Some of the biggest nonsense on the planet is produced by mathematicians "

I responded thank you very much. I can't control your comprehension (or lack there of)

Great article!
Many of the Covid recovered were exposed to the virus as essential workers during the height of the pandemic before vaccines were available. They kept the rest of society afloat, processing food, delivering goods, unloading ships, picking up garbage, policing the streets, maintaining the electricity network, putting out fires, and caring for the old and sick, to name a few.


They are now being fired and excluded despite having stronger immunity than the vaccinated work-from-home administrators that are firing them.

They also have decriminalized shoplifting and other similar crimes and so retailers are saying enough and moving out due to losses.

I have something to say regarding this. I'll put it on the "Bad News Thread". I'm seeing things I haven't seen before and I am wondering whether it is also happening elsewhere.

Pathetic! This is the ball game - and their unions have hung them out to dry, they're going to spark a real insurrection.

They've always claimed to be for the proletariat. All socialist make the same claim.

More personality over policy nonsense.

Let me try it this way by combining the two. Trump had a very clear record. Given his extensive list of policies and accomplishments, specifically where on that list, in order of importance to you, would you rank his personality and mean tweets?

I have asked this many, many times before and got crickets. What accomplishments? What policies?

Re the bats: In the natural derivation scenario, the bats would have infected pangolins as an intermediate host at a site other than Wuhan (southern Asia, Africa, etc), leading to a co-infection cycle of bat and pangolin C-viruses within the same animals. Scales from these pangolins, or possibly live animals, were then transported to markets in Wuhan where CoV-2 made the jump. Genome sequence comparisons support the idea there are segments of both pangolin and bat C-virus present in CoV-2, suggesting recombination between the two viral genomes occurred. Such recombination events are hardwired into the the C-virus replicative cycle and are part of the reason this group of viruses can evolve so quickly. Whether these recombination events occurred naturally at a site other than Wuhan or as part of a laboratory study conducted in Wuhan is an unresolved question. But whether the bats are native to Wuhan does not weigh in on it directly. A thing to keep in mind is that, no matter the sequence of events in this particular case, CoV-2 could quite readily have arisen through a relatively well understood natural process. As humans come into new contact with co-evolved natural host-virus relationships around the globe, some virologists are predicting that we will be seeing more of these zoonotic outbreaks in the immediate future.

Bummer the State denied so many the opportunity for a natural viral update

LA sports mandate kicking in.....

With too few vaccinated players, Crenshaw won't participate in City Section playoffs

The Cougars do not have enough players vaccinated against COVID-19 to participate in the playoffs, according to coach

So, it's a policy that is excluding minorities at a higher rate. You know the fear is off the charts when the left will support something like that. I'm thinking Jay-Z would conclude those supporting the mandates have no use for linen shorts.

US Presidential elections are a binary process. US Presidents are also a representative of, for better or worse, the character and stature of the nation. I think records are more important, but character counts too. Whether that's enough to cost or gain my vote depends on who the other side puts up against him. I'd prefer to have someone else in 2024 for the simple reason that I can guess on the likely D choice and I'd rather have someone with good policy and good character beat that D choice. The reality is, whether you agree or not, Trump is poison for many people, like my mom or my writer friend, both of whom are lifelong Rs, but are both NeverTrumpers.

Prior to 2016, I couldn't imagine someone with character so bad that I'd vote for Hilary Clinton. Then it happened. Based on how he handled himself after the election he lost, I am at peace voting for Hilary and a cardboard cutout over Trump. It never even got to policy with him.

I didn't vote for either of them and I like to think that was the correct vote.

I hate that term

that’s not where Rs problems are. Trump made Hispanic gains too. Trumps problem is with upper middle class voters that look down on his character and his manners. Ds btw held onto the rich neighborhoods…they do private, like the immigration for cheap labor and houses, feel guilty so the wokensss, have fewer economic concerns.
