Glimmer of Hope

Well, according to the New York Times:

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on Wednesday that he was starting to see “some glimmers of hope,” but epidemiologists warned that a return to pre-pandemic life won’t happen safely anytime soon.
i don’t know what data he sees, but I don’t see the same glimmer of hope that he sees. At least given the data available on https://covidtracking.com, the rate of increase in cases and deaths is still increasing in most states. It’s not exponential, like x squared, but like I saw in another article, a Seattle epidemiologist said that the rate at which those who have the coronavirus are passing it onto more than one person, the infection rate is is going to increase. The plateau is only going to come when that rate drops below one. And since certain locales still haven’t enacted social distancing edicts, stupid people are going to enable the virus to spread.

I mean, I’m more libertarian as libertarian as some people claim to be, but come on stupid people, you’re as self-centered as they come. No wonder most people conflate libertarianism with nutcases. “Liberty” isn’t “I live in a vacuum, only I matter.” I’m fine with people isolating from modern society, because it morally bankrupt. But isolate completely. And your “religious” beliefs are those of the Devil 👿. They have nothing to do with the Bible.

CapitalOne provides misleading information on their website

Image
 Well, this time, I have new info about dishonest corporations. I went on the CapitalOne website to make a payment on my credit card. As you can see, the date of the transaction is 11/8 and the webpage clearly states my payment is not due until tomorrow, 11/9 at 8 pm ET. Look further down the page and see that they’ve charged me a late fee. And in a really small typeface, they give the due date as 11/7. I called CapitalOne and they insisted that the due date was 11/7. They finally relented and credited me back the $27 late fee after a 17 minute phone call. And they refused to take responsibility for the bogus information on their website, that’s what got me pissed off. CapitalOne is like most large corporations, unethical.

Lies Will Always Be Lies

 According to the Wall Street Journal: Fox’s Dobbs, Bartiromo and Pirro Ask Court to Dismiss Defamation Suit Cable-news hosts say they were covering and commenting on newsworthy claims Why do fake journalists resort to lies and other "alternative facts" when they should provably know the false narrative is only their attempt to placate their radical audience? The only thing the far right wing media knows to do is to deflect blame. So much for personal responsibility that the far right espouses. The far right never accepts responsibility, it only demands others to follow the rules they set.

Officially Hot

 Well, it’s officially hot here in Las Vegas. I was sitting outside reading a geek book on my ipad and the ipad gave up the ghost. The screen showed some graphic and said the ipad had to cool down before it could be used more. The thermometer says its 112 at 2 pm. I guess its time to revert to physical books, at least they don’t overheat at temperatues seen here in Vegas.
