    Despite risk of losing federal funds, state closes H-3 Freeway for another round of testing
    The Federal Highway Administration said it was extremely concerned about precedent, safety issues, gathering of data and traffic.

    they must be serious about less testing. after asking permission from the feds to set up the surge testing deemed necessary for our public health department to slow the outbreak on Oahu before the Labor Day weekend, they denied permission to use the federal H3 freeway as a testing site and threatened to cut off hiway funds if we did. our governor said do it anyway. an example of putting the publics' health ahead of any other political agenda.

    I'm sorry. I would have sworn that you mentioned a requirement that they come from the United States. And I must have dreamed saying that they ought to be U.S. born because of an allegiance thingy and how that made sense. Would you knock this silly shit off?
    I don't want someone telling me I can't vote for my preferred candidate because they have too much experience in the job. That just doesn't make sense to me.
    The last time I favored term limits was when I was 16 and frankly, not too bright.

    Thalidomide should have taught us that lesson.

    I worked in drug development. The idea of rushing a vaccine without phase 3 is horrifying. It would only make sense for a treatment given to people with highly lethal disease like HIV, people who already had it and choice was take chances on drug before testing complete or die. A vaccine by definition is given to people who do not have the disease. This is a political announcement. However, Trump when not saying it will magically disappear has promised all kinds of things and never delivered.

    My girl always insists I have a bag over my head when we have sex. Didn't know why until now!

    Thank god you’re not. It would be bad to have government officials with their hands in the pharmaceutical industry, there might be an opioid crisis or something :emotions:
