In concert with DSL's penchant for post about stuff nobody gives a shit about (except you fuckers should) this is very good piece on what needs to done going forward as the COVID pandemic becomes an epidemic. Well, at least folks are writting about what most of us here have been talking about for 3 months. The Cliff notes:

• How to measure COVID disease impact and then use these metrics to establish when to impose and when to ease various mitigation measures.
• In determining which mitigation to measure (duh) ...... evaluate the benefits v. the cost.
• Recognize that disease impact (however one plans to measure it) will vary widely by geographic locations.
• Recognize that disease impact as age related and impose and ease mitigation measures accordingly (fuck yeah .... we've been talking about this here for a month now).
• Recognize that the over 50 population is at the highest risk of more serious cases of COVID and prioritize policy approaches to protect this age cohort.

McAuliffe was facing headwinds and made things worse by his dumbass "no parents shouldn't have a say in what students are taught" remark (paraphrasing). That's largely relevant to the DC burbs where turnout is extremely high. What could go unnoticed is that at least right now it looks like Dem turnout around Richmond and the Hampton Roads was a total disaster. Biden beat Trump in Richmond city 92,000 to 16,000. A lot needs to be reported but it's pretty obvious McAuliffe won't get anywhere close to that. He can maybe hope for a 30,000 vote win.

Turnout overall, though, is gonna be pretty high for a governor’s race. And the Rs are winning everywhere.

Unless the article is about transgender issues, Jeff, I'm afraid this crowd will regard it as frivolous and of little importance to their day-to-day lives.

Now if you can find anything juicy about a Brandeis sophomore declaring themselves to be of five different genders and three species to boot, please share with the therapy group. They have a lot of repressed anger they'd like to express.

Hello everybody!

Yes, true, it could be close to Presidential year turnout in the end.

Little point I've seen mentioned here and there: Youngkin won the nomination through a state convention run by party insiders. Had an actual primary election been held, quite possible someone very Trumpy would have won.

That’s very interesting. I’ve come to the conclusion that primaries, at least for president, fucking suck and tend to produce the worst candidates.

Primaries generally suck. Huge problem, IMO.

NJ is gonna be closer than it should be. Again, best thing for Ds is that it’s not 2022

Murphy won 56-42 in 2017 for reference. He ran against Chris Christie's Lt. Gov who might as well been road kill.

Any word on Question 2 in Minneapolis?

CNN projecting it's a "No."
As it should... can't believe ~40% of the voters actually wanted to reform it. WAY to progressive for my liking.
