2 children of Turkish immigrants.

All the immigrants we get here are druggies, rapists and murderers.

 

yeah but we don't know what they do in their spare time do we? just because there's no evidence of them being terrorists, doesn't mean that they're not.

 

True that. Anyone who can mix up a vaccine can whip up a bomb.

 

Pfizer’s vaccine must be stored at about -70° C (-94° F) - a temperature only specialized freezers can produce. Not many facilities have these ultra cold freezers.

Other vaccines may not need this.

 

thanks as always hubba. much appreciated.

 

Still remember those days on the potato chips front like it was yesterday

That's kind of what I initially meant to try to tease out.

My brother works as a manger of logistics (in Europe) for a major player in moving and selling wholesale medicines.chemicals, etc. They deal with supply chains for a lot of the Major players and he reckons that these super freezr supply-deployment chains already largely exist.
The miscommunication that I see that's developing is that the Press are not specifically defining if this "cold storage requirement temperature" is (or is not) actually a lower temp requirement than the standard freezing temperature that a vast majority of medicinals are already required to be transported and stored at.

Or something like that .......

 

It is lower than normal. But hubba says the infrastructure exists to some extent.

 

great news from Moderna - 95% effective, plus it doesn't require the super-low temps.

 

Yeah fine but they're too late

 

oh, don't talk nonsense.

the Pfizer vaccine's storage requirements are a huge negative (especially for hot climates).

and the world needs as much effective vaccine as it can get.

 

Does this one require a double shot?


Yes, make mine a double.

 

Im calling red moon

 

I have no clue what that's supposed to mean.

 

yep.

 

That the race is over and thats not important what other vaccines might come in the next weeks. It was clear that we would get one vaccine or rather several ones. The interesting thing was who does it first especially considering mRNA is a fairly new technique. Hence, "the moon is red"

 

He's saying Germany is the greatest country and has the greatest people that have ever walked this planet. Duh.

 

Fine to be proud of your country. The Germans have given us Porsches, Wagner, Reisling and currywurst. Not bad at all. Plus all that great humor and humility.

 

And Jurgen Klopp .

 

So, as we bash Trump and Trump voters, and herald the new kinder, smarter Biden administration, let's keep the key context for our recent politics in mind: Over the past 30 years, the wealth of the top 1% of the population has grown by close to 600%. the wealth of the bottom 50% of the population has grown by 77% over the same period. In 2020, the top 10% of households - those who have participated in the new global, digital, service-driven economy - control close to 70% of the total wealth. The bottom 50% of households control 1.9% of total wealth. That decimal point is not a typo.

Trump as a phenomenon is not about Trump - he is a symptom not a cause. Our politics is not driven by race and gender so much as by economics and class. Going to take a lot of work to fix this underlying issue if you want to see the end of extreme politics and insurrectionist populists going forward. Pretty volatile situation.

 

well said.

 

that makes sense, certainly compared to what he wrote.

 

The race isn't over until one (or more) get official approval.
