The other thing to keep an eye on is the senate. From what we have seen these past few years, that is where the real power lies.  From what I have been reading, it seems that the Democratic party has an outside chance of getting a majority there, but only if everything goes their way.  More likely is the Republican party holding on.  Will just have to see what happens.

Going to be an "interesting" next few months!

Cheers,

Maurice
One thing the polls indicate is where the independents are going and it's to Biden, unlike what we saw in 2016.

How to make a face mask if you don't sew. A public service.

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Good post. It's the multiple layering that's really important here. When I go back to work in the clinic on Monday, I'll be wearing the n95 surgical mask and I'll coat it with the wetness from a sani-wipe throughout the day in addition to other PPE. Or, I may try to affix the saniwipe to the outside of the mask as a chemical barrier. Ultimately though, if the virus  becomes aerosolized, nothing will stop it unless you're in a hazmat suit.

Suing China To Recover Damages While They Sue Us

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Multiple lawsuits have been filed against China in relation to their alleged role in the Coronavirus outbreak.
Meanwhile the Chinese are suing the US claiming:
a Chinese lawyer recently sued the United States and various U.S. government departments for their alleged “cover-up” of the pandemic; another Chinese suit seeks compensation for “reputational damage done by President Donald Trump’s use of the phrase ‘the Chinese virus’ to describe the coronavirus.”
But:
"Simply put, any scholar or practitioner with working knowledge of the law of foreign sovereign immunity would have taken one look at the headlines about these lawsuits (as I did) and assess immediately that there is no basis for jurisdiction in a U.S. court. (There would also likely be grounds to dismiss for failure to state a claim, forum non conveniens, and other defects in service or pleadings.)"
