Not planning or anticipating for the future by this administration continues to keep us vulnerable. Is that the point?
“Maybe a better way to look at this is ‘people preparedness’. One way for people to be prepared (for the next pandemic) is to be healthier, eat better and exercise, so you’re less likely to get sick or have a poor outcome,” Powers added.
Right. This will protect you from a novel pathogen.🤦♂️

Seattle loves its #Seahawks football team. Downtown feels packed and the cheers are loud for the #SuperBowl champs. People were lining up along Fourth Avenue curbs at 8 a.m. and the buzz built slowly during the three hour wait to see the parade.

Estimates of 1 million 12's crowded street after street 30 deep and up to ~50(?) deep onto side streets to cheer the Hawks who loved them right back by joining those in the street. Go Hawks!
I love how a bunch of the players are walking and interacting with the 12s! #Seahawks

Such a memorable scene and so well acted. Teaching Is hard.
Dave Filoni's greatest creative accomplishment was making PT Anakin and TCW Anakin the same character. Hayden Christensen never got to be the Anakin that Obi-Wan told Luke about. But thankfully, Filoni gave Hayden the chance to be that Anakin.
He finally got to be the real Anakin Skywalker.

Aprapos of recent photos and glove wearing presidents: Pirates were presented with a "black spot" to officially pronounce a verdict of guilt or judgement. In Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest, "The Black Spot" is source of fear, a sign that a pirate has been cursed or marked for death.

Interesting and makes sense. Hope they include DC 0-5 at the same time for infants and toddlers.
The current edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual is known as the DSM-5. What will the next version be called? That's one of several open questions as the "Bible of psychiatry" goes online. n.pr/49LG0vk
