“He is technically correct. Many people are going to work today and tomorrow with Corona. They are showing no symptoms. They may never show symptoms or only very minor ones. They will ‘recover’ from an illness they may never know they have. They are unaware they have it. This is turning out to be one of the most insidious ways it is spread.

— Daniel Jackson
“The true business of our government is to prepare for the next wars and cut taxes for the rich. We do everything else on a part-time basis and on the cheap.”
— Aime K Kan
“Thanks for sharing. This behavior in men was always praised by other men in my youth. It’s nice to see it put in perspective. Our brains sure can override our best intentions.”
