There are rumours and disclosures that the non-profit stance contractually only lasts until mid-2021 (disclosure reveals that's definitely the case for Brazil). So to be even more cynical, AstraZeneca might even have a motive of their own to delay the process. And there are tons of delivery problems right now, apart from the trouble with the blood clots. Personally, I believe that governments should have paid almost whatever necessary. Economically, you gain much more by cutting the pandemic short than by spending more for privately-made vaccines.

So I see, this is how it goes every round. You can try to jump ahead, but eventually, you will be caught by the pack.

Shame on Tom Skerritt for not dying in order.

A lovely yahoo sports obit: https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/henry-darrow-high-chaparral-actor-184530027.html Well, it does look as if yahoo is a useful obit aggregator, like the Daily Mail for AP. Here, yahoo seemed to copy/paste a Variety obit. Edit: Curious how google shows me the sports one, but the uk.news one is valid as well.

In Germany, we're starting our third wave right now. Last week, we were almost, almost at an acceptable level again (which we define as the national incidence of below 50). Now it's increasing. Well, I've survived third-wave feminism, I will survive this one, too.

Picture of a senior person, with tired eyes, spotty red cheeks and an unhealthy colouring in general:

...cough... well in my opinion, Skyfall goes there.... Also, it has to be said, gay spies were very common in the cold war era. People without family attachments and able to be blackmailed, always subliminally subversive. For example here (I just checked for a short article): https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-35360172 Bruce Glover, the actor listed above, however, is the father of prominent actor Crispin Glover.

I am serious. An international force should invade Brazil and depose their government. I think Bolsonaro is an arch-demon walking the earth. They let the virus run wild and it's only a question of time until a mutation is created that makes all the vaccines useless.

Just because something is bad, misguided, useless, bad, boring, or bad, bad, bad, it doesn't need to be banned.

Luis Palau is Mr C's second unique hit after Larry Flynt. Neither of them were even secret names.

I'm pretty optimistic, though the most likely path, "veterans say farewell at the funeral" local BBC piece could be a few days away. But DDT picked him, too, he usually doesn't miss.

Excuse me? A fire in 2017, now his mattress combusted?? My theory: He smokes in bed and falls asleep.

Lovely article about our no. 18, children's books author and illustrator Janosch, for his 90th birthday: https://www.spiegel.de/familie/janosch-feiert-seinen-90-geburtstag-aussen-tiger-innen-ente-a-83f8595c-9942-486a-8d03-c89ed28c3aa7 He seems fine, and glad we are.

I just hate having unread threads. I even click on the "Coronavirus death toll" (?) thread every day even though I don't play in it.

Another one, Robert Ashby, of Arizona, dead at 95: https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/one-of-arizonas-last-surviving-tuskegee-airmen-passes-away-at-95 Well, he graduated in Nov 1945, so after WW II. I thought they all had to be WW II veterans, will it ever end...

British "controversial" conservative activist and general has-been Milo Yiannopoulos is now ex-gay, "sodomy-free" and wants to "rehabilitate conversion therapy". https://nypost.com/2021/03/10/milo-yiannopoulos-announces-he-is-ex-gay-and-sodomy-free/ I especially like this quote: "As far as his personal life, Yiannopoulos said of his husband: “The guy I live with has been demoted to housemate, which hasn’t been easy for either of us. It helps that I can still just about afford to keep him in Givenchy and a new Porsche every year. Could be worse for him, I guess.”"
