Same with Covid "Focus on the flu Not Coronavirus" https://cbs6albany.com/news/local/focus-on-the-flu-not-the-coronavirus-urges-gov-cuomo
what's it like in the East? Has the whole State drunk the Southern California Kool-Aide? Very Sad. I visited Portland 15 years ago, just as the old riverfront was being converted into upscale housing. Be excellent to yourself and others. MAGA!
to clarify BBC was always biased, but the style is "news based" - the anchor delivers a 3 minute story and moves on to the next, so the viewer is getting 15-20 stories in a half-hour. (excluding late night shows) OAN is like this style, like the BBC, except that if chooses conservative stories.
In contrast, FOX, CNN, MSNBC typically have hour long programs that discuss 4 or 5 pre-planned topics, with a feel-good story at the end.
OAN is more in line with BBC, in that it is straight news reporting (the difference is the editing of which stories are told). FOX is like MSNBC or CNN, looking to get viewers to tune-in. It's not bad if you're just looking for eye candy or get a sense of the topics du jour, but 30 mins of OAN will actually get you up to speed on World events.
I remember those guys (Black Israelites) outside the Port Authority Bus Terminal (42nd St NY) in the 90's. Strange breed & sadly, they killed Detective Joseph Seals, Jersey City Police Dept and 4 others last December. https://www.npr.org/2019/12/10/786803619/at-least-1-officer-dead-after-jersey-city-standoff
to gently add: "Nicotine" but not tobacco. I've read the nicotine may help prevent dementia and other mental afflictions. That said, smoking tobacco will fuck up your airways and may do you in, before your brain has a chance to go. But nicotine, in its pure form (minus the tobacco leaf tar), is a stimulate with some side effects.

I 100% agree with this. My friend died of it, while other members of my family got it and recovered. I think about AIDS in the 1980's and it took them years to discover HIV, let alone work for treatments. COVID, which we've only known about for 9 months, attacks many people differently (blood clots in every organ, vs lung damage). There is more to this virus than we know. I think people are doing the best they can, but these hyper nuts are not helping.
Krav maga and other martial arts.
As far as weapons, a Crossbow, while effective for long distances, is not useful in close contact. It is quite a process to load and draw.
I'd say wasp spray, knives martial arts and baseball bat can handle a wide array of situations.

If Michigan truly went for Biden, then NV becomes a must-win State.
