Pam

I am getting 30000 emails from my HOA because they think I am wondering what they can do to help me navigate these troubling times during COVID19. I never once asked myself "How can my HOA help, during a pandemic?" Not. Once.

It was a trend.

Ugh, that bites, Indy

The only thing that makes this tolerable is that the masks that the nurses need are not the same cheap shit that Subway is giving away ... and they won't protect anyone from anything.

Mostly about the spread of the virus and about how bad things can/will get. If things don't get bad here in the U.S. (and we've gone past that at this point, since we've surpassed China) it will be because public health measures have succeeded, not because the potential of the virus was overhyped.

I'm an informatics epidemiologist.

Me too and it's my job

I wouldn't trust just Windows defender alone, to answer your original question. I added the third-party AV software, and Avast was the one I chose. McAfee and Norton are, IMO, full of bloat and I've had bad experiences with both.

I gotta say ... If I'd known that all it would take was a pandemic to become an epidemiologist .... I probably would have saved myself years of education and experience, and certainly a lot of money . But a lot of y'all are way wrong about a lot of things in this thread.

Hey .... PotO. You doin' okay? Having a good Saturday? Good, good. Just as a heads up for ya while I got your attention. That's your last freebie at being an asshat, because I've been reading along lately and your cracks at other members and general bigotry, mysogyny, and other traits that don't really fit into the "be nice to each other, be nice to ourselves, be nice to the world" model that we want to embody here at CB have hit my last nerve, and I'm gonna have a lot more free time coming up. So, dial it back, and if you don't have something nice or something productive to say, maybe refrain from clicking on that "Submit Reply" button, mmmkay? Otherwise you're going to go on moderation, and the mod squad will be instructed to wait for me to approve your posts, and I'll get busy again, perhaps artificially so, yanno?

One of the Bahamian ports has a novelty passport stamp, I got my passport stamped and never had an issue. Honestly, no one has really ever looked at my other stamps that closely.
