Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*Moscow Mitch by Chip Proser* *by Noah* It's not enough for a sociopathic traitor like Moscow Mitch McConnell to follow the lead of Donnie Psycho and strive to get as many Americans as possible infected with a plague. No, rather than delivering enough federal money to help states like New York and Illinois that are financially straining due to the coronavirus, Moscow Mitch smirks the smirk of a psycho and suggests that such states should just declare bankruptcy. Mr. Moscow also made a point of oh so cutely calling the bailouts of democratic states "Blue State Bailouts." So clever, ... more »

‘Contact tracing’ – they are repackaging Big Brother
They are really good at repackaging aka rebranding. You need to be to sell an unpleasant truth. They did this with NZ’s Rogernomics, calling ‘wrecking your country’ ‘restructuring’. They did it with 1080 poison, rebranding it with a nicer fancier name.

*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Technology, * Is the dish doomed thanks to streaming?

Which Group of People Are at Risk of Being Undercounted in the 2020 Census?
*Aviva Rutkin, Emily Costello* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] A few groups are at particular risk of being undercounted. The census aims to count everyone in the U.S. Of course, that’s not so easy. Overall, the 2010 census was accurate, with a net overcount of just 0.01%. Still, some 16 million people were likely omitted from the final count. The data that the Census Bureau gathers is used to make important decisions about congressional apportionment and federal funding. So, if one county is undercounted more than another, that may mean that they are less well represented ... more »
Coronavirus Can Affect the Heart of Those Without a Heart Disease
*David C Gaze* *Health, World* [image: Reuters] People with existing heart disease are worse affected by COVID-19, but the virus can also affect the heart in people without heart disease.

Yet surprisingly, people with lung disease, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) account for only 6% of severe COVID-19 cases. These statistics are similar in patient reports from China, I... more »

Update To Yesterday's Look At The Republican Crooks Looting The Paycheck Protection Program
*Totally In Control by Nancy Ohanian* I didn't know a lot of very rich people until I started working for them in the '90s when I moved to Los Angeles to work for Time-Warner. One of the first things I learned is that, generally-- and yes there are exceptions-- the richer the person, the greedier and more unscrupulous the person. That's how they got rich or maintained their wealth. There's no more recognizable example than Señor Trumpanzee and his personal corruption is reflected by his stinking, swampy regime and the officials he's appointed to run it.
