You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

FYI, I have added an RSS feed from RR to the Capitol Hill Blue home page to let CHB readers know what are the current and hot topics from the forum.

You no longer have to leave the US and travel to exotic lands, to contract malaria, leprosy, or dengue fever. And best of all, you can enjoy Disney World at the same time! All three have outbreaks in Central Florida.
Hurricane Hilary is headed right at me. Fortunately, our ocean temp is only 68 so it will just be a tropical storm by Sunday night when it gets here.
Thank You Big Oil.

All three have outbreaks in Central Florida. Republicans are turning red states into third-world countries with their policies and the people Republicans hire to run agencies.

Oh...it's gets better in Flori-duh! Florida officials report five deaths from 'flesh-eating' bacteria in Tampa Bay since JanuaryFive people are confirmed dead in the Tampa Bay area because of a flesh-eating bacterium known to lurk at beaches, Florida officials reported.
According to Florida Health, the vibrio vulnificus bacterium's natural habitat is in warm, brackish seawater because it requires salt to live. The bacteria typically grow more quickly in warmer months.

I wonder what Wednesday's hurricane will do to Florida's west coast with regard to that vibrio. Storm surge and floodwater could be filled with it. Most lethality is in immunocompromised patients, even with aggressive antibiotic treatment. Like in the elderly. Could this be the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse, come for them en masse?
