Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away
The Houston Heath Department is trying to create a contact tracing department. Got a call from a recruiter yesterday asking about interest. I don't live in Houston anymore and am happy with my current job so I declined. Would've been a great opportunity though. According to the recruiter, there are a lot of openings and the city wants to fill them as quickly as possible. Here's a list of the openings if anyone's interested or knows anyone that would be. https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/houston?keywords=contact tracing

Donald Trump 2020
Having a family hold up a check intended to a family member who died of COVID-19 with Trump's name on it would be one hell of a campaign ad for Biden. Just add a couple of 'hoax' and 'we got it under control' clips.

The main theory is that Germany is testing people at a far higher rate than other countries and they started early. They've also seen more cases in their youth than Italy. The median age infected in Germany is 47 compared to 63 in Italy. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/why-are-so-few-germans-dying-coronavirus-experts-wonder-n1168361

Takeout in the time of Coronavirus
Had takeout at Clementine in San Antonio a couple of days ago and thought it was great. Saw Mayor Nirenberg's wife there waiting for food, so if he's not worried about it I'm not going to worry about it.

I can't help thinking about NowThis's post now every time I hear or read something about Kobe's death. That url could not be any funnier- Raleigh
Raleigh Beer Garden has 366 taps in their establishment making it the Guinness world record holder for the largest selection of draft beer. Food is standard pub food. Also Brewery Bhavana is another place with a great selection of beer (some they make themselves) and the food is excellent. Was named one of Bon Appetit's best 10 new restaurants a couple years ago.- John Lewis has cancer
- Donald Trump 2019
Man, fuck all these news organizations who gave Trump such a prominent platform all these years. After his housing discrimination cases and his reaction to the the Central Park jogger case they should’ve realized what a racist piece of dogshit he is. He should’ve gotten the Jimmy the Greek or Michael Richards treatment decades ago. Why the hell was that interview necessary?- Bourbon

I think this is a more of a testament to how awful South Carolina and Miami are. Assuming, of course, Wake keeps this up. They play BC in Chestnut Hill next week. That’ll be the test to see if they’re actually legit or not.- North Carolina @ Wake Forest; ESPN, 5pm CT
They used to be in Wake Forest, NC. RJ Reynolds’ family, owner of the cigarette company that produces Salem, Winston, Camel and other brands, practically bought Wake Forest and moved them to their land in Winston-Salem in 1941.- Eddie Money cashes in his ticket to paradise
