American High Schools Go Woke Consultants cash in on radical changes to curricula nationwide
The Mastermind Behind Biden’s No-Drama Approach to Trump Only one top Biden adviser isn’t joining him in the White House—but she’ll still stay close. ......... “As [Biden] will be the first to say, he’s the only Irishman who doesn’t carry a grudge,” Dunn told me. “I’m not Irish, but I will carry his grudges.”
Op-Ed: On the COVID frontlines, we’re tired of hearing lame excuses for risky behavior We’re tired of seeing patients who got the virus after their kid’s “limited” birthday party or because they went out to a restaurant dinner with “close friends” or flew to a celebration in a state “that didn’t have much COVID.” ............... Wear a mask whenever you leave the house. Stop doing dumb stuff, like going to parties, destination weddings and the French Laundry. Stop listening to know-nothings who spout “science” on YouTube and Twitter. ............ So avoid crowds. Wash your hands. Stay home. Why is this so hard? ............... how a single wedding of 55 people in Maine infected 27 guests. None of them died and some didn’t even have symptoms. So, no big deal, right? Wrong. The infected guests went on to infect others, who in turn spread it themselves. Over the next 38 days, the wedding was responsible for infecting at least 176 people, and seven of them died. ............. We’ve reached that place in the movie where there are so many zombies we have to hide in the basement. Except the zombies are down there with us, fresh from an “essential” shopping trip, and now their kid has a cough. .............. The fire burns all around us and we are dry grass, from sea to shining sea. .......... Now we are in danger of losing perhaps half a million people or more. ............ How can the world’s strongest democracy be unwilling to fight a winnable war on our own soil to protect our own lives and those of our neighbors? A lot of us won’t even don masks to aid the fight. ............ Like the last man shot in war, you might get the virus before you get the vaccine.
Politics, Science and the Remarkable Race for a Coronavirus Vaccine The furious race to develop a coronavirus vaccine played out against a presidential election, between a pharmaceutical giant and a biotech upstart, with the stakes as high as they could get. ........... Their apparent success showed that in an era of polarized politics, science was able to break down barriers between government, countries and industry to produce one of the few pieces of good news in a year of suffering and division.
Making the Most of the Coming Biden Boom The economic outlook is probably brighter than you think. ......... Donald Trump is tweeting while America burns .......... Joe Biden will eventually preside over a soaring, “morning in America”-type recovery. ........... I won’t even be surprised if we see G.O.P. efforts to impede the wide distribution of a vaccine. ........... we’ll still need to invest on a large scale to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, improve the condition of America’s families (especially children) and, above all, head off catastrophic climate change.
