Scientists say the patient caught coronavirus twice, rather than the original infection becoming dormant and then bouncing back. A comparison of the genetic codes of the virus taken during each bout of symptoms showed they were too distinct to be caused by the same infection. "Our findings signal that a previous infection may not necessarily protect against future infection," said Dr Mark Pandori, from the University of Nevada. "The possibility of reinfections could have significant implications for our understanding of Covid-19 immunity."

But Bush's destruction of the Middle East is perhaps the biggest blunder and biggest atrocity committed by any US president, save possibly Andrew Jackson. I think Bush is still worse, and it's not even close, because as well as everything that his tenure cost in concrete terms - money, lives lost, and so on, it also laid the way for the current state of geopolitics. Trump could not have come to power without the disastrous wars and wave of xenophobia genereted by the Bush adminstration, and that wasn't limited to the US. The growth of the far right across the EU can be traced to the collapse of ME governments, the ensuing rise of ISIS, and the refugee crisis it created. And one could also make a strong argument that his presidency contributed to Brexit, as Blair's wedding of his regime to Bush's was to a large degree responsible for the collapse of New Labour. He also presided over the greatest economic crash in a generation, and if we're being honest, Trump is only a minor contributor to the current one, whereas Bush couldn't blame his on Covid. What Bush showed is the danger of a serious, if not competent, Republican presidency. Romney, Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz or any of the other establishment figures would've brought the same incompetence and amorality, because the Republican party doesn't select for skilled administrators with a functional sense of morality. It selects for ruthlessness and party loyalty.

I view the 90's as the second 60's (fall of the wall, soviets becoming all free and cuddly), and 9/11 as the event that brought that dream crashing down. All the sh*t we're seing going down in the world is a direct result of that. The hate and fear that generated led to ISIS, Bush and finally Trump. Bush was outwardly hostile, but Trump takes care of fear, hate and xenophobia domestically. It was a seismic event, just like the assasination of Franz Ferdinand. I'm sure future historians can draw an almost straight line from 9/11 to Trump (and beyond?). Let's hope the next cuddly, feel-good era is just around the corner.

Trump is now one of them, with tax payer funded access to the finest health care in the world no doubt helping him along, so he can get back to doing his level best at ensuring nobody else gets access to such socialised health care. The focus needs to be brought back to what a terrible job he's been doing, rather than perpetuating myths that he could keel over at any minute if not for magic drugs keeping him going.

They are have been flailing around trying to find a message that sticks and none really have , but in part it's because they have changed tack so often. Last Time it was very clear and simpleBuild the Wall Lock Her Up MAGA! They have been all over the map this time around. None of it sticks because everything contradicts each other and none of it makes sense.

Sure, in Congress things had been going to **** for a while but when one thinks of how Bush was thought of yet he makes a speech like that and he is obviously hit by the significance of Obama's election and to be honest doesn't look in the least bit disappointed his party lost. To go from that to what we had/have 8/12 years later is incredible.

Harris county with 2.5 million residents only one drop-in box for those who want to use it instead of queueing at a voting centre next month. CNN is reporting that a judge gave a more recent ruling that the governors was set aside. Other federal courts in different states have also issued ruling overturning GOP-run local govt laws aimed at reducing the numbers of drop-in box available to voters.

When they don't get answers, they repeat and people claim they are focusing on only one issue. Take the test result as an example. There is simply no reasonable reason to refuse to give that out. Sure they can hide behind the HIPA (or whatever medical privacy is covered by) but it is clearly in the countries interests to know that. On the vast majority of occasions Trump is either lying, or simply doesn't know what he is talking about. CNN tend to cal him out on that. So at this stage they appear to have taken the view that he is always lying, and that is a perfectly reasonable position to take.

On a human level, I can't hugely blame them - Trump has had a go at CNN many times, even though they gave him a lot of valuable coverage during the 2016 election, but they have turned into the blue FOX News at this stage. They'll put the most negative spin on any Trump story, and many of those already look bad from a neutral point of view, making exaggeration unnecessary, but it's that exaggeration which lets Trump supporters feel like they have a legitimate reason to write the network off as the enemy.
