Global Race for a Coronavirus Vaccine Intensifies
David E. Sanger, David D. Kirkpatrick, Carl Zimmer, Katie Thomas and Sui-Lee Wee at NYT > U.S. > Politics - 2 hours ago
Governments, companies and academic labs are accelerating their efforts
amid geopolitical crosscurrents, questions about safety and the challenges
of producing enough doses for billions of people.
The winner will not be a nation but rather a laboratory.
There are no secrets in science.
All the laboratories are using the same techniques and are publishing the results.
Only the military does not publish.
Copyrights and patents carry penalties by international agreements.
Biological warfare does not happen because the results cannot be controlled.

Tara Reade's Allegation Is Against Biden, but the Burden Is on Women
Even with the progress of #MeToo, women are called upon to defend their
male colleagues. In the 2020 election, that can mean putting the movement
itself on the line.
I have had to think.
Like all others I find it difficult.
The Republican planners find the Tara Reade accusation convenient.
No testimony by Joe Biden will clear his name.
A record does not appear to exist.
Proving a negative is not possible.
The shadow of doubt will continue.
Joe Biden is not Donald J. Trump.
In the final analysis that is all that matters.
Biden will not re-subjugate women.
He will restart the the presumption of innocence.
Let us do the same for the Eve of Genesis.

It’s Impossible to Overstate How Broken America Is
I know I’ve been pounding this issue, but… New: The Capitol physician told
Republican staffers today the Senate lacks the capacity to test all 100
senators when it comes back Monday. Instead the Senate will test people who
are sick. Test will take 2+ days. Come on!! They can’t even manage proper
