--- Quote from: Zero999 on June 13, 2020, 10:05:26 pm ---The food pyramid makes sense, even though it has received some criticism in recent years especially because it contains dairy, which isn't necessary and many people believe humans didn't evolved to eat grains, which they deem to be responsible for the obesity epidemic. In reality, humans have consumed dairy and grains long before obesity became widespread.

Offtopic: not just that. The people against grains confuse inventing agriculture with actually eating grains which likely happened forever otherwise agriculture wouldn't have been invented.  :palm: 5G loonies are nothing in comparison.

The key problem with the food pyramid is the name. Pyramid suggests a really large pile of food, which is exactly the interpretation the people who most need education about their diet are predisposed to see.  :).

It will be effective and it will be something of a game changer particularly with respect to school openings for the new year. Within a few months of the first, there will be several more, but with some big issues surrounding costs. This, I predict, will be a big election issue as part of healthcare that people can relate to easily. Who gets them and who pays and how much?

An effective vaccine is much further down the road in my view (I hope I am wrong).

It will also be morbidly interesting to see if we observe any rollbacks in opening up. I would think that this is going to, again, fall along political lines.

End of Fall (September 22 to December 21st in the USA) is too late for it to be much of a election issue. Election ends November 3rd, but many votes will get cast by mail or early voting days to weeks before that, so even the start of Fall may be too late for election purposes.

As for who should get them first if it works: First responders and healthcare workers. And if schools are opening, the teachers, unless you don't mind not having enough teachers showing up to operate schools.

Why, why why are we seeing that huge cluster of red in Arizona?


--- Quote from: DrG on June 13, 2020, 07:01:43 pm ---In the US, we are seeing some sharp rises in daily new cases in some places – sometimes the new case counts are the highest ever observed and with positivity rates well above 10%. News media selectively makes the attributions quickly or, on the other “side”, seemingly ignores it altogether.

Lots of older people who are vulnerable, lots of conservatives who think Covid is a liberal conspiracy, lots of dense retirement communities which have typically been especially hard hit in other areas. That's my speculation anyway.
