Yes, Stalin and some others were pieces of shit. Do you know what the Union Army did to Native Americans?

You have the right to be identified as the author of the work.

That's a pretty cool idea. The cave works as a sort of library.

It's astonishing how virulently your very sensible post is getting downvoted. By bots? Or actual HN real people? Either possibility is very very bad for humanity.
> even people who recover, this does long term lung and maybe heart damage
The problematic ACE2 receptor sites are also in the brain, intestines and liver and have seen damage. The brain one is the most alarming one from a survival perspective. We survive, but with irreparable permanent brain damage. We're no longer ourselves, we have a different personality, and we are incapable of doing our previous jobs. Is death preferable?

Here's an article from a far more reputable news media organization published today also which says the policy is a disaster:

> For nearly 2 million years, ancient humans crafted stones into hand-size balls, but archaeologists were unsure why.
Wait, for nearly 2 million years ... humans? Starting and ending when? Do we have human remains from more than 2 million years ago? Turkana Boy is 1.5 million years old and close to modern physiology, once you get back to 2 million isn't it australopithicus and such?
> That changed when Assaf and her team came across a cache of 30 stone balls in Qesem Cave in Israel, where humans lived from about 400,000 to 200,000 years ago
I wonder if 2 million is a typo for 200 thousand?
> these stones "might have helped enhance human caloric intake and adaptation in the lower Paleolithic period," (2.7 million to 200,000 years ago), at Qesem Cave and possibly beyond, the researchers wrote in the study.
Whew, OK, so 2.7 million years ago is their starting point on this. That's interesting. Who was shaping stones that far back?
An interesting other site is the Cerutti Mastodon site in San Diego with 130kYBP mastodon bones possibly crushed with similar stones which were found at the site.

All of my dreams lately are nightmares where I find myself at WalMart during prime shopping hours surrounded by crowds, and without a mask.

> The New York State Health Department reports the average vaccination rate for measles among the nearly 200 Jewish K-12 schools in Brooklyn — mainly in Borough Park and Williamsburg — is 96%, six percentage points higher than the statewide average among private schools. In contrast, six other New York counties have a vaccination rate below 50%.
I wish you would get what you have created for yourself but there is no justice. The innocent will be oppressed by the elitist liars you support as a sycophant and justice will never prevail. It's horrible. You could switch sides but they are tossing bones at you and you will sell out the good for a tiny token. It's horrible.
