Seems WashU is one of the leading U.S. universities in regards to researching a coronavirus vaccine. In fact, it's the only U.S. university called out by name in the relevant Wiki articles. No real surprise here I think, given WashU's strong focus on medicine and medical research.
This is based on Jim Bullards idea that we should have a 90 day national lock down and shut down the economy and basically just hang out, nor does it account for the Feds $4trillion dollar programs or the $2T stimulus.
^Bummer! Me too. It was a "Post covid car commercial." Maybe someone requested a takedown. The arch featured quite prominently about five seconds in. Maybe the third shot. Big aerial shot of the skyline.
St. Louis impressed me most of all. Within 24 hours I had three meals in St. Louis that rivaled anything I could find in New York or Los Angeles: lunch at Winslow’s Table, dinner at Indo, and a solo brunch (I was the first person in line when the doors opened at 11 a.m.) at Balkan Treat Box, which serves Eastern European flatbreads good enough to make you stray from pizza.

SLU is also working on a vaccine. Last I heard, they were one of 9 approved universities working on a vaccine.
Here's another oddity where we hit a sort of minor specialty publication: I guess I'd call it a "Netzine" specializing in historical images called Bygonely. (Assuming that term still has any currency.) This has been making its ways around Reddit: Fascinating Historical Photos Of St. Louis From The Early 20th Century.
Some fantastic old images, including this one detailing an unfolding civic battle that has hints of NIMBYS and urban renewal all the way back in 1910:
It doesn't say, but I would guess most of these are from the history museum. And of course there's no credit given that I notice. Ah well. Still, a well curated collection, whoever did the curating. Neat stuff. (If you ignore the occasional misplaced caption.)
That's actually really neat to see. I was hoping St. Louis would enact legislation like this, and I'm very glad they have and have gone further than most other places have.
The court complaint about the Smithfield pork plant in Missouri, which is not unionized, says workers are typically required to stand almost shoulder to shoulder, must often go hours without being able to clean or sanitize their hands, and have difficulty taking sick leave...Beyond seeking to make workers safer, the complaint about the plant in Milan, Mo., is testing whether public nuisance law dating back hundreds of years can be used to protect workers on the job. The plaintiffs argue that Smithfield, by failing to take adequate safety measures, risks a coronavirus outbreak that could quickly spread to the entire community. https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/p ... r-lawsuit/
Sunshine laws came in handy with this one. Anyone could’ve gotten the information since you can request it.
I’ve read through the emails. The ones where people were reporting their bosses were absolutely ridiculous. Then you had people telling the County to please have them remain anonymous when you had to agree that the information in the emails could be released if a sunshine law request was put in. Then you had people reporting their neighbors because the neighbors had 2 or 3 friends over to their house.
I’m not saying it’s right or wrong to release the emails or report a business. I’m just saying that a warning was made before submitting the report that this could happen. It happened. Now the actions by both Jared and the reporting people (referred to as snitches) have consequences.
