"Top Senate Democrats and the Biden administration are maneuvering behind the scenes to defeat a measure from GOP Sen ..."

Far be it for the press to tell us the facts in an elucidating way.

Maneuvering? That is correct word usage and it uses one of the well know definitions of maneuvering. But is this NASCAR? Are these military maneuvers? The word maneuver is sufficiently elastic to obscure the facts.

Why can't they tell us that Schumer, another Democrat senator or whoever was talking to fellow Democrats and Republicans to persuade them. Who is talking off the Senate floor and who are they talking to?

Ah, but the cagey reporter is going to save that for a book that will be published a year or years later. Your subscription to a newspaper does not pay for that level of access? SO news organizations have different levels of access for paying customers?

They talk of the fog of war. This is the fog of politics.

Are they leaving it purposefully vague or is it solely or mainly, because their sources will never be sources again, if they print it? Senator A might talk to Senator B off the floor, but if a reporter reports it, one or both senators may never talk to the reporter again.

Then again most of the senators and staffers already know Senator A is talking to Senator B off the senate floor. So it is not a secret inside the Beltway, but is to everyone outside the Beltway. Also, since there are multiple people, who know, there are multiple sources, so why play footsie with the news readers about stuff they vote on albeit indirectly?

Good ideas almost always can stand the light of day. Cronyism cannot. Light is like a disinfectant to it. Does the maneuvering include quid pro quo?

You could argue that sanctions are a bad idea based on past sanctions track record or that they are premature. When are they not premature? When we are already in a shooting war? If you are not willing to incrementally increase pressure, it is more that you are forced to do things by circumstance. In which case why do we need you? The new staffer freshly hired, who is straight out of college or high school for that matter, could do the same job.

" In a medical first, doctors transplanted a pig heart into a human in a last-ditch effort to save his life. A Maryland hospital says the patient is doing well three days after the highly experimental surgery."


"Baby Fae lived for 21 days, two weeks longer than any other previous inter-species transplant recipient."

"Leonard Bailey performed the landmark surgery at Loma Linda in 1984."

So 37 or 38 years later we are amazed? Just a different animal. The genetic angle is new.

Mexican president says he has Covid-19 for second time
Mexico’s president announced Monday he has come down with Covid-19 a second time, as coronavirus infections spike in Mexico and virus tests

Common cold
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_cold

Frequency 2–3 per year (adults); 6–8 per year (children)[12]

The common cold is an infection of the upper respiratory tract which can be caused by many different viruses. The most commonly implicated is a

(1) rhinovirus (30–80%), a type of picornavirus with 99 known serotypes.

Other commonly implicated viruses include human

(2) coronaviruses (≈ 15%),
(3) influenza viruses (10–15%),
(4) adenoviruses (5%),
(5) human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV),
(6) enteroviruses other than rhinoviruses,
(7) human parainfluenza viruses, and
(8) human metapneumovirus.

Frequently more than one virus is present.

In total, more than 200 viral types are associated with colds.


What changed? Nothing. People are still swimming in a sea of viruses.

Except the thought of it is freaking people out.

Oh and now we have more and cheaper viral tests. Or at least we are willing to produce viral test kits to the exclusion of of other needful things to live. Yeah that thing called economics.
