Every great literature has always been allegorical, allegorical of some view of the whole universe. The Iliad is only great because all life is a battle, the Odyssey because all life is a journey, the Book of Job because all life is a riddle. https://twitter.com/GKCdaily/status/1292250241241161728

Re The test provides results in 10-15 minutes at a cost of about $1-2 per test and does not require any additional equipment. A positive result would indicate the need for self-quarantine and confirmation of test results through a doctor’s office. (22/n) https://twitter.com/GertrudRey/status/1291700320641351681

I guess the pandemic is over. Justin Trudeau is back to his regular schedule of taking an entire week off completely unannounced. So far, he has not worked a day the whole month of August. https://twitter.com/TheRealKeean/status/1291749641914945539 #Canada

The French president is in my neighborhood, one of the worst hit in the #BeirutBlast, before any Lebanese politician or minister visited. And the cry that ricocheted across the Mideast in 2011 rises again on Beirut’s streets: The people demand the fall of the regime #Lebanon Quentin Sommerville: Macron mobbed in Beirut.

#GospelToday (Mt 16:24-28)
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? Or what can one give in exchange for his life? For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father's glory, and then he will repay everyone according to his conduct.

Amen, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."

Re When used by many people, even if not everyone, these tests will1)break transmission2)drop R below 13)create an artificial herd immunity-like effectThis stops deaths and buys us a lot of time to get vaccines built properly. 10/ https://twitter.com/michaelmina_lab/status/1291532960991240197
