Dilbert and Covidbert

I haven’t followed Dilbert for years. Someone was complaining that Scott Adams had fallen for the whole masks, shutdowns, hibernation fearmongering. So I went to check for myself. There’s a series starting back at the April 20 Dilbert strip which has Dilbert and the rest of the cast being all weird (as usual) with the flu scare. I don’t get the impression Scott Adams is buying in as much as making fun of.

Sooner Politics – 5/23/2020 – As a public health emergency, Covid-19 (a.k.a. Wuhan Virus) is no longer a state public health emergency. That’s the message from the Oklahoma House of Representatives, who voted nearly unanimously to end the state of emergency, yesterday morning.

In fact, the data from the State Health Dept shows that the worst of the health emergency was about 6 weeks ago.….

SpaceX is ready to make space history with its first astronaut launch for NASA next week.

No showstoppers were found during a crucial flight readiness review (FRR) for SpaceX’s Demo-2 mission, keeping the company’s first-ever crewed flight on track for a May 27 liftoff, NASA officials announced today (May 22).

“The Flight Readiness Review has concluded, and NASA’s SpaceX Demo-2 mission is cleared to proceed toward liftoff on the first crewed flight of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program,” NASA officials wrote in an update today.

Demo-2 will send NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule, which will launch atop a Falcon 9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida.

The mission will be the first orbital human spaceflight to depart from American soil since NASA retired its space shuttle fleet in July 2011.
