You should boycott Publix. They're insurrectionists.
I don't know about insurrection support, but Wegmans is the only place I have seen Trump wine. (TBF it is local in VA).Ugh. Please Wegmans' family don't have any laundry that dirty that can get aired.
going to Europe soon and looking into the Covid-19 testing that is required before returning to the U.S., despite the fact that domestic testing has decreased significantly over the past few months
hearing several anecdotes that this is largely a performative act; pharmacies abroad tell people, "don't worry; we'll get you a negative test"
Hypothetically, if one of us tested positive there is nothing stopping us from renting a car and driving back into the US since there are no testing requirements for land border crossings. Obviously none of us would do this if we knew we had covid, but it's not really keeping anyone safer when I can go to the airport right now and jump on a cross country flight with no testing requirement.

Florida’s COVID-19 data was so inaccurate, incomplete and delayed during the first months of the pandemic that government officials and the public may not have had necessary information to determine the effectiveness of the state’s COVID-19 precautions and the best plan to fight the virus, according to a state report released Monday. Covering the state’s pandemic response from March to October 2020, the yearlong analysis by the Florida Auditor General found missing case and death data, unreported ethnic and racial details, and incomplete contact tracing as the coronavirus spread across the state. In addition, the report concluded that state health officials did not perform routine checks on the data to ensure accuracy and did not follow up on discrepancies.
No detailsbehind a paywall but does it say what the "new intelligence" is ? For something this important I think we should probably disclose what the intelligence was that led to this conclusion
LowWhat’s the stated confidence level of the Energy Department conclusion?
The Energy Department made its judgment with “low confidence,” according to people who have read the classified report.
The FBI previously came to the conclusion that the pandemic was likely the result of a lab leakin 2021 with “moderate confidence” and still holds to this view.
The National Intelligence Council, which conducts long-term strategic analysis, and four agencies, which officials declined to identify, still assess with “low confidence” that the virus came about through natural transmission from an infected animal, according to the updated report.
The Central Intelligence Agency and another agency that officials wouldn’t name remain undecided between the lab-leak and natural-transmission theories, the people who have read the classified report said.
