Bumblers,


Bumble!  

Soon an announcement will be made in regards to tickets for this years’ 2022 thing in the desert, AKA Burning Man.  You should be excited.


Bumblepuss and Nectarvillage intend to participate to our fullest and to make it our best year since the Burn of 2003, which will never be topped.


Some of you may have heard of Covid-19.  Still fewer Bumbleers have concerns about Covid-19 and related misanthropic pandemic-ery.  I am here to address those Bumblers with such knowledge and related concerns.  


Rest assured Bumblers.  Bumble Elders have met and we have a plan.


In order that there be not only equality but equity at Bumblepuss and NectarVillage it has been decided that all Bumblers and future Bumblers planning to camp with us in 2022 need to show proof of being infected with Covid-19 at some time within the last five years.


Priority will be given to certain Covid-19 variants.  Those who received the OG ChinaFlu variant in 2019 through November 2020 will be admitted automatically.  Those who were gifted the Delta Tau Delta variant will have points deducted from their application but are likely to get in.  Bumblers blessed with the Alpha and Omega variants may be asked to camp elsewhere.  Those special Bumblers who are granted the Omnikrom virus or any of the variants from January 19th, 2022 forward with the express purpose of camping with Bumblepuss will be made Camp Leads as reward for your special dedication and initiative to all things Bumble.  


If you have any questions, just realize all decisions by Bumble Elders are final.


I can’t wait to Bumble with you this summer!

Bumble!

Opinion: To stop the next pandemic, we need to unravel the origins of COVID-19

By David A. Relman

From: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

November 24th, 2020

We find ourselves ten months into one of the most catastrophic global health events of our lifetime and, disturbingly, we still do not know how it began. What’s even more troubling is that despite the critical importance of this question, efforts to investigate the origins of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus and of the associated disease, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), have become mired in politics, poorly supported assumptions and assertions, and incomplete information.

Via Taiwan News: Stanford scientist calls for investigation of Wuhan lab leak

David A. Relman, an American microbiologist at the Stanford University School of Medicine, published an opinion piece in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) in which he called for a complete, international, and transparent investigation into the possibility that SARS-CoV-2, the virus which causes COVID-19, leaked out of a lab in China.

Lab Safety and the Origins of Covid-19

This problem is pressing, because it not only has the potential for large scale catastrophe, but also has a certain asymmetry inherent to it: It only needs one mistake or one careless or adventurous researcher to create a disaster. Think about all the incidences mentioned above, or think about the paper where scientists published instructions on how to assemble a smallpox-like virus from scratch.

A Proposed Origin for SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19 Pandemic

by by Jonathan Latham, PhD and Allison Wilson, PhD

“The hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 evolved in the Mojiang miner’s lungs potentially resolves many scientific questions about the origin of the pandemic. But it raises others having to do with why this information has not come to light hitherto. The most obvious of these concern the actions of the Shi lab at the WIV.”

Where would Saint Roch work today?

Saint Roch or Rocco is an old school Catholic saint invoked especially against plague times. It’s a wonder he hasn’t grown in popularity recently or popped up as an analyst on CNN after Fauci is interviewed.

Saint Roch. Stained glass window. Combloux. France.

Lil Rock as he would be known today is also the patron saint of dogs, invalids, the falsely accused and bachelors. How long can a Netflix documentary or mini-series be away?

Moreover, most people, assuming they had not altogether abandoned religious observances, or did not continue them naively with a thoroughly immoral way of living, had replaced normal religious practice by more or less extravagant superstitions. Thus they were readier to wear prophylactic medals of St. Roch than go to Mass.

Election Night questions

It’s likely 100 million people will have voted before November 3rd and 150 million will vote in total. But we have to wait till Election night to see any results.

What are the top questions for Election Night as we watch actual results start to come in?

When will Donald Trump declare victory via Twitter or in a speech?

Prediction: Trump will declare victory by 10pm EST via twitter

At what point in the night will a major corporate media outlet declare that we are in the middle of a major Constitutional crisis over the transition of power and use the word ‘We can now report that there is a coup underway tonight in America’ – the media outlet has to be CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NYTimes, WaPo or similar major publication by a news presenter like Anderson Cooper or a journalist – not an explicit opinion writer or someone like Rachel Maddow. Has to be a statement, not a question.

Prediction: CNN and MSNBC news presenters will use the word Coup in a serious fashion as a statement of fact by midnight EST.

If there is an election night blowout and the Blue Wave is real how many times will we hear the phrase ‘Our four year national nightmare appears to be coming to an end’?

Prediction: More times than even Google Trends can keep up with. The Algo will be broken.

Will there be a major problem in Florida with counting the votes?

Prediction: No. Another state or states will pop-up and surprise us.

100,000 Covid19 infections or more on Election Day?

Prediction: Yes

How much cannabis will be consumed by Joe Rogan and guests on his election night special?

Prediction: Beaucoup!

Smoke’em if you got’em – it will be a very long night.

Loser Electoral Math for Election Day

The losing Presidential candidate since the 2000 race has gotten on average 224.6 Electoral Votes and 47.56% of the vote.

The biggest loser was McCain in 2008 who received just 45.7% of the vote and a mere 173 electoral votes. A true blowout – the only candidate to lose with under 200 electoral votes and under 47% of the vote.

Regardless of who wins its an almost certainty that Biden/Harris will win the popular vote as the Democrats did in 2000 and 2016.

If you assume the polls are accurate Trump will do worse then a loser like McCain on vote % but not necessarily on electoral college votes.

Again assume the polls are accurate – does Trump get less than 45% of the vote and more than 200 electoral votes or less?

Only time and 79 days of hell after November 3rd will tell.
