Yes, but….. doesn’t that say that he’s been part of the “problem”? I would expect more from a progressive member of the LGBTQIA community. He should know discrimination quite well.
Sometimes you need fresh blood at the top to really change things.

In reply to Raffles. Actually, if you look at Brian's accompanying blog post, he admits that there are no non-white senior staff at TPG. Again, though, fair play for publishing this and committing to change.

In reply to TBBTheDude. TPG published its diversity data on LinkedIn (scroll back 6 days) which is interesting. 77% white. Full credit to them for publishing the data though.

Thanks for a lot of the comments…if they only were conversions I would not be whining about the 15 cents the blog earned yesterday, sad covfefe!

Michigan cases yesterday hit 300+, highest in June. We were down to the 200s but…It does appear the phucking virus may actually not just disappear/go away you guys…

Tomorrow’s post is developing nicely…but this whole blogging thing is getting really tiring. Amazingly, no other blog has officially called it quits…If the virus continues and quarantines/lockdowns keep happening, travel industry is in for a major depression…which is already happening actually in some parts of the world…I would laugh at this comment by ABC a lot more if it was not for the devastation in the Greek tourism:

In reply to Anonymous. Massively increasing infection rates in FL, TX and AZ are worrisome. Especially FL with a lot of retired folks. I think you are overestimating the odds of getting it before a vaccine is on the market (early 2021?). Many thought Sweden and especially Stockholm would be much closer to herd immunity. However, only 5-10% had the antibodies. Consequently SE is banned from traveling anywhere within the EU. I am not sure how young Greek men will survive this summer. I doubt Helga from Bavaria will show up and give them a hand.

For those who don’t like wearing a mask, you REALLY won’t like a ventilator.

Good link, thanks!

I urge people to quit following/worrying about the number of infections—it’s a fully meaningless metric *at this point*. Right now the only real metrics to use are deaths, hospitalizations, and test positivity percentages (which are way too big in a number of places).

Odds are very high that you will end up getting it before a vaccine is ready. And chances are it won’t kill you. So don’t freak out.

Here’s a good primer on who is generally more at risk:
