As an aside, (and I also posted this info in the Covid thread), my father in law and his girl friend both still have Covid antibodies as of last week (May 2021), after having contracted Covid last September 2020. This is per antibody test performed last week.
Given that Covid actually confers...
Another vaccine (Novavax) coming through the pipeline. Emergency Use Authorization expected to be requested Q3 of this year. The vaccine maker Novavax is also doing combo flu/Covid shots.
They were ready to seek EUA this month but had to postpone due to lack of raw material for their...
My 78 year old father in law and his same age girl friend both had Covid late September 2021. They didn't go to the doctors and just stayed in bed for a week or so (no fever, just fatigue, cough and transient change in taste).

So being Asian, I have experienced racism in one form or another. Some subtle, and others in your face.
Being in Irvine, and surrounded by other Asians, I assume that display of racism is a lot less. Especially against Asians. Just curious as to what form of racism have you experienced in...

Also, by...
Yes, and the Irvine Co. did an extensive cleanup of that small patch of land before even considering building a community there. Like I said before, no homes were ever built on it even after the thorough cleanup, because they know how crazy we home buyers can be about every little potential...
As regards to PS, there is no plume. There was some soil issue affecting the land under a park. And they used one of the most expensive methods to do the cleanup out of over abundance of caution. But no homes were ever built on that soil and there are no restrictions on the home owners as to...
