Do you really have to add political garbage to every post?
If you take your political snipe out, the post doesn't lose anything of value -- and actually becomes amusing, rather than tiresome.

OK, I will bite. How is it political?

Just like the people who tried to blame trump for ingesting chloroquine. I guess they'll people will read this article and start smoking and then blame the article for getting lung cancer.

You are suggesting that mentioning Trump makes it a political statement? How very snowflake and woke over you.

Lemme guess: You read the title of the book that was written for his son.
mocking any and all politicians and religious leaders when they screw up or lie is one thing; constantly pushing one political viewpoint is another.
Shall we get some Muslims in here, to constantly push Muslim viewpoints? That should fit in perfectly with allowing people to promote alt-right opinions. Fair's fair, after all.
Or shall we just say no?
I'm not discussing this further.

Well, stop talking about it so much! The Trumpites can't get a word in!

Some people are blaming President Trump for this. The FDA has since approved limited use of chloroquine for widespread trials.

Yes, the FDA has announced it properly.
Trump knows that there are people whom fanatically hang on his every word, and do exactly as he says. He has to learn to simply repeat what the experts are telling him, rather than make stuff up on the fly to sound impressive.
God only knows how much damage he's done by downplaying the whole thing, but it is pretty much a certainty that it had a bearing on the the unnecessarily high number of infected people in the US.
Countries that locked down quickly, and imposed restrictions on public activities immediately have, for obvious reasons, had far better outcomes.

CNN should complain. They're very funny, except when they're tragic.

I can't tell if these articles are just sarcasm and a joke or serious?

Too bad, we could use a little laughter this year!
Agreed that corona "jokes" aren't funny, but dangerous and those people were rightfully arrested.
However, I don't think companies such as Google don't do jokes because "it's not funny" or "inappropriate".
They don't do jokes because this whole corona thing is costing them lots of money and there's just no time, budget or people to make jokes this year.

I started high school with a slide rule and finished with an HP-45 calculator. I didn't think it could get much better.
|

I went through all school including high school equivalent with a book of log tables! No fancy slide-rule technology for me - never mind a calculator!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

With a slide rule, anything after the third significant digit had to be figured out in your head, so log and trig tables were still needed if the answer had to be accurate.
The HP-45 was still high-end at the time. The HP-65 (programmable) had just come out that year.

Me too!
Started Uni with a double-scale slide rule, finished with some weird 12 digit calculator which only had a 6 digit display!. Went all the way through school (until my last year) using my father's old 7 figure log tables. Still got them: showed them to a class of 14 year old IT students recently - they'd never even heard of them!

I found one of my old slide rules a few months ago.
I couldn't remember how to use it
