?shifting recommendations based on new data and new studies, as well as new variants, or "lying". Knowing what I know, I'll go with the former.

Can you quote a STUDY that indicates that coffee really indeed gives you the ability to "be this sharp so early in the morning?"

In this particular case, I'm ignoring the scientific method and relying on an anecdotal case study of ONE!!!!

Very interesting - thanks for the post. Maybe the UK is approaching herd Immunity?

"Based on antibody testing of blood donors, 98.0% of the adult population now have antibodies to COVID-19 from either infection or vaccination compared to 19.0% that have antibodies from infection alone. Over 96% of adults aged 17 or older have antibodies from either infection or vaccination"

All my friends have larger than lifesize paintings of themselves hanging in their home office. It's a sure sign of a humble public servant.

Sometimes it is hard to find the right mirror to fit a room. Reminds me a bit of the triple-self Rockwell as that painting shows we can have an unrealistic opinion of our worth/appearance to others.

No big deal but the other day I was watching an interview with Fauci in his study/den(?) and in the background on the book shelf was a couple of candles with his picture on the sides. Hey, who am I do judge? I just have a set of Russian nesting dolls with the likeness of past premiers.

I seem to recall that the Person Who Shall Not Be Named used his charities funds to buy a portrait of himself. Wonder which room it's hanging in now...
If overblown egos are cause for criticism, just look around TV where just about every public building/place is named after one of the Morses.

And the streets are named after their families and friends.

Interesting, since I just looked at the list of 100 recreation centers and only a few are named after Morse family members. Also, didn't notice any of the 50+ golf courses had a Morse name. Street names are a different story

There are also the Sharon Morse Performing Arts Center and the Sharon Morse Medical Center.

And let's not forget the larger-than-life-sized statue of Harold Schwartz standing in the fountain-pool at Spanish Springs Town Square.

Point being, it's not any more or less narcissistic to have a big honkin portrait of yourself somewhere in your house, than it is to have a statue made in your honor or a building named after you. For all anyone knows, Fauci was given this portrait as a gift from some well-known artist, and it's valuable, and thematic (since it's a portrait of him), so he has it displayed prominently in the room.

My grandparents had busts made of themselves by a local artist and they were displayed in the foyer of their home, across from the front doors. They weren't narcissistic either - to them it was them, supporting the arts. They were also donors at the local performance theatre, and had little plaques with their names on a pair of box seats. My parents did the same.
