9. The question is whether his mismanagement, lack of concern over the warnings he got,

and massive overreaction have disgusted the Israeli people enough to get rid of him at long last.

4. Last night's vote to table the motion to proceed to a vote ...

6. Basically what the Senate did

was to say it is not allowed to ask questions despite questioning being allowed under the statute cited.

[tritsofme]

11. No, they just rejected grandstanding nonsense.

[moniss]

13. They rejected

a request for information. If someone would grandstand after getting the information would remain to be seen. If someone was grandstanding the request itself then the result of the vote played into their grandstanding. A better approach would have been to pass it and send the request to the State Department as called for in the law. Then State could formulate an information request plan, as broad or narrow as they choose, and determine the timing (now or much later) for when to ask for the info and for when to receive it. But to kill it in the vote was needlessly stupid and just adds to the accusations that people are hiding things and not holding people accountable for their actions.

17. Thank you, I listened to an hour long program yesterday on WNYC radio about long Covid ...

one significant take away was the idea is that pushing oneself to get back into shape could cause more harm.

"...The muscle biopsies taken after the exercise test revealed other troubling events.

"They end up having a lot more muscle damage than a healthy person would have," says Charlton. "And because their maximal capacity is now also lower, they have that damage happening at a sooner point."

A close look at the muscle tissue showed long COVID patients had more atrophy — shrinking of the fibers — than the healthy controls. There were also "immense amounts" of cell death, or "necrosis," which happens when immune cells infiltrate and degrade the tissue, he says.

The data hints at some kind of altered immune response to exercise in post-exertional malaise..."
