   From NASA https://twitter.com/NASA on Twitter: Whats faster than material blasting away from the site of an exploded star? Answer: Not much. Astronomers have used our @ChandraXray Observatory data to record detonated star debris traveling faster than 20 million miles per hour: https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/chandra/images/keplers-supernova-remnant-debris-from-stellar-explosion-not-slowed-after-400-years.html?utm_source=TWITTER&utm_medium=NASA&utm_campaign=NASASocial&linkId=97621267 https://twitter.com/NASA/status/1296190964705431553/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/67119

   It finally happened. Yesterday, Collin County reported 102 deaths from COVID-19. Today? 95. That's right. COVID-19 has spawned the undead.

   Today is the Dedman College Chair's Retreat. Of course, it's all on Zoom. I don't know why I came out to this spot in the woods, now. We were never going to be together. I hope there aren't bears.

   Scientists See Signs of Lasting Immunity to Covid-19, Even After Mild Infections A spot of hopeful news on COVID-19 and conferred immunity. Bodes well for an eventual vaccine.

   Is it safe to reopen schools during the pandemic? (from @AP) A sustained decline in cases and a positive case rate of less than 2% are among the signs the virus is under control, some experts say. Of course, DFW fails that basic test handily. https://apnews.com/9acd2a3f7af12421a4f39572afe5baac

    From T_Inglesby https://twitter.com/T_Inglesby on Twitter: It's as if leaders don't want to know: "Some [states] claimed that coronavirus data on schools was not critical to protecting the broader public...And only a handful of states said they would report the actual numbers of infected students and staff." 2/x

    Cold front that brought wicked weather last night brought a beautiful morning. Went for a 6 mile run and it was ONLY 70F outside. Ran past a "COVID-pack": local cross-country team out practicing, clumped together on narrow sidewalk, no masks, hootin' and hollarin'. Doomed.

    So, this is fun. It's a heck of a wind storm, most of all. Stripping branches off trees and even flipped an Adirondack Chair on our back patio. Flipped it clean over. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1295143724318691329/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/67075
