MY TAKEAWAYS: The timeline is off. 72 hours since his diagnosis? He was clearly on oxygen at some point. I mean, come on. This is important. No answer on steroids (it was asked). That would be very very revealing. We don't know his last negative test. We need to know.

Conley very specifically not answering whether POTUS has been on oxygen at any point. Two sources close to POTUS tell me his blood oxygen levels dropped yesterday.

Conley says we are 72 hours into the diagnosis. We were told around 1 am on Friday morning that POTUS was positive, which is only 36 hours ago.

Four years ago, today: Donald Trump was mocking Hillary Clinton for contracting an illness - pneumonia - and implying that it showed she was weak.

Are the President's odds better because he's a VIP? I'm not convinced that VIPs get better care, and the literature is unpersuasive. They get more attention–but risks include chaotic lines of command & patients dictating their own non-evidence-based care (see: Jobs, Steve). (1/2)

Timely reminder that on debate night, members of Trump family and Trump administration did not wear masks, which were required by the Cleveland Clinic. A doctor approached the Trump guests, offering masks and reminding them to put one on – but nobody did.
Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!

I hope POTUS, FLOTUS, and Hope Hicks recover quickly. But make no mistake: this reflects dereliction of duty in the way that the WH runs under pandemic. It increases risk for everyone. Beyond irresponsible.

It’s Oct 2 and I’m not even a bit convinced that this is the October surprise.

Tuesday’s debate was great. Hear me out. It wasn’t only Trump who got to show his true colors, Biden did too: Under deranged circumstances, he managed both to convey his main messages and showcase his opponent’s pathological lying and self-absorption. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2…

Oh, actually, it's just one parcel. 360 University doesn't count since there's an alley (and city parking lot) at the back of the parcel that could connect to underground parking.

And even more context: (a) they're probably going to add a further 9 month extension of the 1 year moratorium mentioned in the above thread in Monday's council meeting, and (b) the above thread was subtly wrong; there are non-office non-residential uses still allowed

I think this is why we need the state to step in with laws like SB50 and limit the power of city governments to do this sort of thing.

Context: I just found two parcels listed in Palo Alto's housing inventory (469 University and 360 University) where Palo Alto did this when it added PAMC 18.18.060(m) as part of the 2018 Housing Work Plan (cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/f…).

Random California housing law question: if a city lists a parcel as a housing inventory site in the housing element of its comprehensive plan, are there consequences if it changes the zoning for those parcels so it's no longer possible to build the listed amount of housing?
