Good question

"Why is there no data on any genders other than males and females getting COVID?"
Peter Heck:
“[A]s Erickson points out, the sexual revolutionaries of the LGBTQQIP2SAA left, have reflexively forced "sex" into the category of social construct as well:
Sex is far more diverse than we acknowledge when we ask whether a baby is male or female. It cannot be neatly defined by our genitalia, hormone levels, reproductive structures, or brain structure. And as people with intersex traits make exceptionally clear, even chromosomes are a poor guide.
“And notice it's not just in peer-reviewed academic journals that you find this kind of thing. The "sex is a social construct" philosophy is firmly entrenched in pop culture as well. That's why Erickson, Allie Beth Stuckey, and others received Twitter bans for calling a biological man, Lauren Hubbard, a man.
“Therefore, the question remains a legitimate and significant one – why is there no reported data on the COVID infection and hospitalization rates of other genders/sexes? If we are searching for trends and traits that lead certain portions of the population to be particularly vulnerable, it seems like such information would be pertinent. But it's not there. Anywhere.
“Let me propose what I think is the most logical answer to the question. There is no data on the "other genders/sexes" because our medical professionals are fighting a real, legitimate, serious problem and don't have time to waste on puerile and illegitimate social crusades that aren't based in reality. Talking about newly invented terms like "nonbinary," "omnigender," and "pangender" are fine for the political and media class that have little in the way of meaningful work on their agenda.
“Serious people with actual, consequential responsibilities don't have time to mess with these kinds of anti-science absurdities. That's why the medical professionals aren't spending manpower and money to try to track down data on something so silly and superfluous.”
Well, we won't be able to say she didn't warn us. At least we can't say THAT!

“It’s early days!”
Hacky Psaki to the nation: “Brace yourself, Bridget, there’s worse to come.”
Reporter: “Just to clarify, since you said you were with him, how was he? How was his mood? How was he in dealing with all these — with the incoming information? How was he in asking the questions of military commanders (inaudible)?”
Psaki: “Well, I would say that anyone who’s watched the President up close, which is most of you, knows that the — putting the lives of servicemen and women at risk, and those decisions that you have to make as Commander-in-Chief, weigh heavily on him. And as I noted a few minutes ago, any day where you lose servicemembers is — may be the worst day of your presidency, and hopefully there’s not more. But we are certainly early in the presidency at this point in time.“

390 Cognewaugh Road, originally asking $1.150 million, has dropped to $975,000. I like it, although it’s obviously not a house for two adults and five kids, say.
Drawbacks: 1 acre in the R-2 zone, and some of that encompasses the pond on the property; 1962 construction of unknown condition to this writer, though that’s what building inspections are for; and its location on Cognewaugh — about the middle — is inconvenient.
But so what? The listing suggests it would make a nice weekend retreat, but I can easily see it as a full-time residence, for the right person or couple.
The town’s appraised it at $791,300, and that, depending on condition, might be the right price. Cheap digs, for Greenwich.
Gee, how could that be?

CLAIM: THE U.S. NEWS LAW SCHOOL RANKINGS ARE RACIST. “The only schools enrolling black students at the same level as their representation in the general population are the schools U.S. News ranks so poorly that they are not even assigned a numerical ranking.”
I’d look to the quality of students being churned out by our “inner-city” schools before I’d scream illegal discrimination. The top schools snap up the best black students,* even drastically lowering their standards to snag ‘em. What’s left go … elsewhere.
That's all right, my trust in ALL our institutions dropped to zero in the same period

Pew survey: The number of Republicans with even some trust in media dropped by half in past 5 years.
I can’t imagine how there can still be any Republicans or independents who still trust these people, even a little, but another year of COVID panic should finish the job.
Pending on Clapboard Ridge Road
/
148 Clapboard Ridge (no link) asking $3.695 million. Contracts in 38 days, so probably selling for close to that price. Typical 1993 construction, the owners paid $3.950 for it in 2007 — our last highwater mark — and tried for $3.995 in 2016-17, without success.
I’m receiving some flack by buyers’ agents about using pictures from the MLS when the regular online photos have been taken down, so here are some representative shot of other homes, instead:

And another Riverside contract
/
15 Terrace Avenue, which was asking $3.295 million. Given the short time between listing and signed contract — 14 days, — it won’t surprise me if it’s selling for above-ask.
These owners are doing well, regardless, because they paid $2.865 in 2018, but the original builder in 2016 must have had his initial expectations dashed when the market rejected his original price of $3.795. That didn’t work out — what gets into builders’ heads? — and he had to rent it out for a year before bringing it back on in 2017 at $3.5.
