Someone with a compromised immune system dying of a disease that has mild symptoms in the five other people who have ever been diagnosed with the disease is the opposite of terrifying.

This is the first time for me as well, and it sounds likely to be the last.

If they didn't do it they get the same 'not guilty' verdict, so what is the recourse for someone who was falsely charged?

I am specifically thinking of the US where there are a lot of black men falsely convicted of violent crimes they did not commit because of racist eye witness testimony or even victims who blame a random black person to avoid social stigma and prosecutors who want higher conviction rates.

A mystery for the ages.

How about instead of a buffer zone we just make Russia stay within its own borders?

This is how social systems work.

Forcing minorities off transportation/out of businesses/etc. was also how racist social systems work. Sure, society has improved enough that it is currently more likely to have bad actors be the ones being excluded now, but history shows that socially enforced norms can be used for good and evil.

HELPS REDUCE ODORS – Keeping your boots, shoes, and gloves dry is the key to keeping them stink-free. Dry time Warm-up (30 mins); Damp (8 hours); Wet (12 hours).

Great suggestion!

Not to mention that not everyone has fingers.

I just caught that you live in Florida, and the humidity could be the issue. If you have a spare fan, putting the boots in front of it to circulate the air might help since the waterproofing means the only moisture exit is where your foot goes in. Doesn't need to blow into the boot, just across it so the air gets moved around.

How deplorably evil.

Do you use synthetic, cotton, or wool socks?

Wool socks help with odor control because of how they wick away moisture and although they advertise synthetic socks also being good at that they tend to get the stinky funk going on. Cotton just holds moisture and gets stinky too, but somewhere between the two.

If nothing else has helped and you are not already wearing wool socks, I would give that a try. A lot of brands do a blend of wool and synthetic so they might end up being stinkier than 100% wool. Wool is expensive, but holds up really well and is totally worth it.
