"Dr. Robert Kim-Farley, an epidemiologist at UCLA, said the numbers of hospitalizations and deaths provide a more accurate indicator of the outbreak’s trajectory than the number of cases identified through uneven testing. On Thursday, the total number of deaths in L.A. County nearly doubled in a single day."

bc wonders how long it took for people to use this after the movie.  (’38 Play, films 40; 44).  

1960 14+ years:   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting  I finally viewed the ’40 version (KQED, San Francisco) last year.  

Nostalgia:  In. 1966 I (we) rented a flat in Newcastle under Lyme (More correctly: Basford) across the canal (long gone) from were the original Wedgwood works shipped their pottery.  The sitting room still had a gaslight fixture.  And the Newcastle corporation yard had a huge pile of street gaslights.  I forever regret not getting one and shipping it home to Santa Barbara.
