I don't think antibodies are coded in your DNA
The business ends of antibodies are proteins, proteins are coded in DNA. Before the DNA-protein relationship was understood (Fifties), immunologists came up with a few theories to explain the vast number of different antibodies that a body could produce. One proposed mechanism was called the Generator Of Diversity.

Here We Go Again
Wall Street Pandemonium! Oil trading at negative prices was not something many had in the office pool. In the same vein as "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" we're wondering what an economy looks like when no one can buy anything. Oil - who needs it?!?
Skipped ahead to point out to TK and others that the fellow whose video he posted on the previous thread and plans to emulate has won the primary and is the GOP nominee for Lt. Gov:

Liberate Michigan!?! I am firmly of two minds on this. As I noted a few days back, we have a serious Two Americas problem. The Acela corridor from Boston to Philly is as hard hit as anywhere in the world (IMHO China was more devastated but they are choosing to defy common sense with their number...
Following a link here to Daily Mail. Scoured around for other "news of interest. Notice this: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-8197277/Alanis-Morissette-beams-joy-breastfeeds-baby-son-Winter.html Not a fan, but took a look. She looks great! Aglow suckling her wee bairn (too much Brit TV). Gone is the anorexia and the dreds. But then I thought, 5.4.3.2.1 and we'll get the song about the life being sucked out of her.

That Was A Good Day
Monday was a day for believers. The coronavirus tide may have turned in Italy and Spain. Even NY had two days below 600 new deaths. After a Saturday figure of 630 new deaths, Gov. Cuomo said Sunday's 594 figure may be a "blip". But with Monday at 599, we have a shot at an actual trend developing...

Back From A Brief Break. A Psychotic Break.
OK, wow. Last night I had to go off for a seemingly simple household chore: pick up some Clorox bleach, Fantatik spray cleaner, and Windex. I get down to our local grocery store and... hmmm. Its obvious where the toilet paper used to be next to the paper towels, but those shelves are now empty. ...
More seriously I do wonder about North Korea. It's not like it doesn't share a border with China.
Not much migration into NK

NPR is now Never-Bernie?!?!? Heard an interview around 4:40 PM with a Castro scholar in a Florida university, an actual, honest Casto-hating scholar who thoroughly debunked the "Literacy" argument with the info we've all read elsewhere. And added in a quote from another realist, paraphrased: "We could read, but not what we wanted to read. We could write, but not what we were thinking"

Debate Debacle
Train wreck. Bloomberg stanched the bleeding, Biden gaffed away as he's done since the 80's, Bernie had a rough night but hung on and CBS needs to put their moderators back in their clown car and drive off. Drive off a cliff. For a view from the left the Times Team picks their winners and losers.
I'm lurking most nights, perpetual catchup.

Break up the Titans! After watching the Titans dominate and humiliate the Ravens, one wonders whether Brady and Belichick are a bit less to blame for falling to the Titan wrecking ball. Today I'll be wrong about the Chiefs and the Seahawks.

The Walls Are Closing In On Trump
The Times finally runs the "John Dean moment" story they probably outlined months ago. Still waiting for a smoking gun, but I know they are ready with that headline as well. Definitely a tipping point.

Trouble For Trump
This Sondland testimony doesn't sound as bad as the headline but its not helpful for Trump. And another brutal poll, this time from Gallup, showing a slim majority in favor of "Impeach/Remove". The increase is driven by Democrats and Independents, but still.
We still have work to do here! SV Delos is a diversion.

OK, here we go. I missed a day or two in there.
One of my large concerns: many would-be Hillary voters, assured she would win by the polls and the general zeitgeist, didn't bother to vote in 2016. They will bother in 2020. In spades.
