I pretty much expected disorganized panic as soon as the virus became personalized, from my own experience trying to educate and prepare people for medical problems. It's like the famous saying that the careful battle plan goes out the window with the first shot actually fired. The media is making it worse and people denying and belittling the problem aren't really helping either: it may be true that the problem is totally overblown but for panicked people arguing doesn't help.

All that could be rationalized as ok, it's the conclusion "therefore I'm at risk" which leads to hostility. Attack the programming by questioning the assumed outcome, not arguing over inner characteristics.

Bill Gates was apparently all teed up with a vaccine. Having the current govt. counter that with 16 other groups of vaccine makers seems good to me, he can't get a pass on fear when he isn't that special. All these makers are going to challenge and criticize each others work like no one else can.

Good work. How can an illegal become a judge?

We've been tapped out lately on fear porn. Big bugs are harder to deal with than little ones, tjough.

I've been waiting for this very thing, but honestly I expected a more persuasive "We've lowered emissions by x much, just need to do a little more!" This isn't the time for more doom and sacrifice.

I want his attorney to head the FBI. He can go back to his old job which he obviously was good at.

Oh man, the adoring comments on this story are as disturbing as 4th degree TDS.

She and her like-minded peers taught the people who taught the sheeple who produced the next generation of peers. It snowballs. If anything in society needs a metaphorical MOAB it's the university system because it drives the lower level education down to kindergarden.

Yes. It's an abuse. And the process of getting tenure depends on department politics. Over not very long time at all the department is a tight little club allowing only like minds in. These like minds are the "peers" in peer-reviewed papers/journals and the reason I scoff at the idea that peer-review means shit.

Aw, Gates gets competition. What a shame for him. I think Trump is on to the medical-industrial complex.

This event has been useful for so many schemes we may never know the original intent. I think it may have been an accident for China that was quickly turned by many parties, including them, into attempts to make money. Other people might well be using that chaos as cover, but opportunistically.

I'll bet! Sunny days are right around the corner and the governor is standing between them and the beach. If you haven't moped through a PNW winter you can't imagine how crazy people get in summer. Also, the 3 months of summer is what keeps the coast going all year. It would be major financial disaster for them to lose any more time.

Before there is redemption there has to be remorse and confession. Not happening for some.

If you only knew how bad it is... the same people who have ruined education have ruined it in medicine... public health is overtly about "programs" which require grant money and succeeding is getting more grant money... PC and fee fees drives interaction.... records are shared more and more for convenience--of what? tracking how many times you reeled off a list of screening questions and gave vaccinations... Vaccinations are an obsession, I can only hope this episode brings about some inquiry into that. And don't even get me started on the professionalism push of nurses which I can see now had a boost from feminism.

I see Yemen didn't make today's list. Their surprise appearance yesterday didn't turn into a real rally after all. Meanwhile Afghanistan continues with the steady scores we've come to expect.

And all the shutdowns were based on the advice of people who seem to be influenced by China, like the WHO and CDC. And the hysteria was fanned by the media, inluenced by China. And it was eagerly adopted by many governors (the ones actually dictating the terms of shutdown), some of whom are obviously catering to China (e.g. Newsome buying $1 billion in masks from China). Sweden is retarded in so many ways now I'm not taking anything they do too seriously, except as a necessary part of the entire global mass of unplanned and uncontrolled pandemic experiments. Sweden is probably not the only non-shutdown country. Too bad there is so much politics in all this data, if it were honestly and dispassionately reported and analyzed we would be making a great leap forward in public health.

If it shut things down and hurt us economically, it is as much of a weapon as torpedoes sent against an expensive ship: except better, because in the case of torpedoes we'd shoot back and in the case of a virus they can give conflicting stories to add to the confusion. The Chinese method of war is death by a thousand ankle-biting cuts. Read Sun Tzu--he recommends confusion to keep the enemy in constant disarray.

I never heard of Law Day before, gives me some hope that it isn't an archaic concept.

I wish. The closest ocean is Puerto Penasco in Mexico, which is something of an American colony.
