Author Aldous Huxley once said, A thoroughly scientific dictatorship will never be overthrown.
Even as we try to battle the COVID-19 pestilence, we may be contracting a more dangerous virus hygienic fascism. This involves a process when our political leaders defer to a handful of experts, amid what Dr. Joseph Ladopo, an associate professor at the UCLA School of Medicine, describes as an atmosphere of COVID-19-induced terror.

DON’T TOUCH YOUR FACE !!
THEY JUST WANT PEOPLE TO DIE!!!!!
The attention should be focused on killing and treating the virus and not in making people flee from the virus and each other.
We are still quite primitive but if the entire world’s scientists focus on the problem and not the various workarounds then it can be probably be dealt with.
There was a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode in its first season where the government took care of everyone, no one seemed to work, had loads of free-tine but where if an arbitrary law was broken, the only penalty was death—strictly enforced.
I can’t remember the name of the episode, but the episode and the handle we gave it descrned the situation we’re currently in: The Planet of the Jogging Nazis.
Re: 7:
I think you mean ST:TNG S:1 E:7 - “Justice”. It was one of the better ones in a dreadful first two years.
Comments on the site not so much. Its a commie circle jerk.
Most of the comments at the end of the article at the link are obviously dems.
As with DU, they are TERRIFIED of this virus and threaten violence against anyone who does not comply with their draconian leaders dictates.
Time to buy more ammo.
The only place where I see the word terrified is with the flubros here. You guys read a storynot this one per seand YOU apply the tone and the hysteria. If you find the first sentence disagreeable, you take a step back and scream WITCH!
If you spent ten seconds and let your mind creep open just a bit...you would realize the only folks running around all excited are those who dont really understand how any of this works.
But, you probably never washed your hands much anyway.
The Dems aren’t terrified of the virus, they just want the economy shut down as long as possible because (they think) it will hurt DJT’s re-election chances.
Some are.
I don’t doubt that what you say is true, but I’ve seen real fear coming from some people.
Science moves at a glacial pace. That said, many scientists are working on the virus, on cures, on diagnostics, etc. We're not in some science fiction show where the science officer and a couple of lab techs bravely work around the clock and come up with a solution within 48 hours, we're in the real world.
The only way right now to beat Covid-19 is to apply the knowledge of disease transmission that we have developed over hundreds of years. We can't wait around for drugs or vaccines.
The Globalists are running a dress rehearsal right now for the Kingdom of the Antichrist.
I am sad to say that things for them are going swimmingly.
I’ll bet your social life is a roaring bonfire. :-)
IIRC, that was the episode where the indigenous people wanted to execute Wesley. Ah, what a missed opportunity.
Natural products can cure a lot of things.
Successfully rescuing Wesley was a bad ending for an otherwise good episode.
