Yes it ends up with the King.

The King per se has more information, more than any of us. There comes a time when we just have to trust our leaders. Sometimes they are untrustworthy but I hope most will rise to the occasion. Just like in war

When Clinton did his Bosnia Herzegovina thing I was very unsure about it but decided although I did not like him or his principles he was president and he knew more about the situation than I did. I hoped and trusted that all was right. I still am unsure what all happened there and don’t mean to re hash it.

I just mean to point out that those in charge simply have to be trusted at times. There’s not much else to do.

“WE stopped Y2K”

Can we pause for a me too moment?

Millions of manhours went in to preventing that catastrophe.

Some people insist on playing in traffic because the road hasn’t been busy before.

“Run the numbers....”

With an R0 over 2, eventually everyone on the planet gets it.

Until vaccine.

If everyone gets it, & kids aren’t affected...it becomes a childhood disease (IF it sticks around) and the vaccine becomes irrelevant.

yoo hoo

From a poster on Instapundit:
Herschel Smith Katybuzz • 19 minutes ago

Oh, it was engineered alright. At UNC-Chapel Hill, with the assistance of a Chi-com.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4797993/

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/11/151110115711.htm

Note the wording; “ ...we generated and characterized a chimeric virus.” She didn’t just study it, she generated it.

Next up, I’ll leave you to do the research about study of this virus in Canada by the same Chinese lady, and the fact that she had her badge pulled and was ejected from the country, with the Canadian police still in the active investigation mode.

I think what happened was WHO declaring the virus a pandemic gave all the auto-pilot public figures the jolt that told them they needed to do something.

Worthless bureaucrats referring to Article 4, Section III, Part 2, Paragraph d of their state/county/city Public Health Regulations to figure out, "Hey, the WHO declared this virus a pandemic. I guess we need to file form 2479 to implement mitigation actions". It's like we have become the Vogons from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

The local Walmart is now wiped out for hand sanitizer (has been for a while), TP (just today), and the meds aisle was decimated. Still plenty of water, canned goods, some rice, beans, canned meats, oatmeal, etc.

I watched CNN for a few minutes because they were interviewing the infectious disease director of the New Rochelle hospital.

She seemed highly intelligent, highly motivated, thinking carefully about make this work for her patients.

Here is the numbers she is looking at.

A week ago there was one citizen in the New Rochelle area who tested positive for the virus. Today there are over a hundred.

She has two ventilator machines which can serve four people if she stretches and put two people in a room.

After that she has to bring in equipment from another hospital (if she can find it) or move her patients to another hospital (if they will take them).

Right in the interview they asked her “What about next week?” “Won’t the number of patients be a lot larger?”

I wanted to cry for her.

She is one week for her world being destroyed, and patients dying on her watch.

One week.

Run the numbers.

“Flattening the curve...”

Nice talk for med school.

In the real world—she and her counterparts around the country are going to get crushed by any shape of the curve.

The US has hidden it for 2 months.

Did she say anything about having HIV retrovirals and Remdesevir (?) which apparently are having decent results when tested on some severe COVID-19 patients?
