If you’ve ever worked in emergency management, as I have, or in a nuke setting, as I have, you would know that it really is important to know whether the sky is really falling or not, because some of your biggest collateral damage is going to come from panicbots who drive themselves or other, less sensible folks into harmful acts. This is serious, and that is exactly why self-control and realistic assessment is imperative.

You’re right. The problem always comes when information isn’t forthcoming and we are left to speculate.

A couple of things seem indicative- upthread I read a post saying authorities are keep poeople from entering within 60 kilometers of the nuke site, and they’re advising iodine.

It’s hard to know what’s real at this point.

Can't be stressed enough, in my opinion. Thanks for being a voice of reason and calm.
