This paper goes into more detail on why infection control and public health leaders in 2020 were close to a century out of date on how infections are transmitted in aerosols. Mechanistic science training is inadequate in many medical programs.

The UK COVID inquiry recently found a week's dithering in *one* incident wasted 23,000 lives.
That's the teeniest, tiniest tip of the iceberg.
Institutional medicine's strongest connection to science is greed to control it. When they 🤬 it up and kill people, there are zero consequences.

The negligent, outdated beliefs of medicine's management class (everywhere; from the UK inquiry here) contrasted with well-understood science from 👉1934👈. If you got sick after being told that COVID falls to the ground within 3 feet and N95/FFP2/FFP3 respirators aren't needed, 👉it was their fault.👈

'Covid doesn't affect children.'
It sounded magical. Like a virus falling to the ground within a six foot radius, the magical fifteen minutes of close contact or the magical filtration properties of a gappy surgical mask.

Btw we already had someone to do 11.7% of work tasks, they were called "a secretary" and the suits decided it was cheaper to make everyone do their own emails and schedules.
But you can add up any number of secretaries and still not get one programmer, or architect, or nurse.

"But actually he was granted asylum on YOUR watch" is neither a gotcha nor particularly helpful for the interests of justice. It infers both that there was something wrong with the grant (and I have seen no evidence of that) and that the Trump admin is being too generous with asylum generally (lol)
Trump refuses to directly admit his administration granted the DC shooter asylum and then wraps up the press availability

As someone who actually has ancestors granted manumission, this always infuriates me. You know how folks contest wills they *knew* were accurate because they wanted more? Guess what was a common occurrence with posthumous manumission? Yup! All the sin-free good intentions for none of the freedom.
Apropos of nothing, can we do away with the "but they freed the people they enslaved in their will!" arguments? If you knew enough to know it was wrong to enslave people after you died, you shouldn't be praised when you profited from their forced labor when you were alive.

Confirmed: Earlier this morning a photog overheard agents inside the parking garage say “dismissed,” believed to be calling off their planned mass raid.
A source tells me they had planned for *hundreds* of agents to flood Canal St. They got flooded instead.
