New Covid variants and states reopening

samedi 6 mars 2021 à 01:00

*US experts warn new Covid variants and states reopening may lead to fourth wave.*

*Fauci: US shouldn't loosen coronavirus restrictions until daily new cases fall below 10,000.*

That is assuming your goal is to make Covid-19 go away. Republicans, who boosted the infection last year and killed perhaps 300,000 Americans who otherwise would not have caught it, are still trying to spread it. Perhaps their motive is that they expect it to kill mainly blacks.

I would add an additional proviso: we should not loosen coronavirus restrictions unless we can determine that R will remain substantially under 1 after they are loosened.

Israeli border thugs gratuitously shoot man dead

samedi 6 mars 2021 à 01:00

Israeli border thugs gratuitously shot Ahmad Erekat dead after he had an embarrassing car crash, then lied about the circumstances.

Thugs in various countries have a practice of thinking, "What accusations can we make against the victim that no one can disprove." But in this case they seem to have exceeded that limit.

When my friends die, I miss them. It doesn't matter whether I even see their corpses. But it occurs to me that there may be a sinister reason why Israel holds permanently the corpses of Palestinians that Israelis kill: to prevent autopsies that could provide objective evidence about how they were killed. Making this a blanket policy avoids the need to conjure up an individual excuse.
