Wisconsin has a high level of Covid-19, but the wrecker plans to increase it with an anti-mask campaign rally.
*With the president’s re-election in doubt, cabinet departments are scrambling to finish dozens of new rules.*
A strict lock-down has nearly finished eliminating Covid-19 in Victoria (a state of Australia), and Melbourne is starting to relax its isolation rules.
Australia is in a position to eradicate Covid-19 and keep it out, if it proceeds carefully and continues a high rate of testing.
Arguing that Victoria could have eliminated Covid-19 in 6 weeks with a more strict lockdown.
That conclusion is from modeling, and we don't have enough real experience with Covid-19 to be sure of the conclusions. But if they are valid, I think that strict restrictions for 6 weeks would be better than 4 weeks of dithering followed by 10 weeks of increasing strictness.
However, we shouldn't criticize Victoria's officials too much. Perhaps they could have done better, but they did get the job done while so many countries are messing it up.
A fanatical French Muslim murdered a teacher who had presented in class a cartoon mocking Muhammad, as an example in a discussion of freedom of speech.
In response, teachers vow to teach "difficult subjects" and encourage students' "critical spirit".
Imagine if that were in the US: the student would claim that showing him the cartoon was "violence" and demand firing the teacher.
