I keep hearing how we will have 100-200k dead in the upcoming few weeks. What seems to be missing in a lot of the reporting is these numbers are a best case scenario.

In his first interview with the Los Angeles Port Police, Moreno acknowledged that he âdid it,â saying that he was suspicious of the Mercy and believing it had an alternate purpose related to COVID-19 or a government takeover, the affidavit states. Moreno stated that he acted alone and had not pre-planned the attempted attack. While admitting to intentionally derailing and crashing the train, he said he knew it would bring media attention and âpeople could see for themselves,â referring to the Mercy, according to the affidavit.
In a second interview with FBI agents, Moreno stated that âhe did it out of the desire to âwake people up,ââ according to the affidavit. âMoreno stated that he thought that the U.S.N.S. Mercy was suspicious and did not believe âthe ship is what they say itâs for.ââ

Heh. âGovernment takeover.â
Is that some kinda coded, dog-whistle-y language for⌠what? Crazytown Alex Jones bs? Rush Limbaugh bs? Some other whackadoodle podcaster who happened to snag Morenoâs attention?
Lordy, Iâve lost count of all the dangerous, stochastic terrorist nutjobs with microphones, platforms, followings, social media.
How the hell does one address a pandemic if not for concerted efforts by qualified medical personnel, possibly from our actual government? Is Moreno expecting us to hold bake sales to pay for ventilators, PPE, etc.?
ETA: grammar
