This is a riveting account by a pulmonologist who went into cytokinesis as part of fighting coronavirus and actually lived to tell the tale:

I especially love this:
The failure has echoes of the period leading up to 9/11: Warnings were sounded, including at the highest levels of government, but the president was deaf to them until the enemy had already struck.
This is not the same as 9/11 at all. Yes, we would later learn that intelligence officials were raising alarms up the chain that were mostly ignored or deferred due to inter-agency penis waving. It was an epic fuck up but one basically unknown to the public until much later.
No, this is like 9/11 with Osama bin Laden going on every American news network in July saying, āhey you guys, in a few months Iām going to have some of my men hijack several airplanes and fly them into buildings in New York and DC - just thought you may want to be aware of this!ā and nobody in the US government does anything about it - itās decided to just hope for the best. On 9/12, W has a press conference and starts blaming Bill Clinton for not doing more and telling New Yorkers that they should have been more prepared and to clean up their own mess.

Just to dog pile that metaphor here, it would also be as if we all knew the hijackers were in control of the planes and in mid flight while the President and his supports were all messaging that it was just a media hoax. Canāt stop flights cus the economy, oh and people die in planes all the time.

Norwegian health authorities have declared that the pandemic has been stopped in Norway, with the infection value R_0<1.
Hopefully people donāt interpret this to mean they can stop socially isolating, since the country is still full of infected and infectious people.

Odds on whether Dr. Fauciās days in govāt are numbered? Il Douche tends not to tolerate facts, nor those who embrace them over him.

God helps those who help themselves. Too bad some American Christians canāt follow that creed like these folks do.
