Very good message:

 

This too;

"This virus doesn't fit neatly into any kind of system of order that makes sense. The whole experience has left me with just a tremendous amount of just pure gratitude and relief. I understand why all of the sacrifices, small and big, are so crucial."

Death toll now stands at 125,484.

I wonder if some people's cavalier attitude would be different if the majority of the deaths were kids, 18 and younger.

Really not down with people calling to question my willingness to sacrifice for others. I gave up my family more than once to go somewhere to train for this. 

If this is how you felt about comments i made then i humbly and profusely apologize.   That was not my intent at all but regardless it's on me.   I have nothing but respect for those that join the military and have to sacrifice in ways i'll never understand.   I've witnessed it with friends and family but can't even imagine the experience.

A new strain of flu that has the potential to become a pandemic has been identified in China by scientists.

It emerged recently and is carried by pigs, but can infect humans, they say.

The researchers are concerned that it could mutate further so that it can spread easily from person to person, and trigger a global outbreak.

While it is not an immediate problem, they say, it has "all the hallmarks" of being highly ad

For sure, if it were kids there would be a panic. When it's old people, everyone is just kinda .

This guy says the pig story is a 'nothing burger'. Last time we heard something similar coming out of China with CV-19. Be on guard.

I see what you did there. That was not appropriate by him at all.

No.  I wasn't thinking about that connotation.   Just hoping for only one pandemic this lifetime..

Yea, then a formal apology that was probably not written by him was sent out.

The concerning thing about that article is that the basic message is that superspreading events are the biggest risk and we are seeing an uptick lately in superspreader type events like rallies, protests, concerts, etc. where people are both meeting in large crowds and not following basic protocols for reducing risk.  As people see these happen, there is more acceptance when the next one happens until the match strikes kindling and you end up a month later doing an analysis on a past event ala the mass church choir spreads, etc.
