And it still kicked their ass. I think the US is hosed but I think the UK is more hosed. Brazil? Venezuela? Africa? Suppose we do get a vaccine. That's gonna go to the same people the tests go to - the Twitter Checkmark Posse. I guess Indiana could do about 70 tests a day when they tested all 58 people from the Utah Jazz organization.Apparently people can't read fucking graphs, but China contained this thing.
UK is playing this weird "herd immunity" game. They figure let the millennials get sick while the 'boomers hunker down in their flats for four months. I'm willing to bet there's a memo in Downing Street somewhere that says they can cure the pension crisis by allowing some percentage of old people to just fucking kick the bucket.
My implicit trust in Chinese statistics and reported living conditions is a bit perilous, totally agree. LOL, maybe we've been doing too much digging? Nah, actually, it seems mostly retaliatory.
We call it the Spanish Flu because everyone's journalism was heavily censored during WW1 so the only country anyone could report on was neutral Spain. If you were Xi you'd expel the shit out of all American journalists too. Everyone else's journalists? You can threaten their aid if they don't say what you want them to say.
