excellent analysis of covid state of play
From Julia Doubleday.
"Each time a new wave crops up, the media scrambles to let the public know that COVID is spreading “again” ... But each time, it fails to inform the public that nearly half of COVID cases are asymptomatic, that COVID looks different in different patients, that vaccines do not prevent infections, that rapid tests have high false negative rates, and that COVID is fully airborne.
"Taken together, the virus I’m describing is much more difficult to control than the one the press presents. The press frames the virus as something that can be halted by familiarizing yourself with the symptoms, staying home once you feel sick and test positive, and avoided altogether by simply getting vaccinated or keeping ones’ distance from sick people. ...
"The misinformation that reigns in liberal spaces is not the result of accidental miscommunication. People don’t know that the virus is asymptomatic 40% of the time because there is simply no universe where that virus is controllable without an elimination strategy, or a day-to-day mitigation strategy."

Attached: 1 image 🔥🔥🔥 TRIGGER WARNING 🔥🔥🔥 Truly SHOCKING video reporting here by #AP, about US contractors in Gaza firing live ammo at Palestinians as they come for food aid. IMHO, this is one of those times when it's important to bear witness, unless it would be too distressing to watch the footage. Will be shocked if this does not explode in the news. https://youtube.com/watch?v=63XTo2EyLZA&si=w9W1uKIMznffVone .#Israel #Hezbollah #Hamas #Houthi #Gaza #Palestine #Lebanon …

The current holder of high office has shown himself to be unfit to lead a free and just society.
* He disrespects women, mocking survivors of violence and stripping away their rights.
* He fuels racism and white supremacy, scapegoating communities of color and denying their equality.
* He assaults free speech, attacking the press, punishing dissent, and spreading disinformation.
