    The response of our nation’s leaders has been consistently inadequate. The federal government has largely abandoned disease control to the states. Governors have varied in their responses, not so much by party as by competence. But whatever their competence, governors do not have the tools that Washington controls. Instead of using those tools, the federal government has undermined them. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which was the world’s leading disease response organization, has been eviscerated and has suffered dramatic testing and policy failures. The National Institutes of Health have played a key role in vaccine development but have been excluded from much crucial government decision making. And the Food and Drug Administration has been shamefully politicized,3 appearing to respond to pressure from the administration rather than scientific evidence. Our current leaders have undercut trust in science and in government,4 causing damage that will certainly outlast them. Instead of relying on expertise, the administration has turned to uninformed “opinion leaders” and charlatans who obscure the truth and facilitate the promulgation of outright lies.

    Quick temp check from those following this saga...what’s more likely to you:

    1) he’s mostly fine and they’re treating him aggressively as a precaution

    2) he’s suffering serious complications

    just curious where people’s heads are at currently..

    3) it's way too early to tell.

    What is the strategic disinformation being floated for security purposes?

    You rube. This is a classic honeypot.

    It's where your lungs fill with fluid like a pot of honey.
