Don't start nothin', won't be nothin'. It's as simple as that. Much better tactic than your classic: start something....then whine and play victim when someone gives it back.
Spy versus Spy COVID edition: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/05/u...espionage.html
Basically spying by top agencies across the globe to uncover advances on vaccine development is the most active it’s been since the Cold War.
The article covers China and Russia spying on US and UK universities but makes barely a passing note on our own activities. No way the CIA isnt doing the same.

Yemen, South Sudan, Nigeria and Congo are now on the verge of famine.
In Indonesia all schools went to remote learning, but 1/3 of kids have no access to internet. I read a story about kids hiking miles down the road to find cell signal and download lesson plans. One kid climbing a tree just to get reception.
No much better here. In NJ theres almost 300,000 kids with no access, almost all in poor minority neighborhoods.
whether its death rates from the actual virus or effects from shutdowns, its clear who gets hit the hardest and fastest.

Trump told a reporter at his news conference today to take off his mask to ask the question because he couldn’t hear him. The reporter refused. Here’s that same reporter after not wearing a mask and not socially distancing

Breaking news!
I wear a mask 98% of the time I am outside, may take it off to get a breather here and there. Don’t plan exactly when I’ll take it off, but do when I feel like I need to breath without it.
We have a still picture of him without a mask to try and make him look like a hypocrite.
Let’s have video of him for an hour to see if indeed he is.
1 Spring Of COVID-19 Took Far Higher Toll Than 5 Flu Seasons, Boston Hospital Finds
https://www.wbur.org/commonhealth/20...m_term=nprnewsQuote:
It's abundantly clear that the coronavirus is far worse than the flu in many ways, and new research from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center offers some numbers that suggest exactly how much worse.
The pre-publication paper compares Beth Israel’s experience with all the flu patients the hospital admitted over five years — more than 1,000 of them — to 583 COVID-19 patients hospitalized in March and April.
“We identified 119 deaths from COVID-19 in two months, compared to 34 deaths from influenza over five seasons, or 40 months," says the paper's lead author, Dr. Michael Donnino. "The ratio of those numbers is just astonishing.“
The number of COVID-19 patients who needed to be on ventilators in the two-month period was more than double the number of flu patients over five seasons — 174, compared to 84 flu patients.
The COVID-19 patients also needed to stay on the ventilators longer — for a median of two weeks compared to three days, says Donnino, an emergency and critical care physician and director of the hospital's Center for Resuscitation Science.
"So taken together," he says, "this illustrates not only the impact on patients and families, but also illustrates how overwhelmed an individual hospital or health care system can become."
Also of concern: The study found that 25% of COVID-19 patients who needed to be on life support had no major pre-existing conditions, compared to just 4% of flu patients on life support.
Donnino has been arguing since early in the pandemic, he says, that "you don't want to create excess worry or panic, but to recognize objectively what differences there are, so that you can take the appropriate precautions when dealing with COVID or flu."
The numbers offer just a snapshot from one hospital, but Donnino believes they're typical for big hospitals this spring in hot spots around the country. The experience at Massachusetts General Hospital confirms that impression.
