Trump Didn't CAUSE The Pandemic-- But The Catastrophic Results In The U.S. Are His Fault. He Wants To Blame Biden... And His Brain-Dead Base Is Fine With That

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 16 hours ago
*When will Trump turn on DeSantis & other failing GOP governors?* I keep reading about how governors get much better approval ratings for their handling of the pandemic than Trump does. Well, of course! But I always ask myself what about the governors who are actually doing an even *worse* job than Trump, like Kristi Noem (R-SD), Brian Kemp (R-GA), Pete Ricketts (R-NE), Ron DeSantis (FL), Greg Abbott (R-TX), Kim Reynolds (R-IA)... do their constituents even know? I found a poll a couple weeks ago that showed Florida voters were rating DeSantis slightly worse than Trump. But the *Was... more »

How Should Governments Send out Public Health Messages?

Aulona Ulqinaku at The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Aulona Ulqinaku* *Public Health, World* [image: Reuters] There is lots of research into the way brands communicate that suggests some tones work better than others when it comes to getting your message across. While lockdown measures are being lifted in some parts of the world, the situation for millions remains the same: stuck at home due to social distancing, worried and looking to their government for news about when life may return to normal. The way national leaders and governments are choosing to communicate complex and unsettling public health information about COVID-19 ... more »

How Hedgehogs Are Benefitting From Coronavirus

Lauren Moore at The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Lauren Moore* *Public Health, Europe* [image: Reuters] Lower traffic volume means less animal lives taken. Roads are an unforgiving place for wildlife. The almost constant rush of cars, lorries, vans and buses means that animals brave enough to attempt a crossing risk a swift death. Collisions with vehicles kill millions of animals worldwide each year. In fact, it’s the largest human-driven cause of death for vertebrate land animals, even surpassing hunting. The hums, beeps and vibrations from vehicles extend for kilometres from the road itself. Artificial light that shrouds ro... more »

Iran Still Uses this Massive 'Zombie' Cannon (Made in America)

The M110 is based on the smaller M115 howitzer, a towed artillery piece that in its ultimate configuration was designed in 1939, but owed its development to a post-World War I heavy howitzer. The M110 could fire a massive eight-inch artillery shell nearly 20 miles away. Even though it’s retired with the ... more »

*Sander van der Linden, Costas Panagopoulos, John Kerr* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] Political polarisation remains clear in responses to COVID-19. While the coronavirus does not discriminate across party lines, the same is not true the other way around. President Donald Trump has accused Democrats of politicising the outbreak and repeatedly downplayed the pandemic’s significance, initially comparing the coronavirus to the “regular flu”. In mid April, the president tweeted “LIBERATE VIRGINIA, and save your great 2nd Amendment. It is under siege!” as part of a highly con... more »

*Donica Belisle* *Public Health, Americas* [image: Reuters] Canada can use what it knows about food crises to help protect workers. As news of the pandemic began circulating, Canadians hurried to grocery stores, laying in supplies for the upcoming crisis. By mid-March, experts had begun warning against hoarding. There is plenty of food in our supply chain, they said; do not “panic buy” lest we create shortages — and very real hardships — for vulnerable members of our communities. As an historian of Canadian food, I am alarmed to see how pressures for productivity have endangered... more »

How Coronavirus Proved the Value of Migrant Workers to Canada

Bethany Hastie at The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Bethany Hastie* *Public Health, Americas* [image: Reuters] These workers are often largely invisible to many Canadians, located either in geographically isolated areas, like farms, or indistinguishable at a glance from local working populations. The COVID-19 pandemic has shone a light on a previously hidden population of workers in Canada: temporary migrants. Temporary migrants come to Canada to work in industries such as agriculture, food services, hospitality and care-giving, in jobs that are often characterized by low wages and difficult working conditions. They are jobs tha... more »

When Occupied Europeans Died For the Nazis: The Battle of Demyansk

*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* [image: Russland, Festung Demjansk, Ju 52. January 1942. Bundesarchiv/Ulrich.] Scandinavian volunteers took part in Nazi Germany’s 1942 summer offensive against the Soviets—and paid a heavy price at the Demyansk Pocket.
