The Impact Of The Pandemic Will Be Worse Than Most People Think-- And Trump Is Making That Worse Every Time He Opens His Mouth

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 2 minutes ago
Is the official U.S. government policy towards the pandemic reflected by the White House guidelines-- or by Trump's misleading, sociopathic twitter feed? They are often on opposite sides of the fence. And that's not even the stuff that Fauci says that contradicts Trump's ranting and raving. In fact yesterday, Fauci told CNN that he wears a mask in public not only to protect himself and others but also because he "want to make it be a symbol for people to see that that’s the kind of thing you should be doing." This while very low-IQ Trump Death Cultists, encouraged by their pathet... more »

Has Australia Really Avoided 14,000 Coronavirus Deaths?

Adrian Esterman at The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Adrian Esterman* *Coronavirus, Oceania* Just about every statistic quoted about COVID-19 is either an educated guess, based on modelling, or is so full of caveats it’s difficult to interpret. Australia’s chief medical officer Brendan Murphy told a senate inquiry earlier this week our COVID-19 public health response had avoided about 14,000 deaths. This is in contrast to his deputy Paul Kelly, who estimated on March 16 that Australia might have 50,000-150,000 deaths, depending on the percentage of Australians infected.

Prior to the summer of 1941, the United States Marine Corps did not want them. The Navy barely tolerated them in restricted capacities as cooks, waiters, servants for officers, and dockside stevedores. The Army, too, thought they were only good enough to tackle menial duties and perform manual labor. On June 25, 1941, after black labor activist A. Philip Randolph threatened to... more »

India Claims It Has Tracked China's J-20 Stealth Fighter On Radar

Sebastien Roblin at The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Technology, Asia* Is there more to this than meets the eye? *Here's What You Need To Remember: * The Indian Air Force has boasted its Su-30 Flankers have tracked J-20s on radar, but as stealth fighters often employ emitters called “Luneburg Lens” to enlarge their RCS on routine flights, and thus conceal their true capabilities, it’s difficult to infer much from this either. In January 2011, the maiden flight of a large, dagger-like grey jet announced that China had developed its first stealth aircraft—the Chengdu J-20 “Mighty Dragon.” Six years later, after s... more »

*Simon Lamb, Timothy Stern* *Nature, Oceania* New Zealand and some scattered islands in the southwest Pacific are perched on the remains of what was once an immensely powerful geological force. We don’t know whether this process is still ongoing today. Back in the 1970s, scientists came up with a revolutionary idea about how Earth’s deep interior works.
