*Jenny Meredith* *Health, Americas* Pairing widespread testing with fast, effective contact tracing is considered essential for controlling the coronavirus’s spread as the U.S. passes 100,000 deaths. After weeks of keeping people home to “flatten the curve,” restrictions on U.S. businesses are loosening and the coronavirus pandemic response is moving into a new phase. Two things will be critical to keep COVID-19 cases from flaring up again: widespread testing to quickly identify anyone who gets the virus, and contact tracing to find everyone those individuals might have passed i... more »

"The Chessboard"
"The chessboard is the world; the pieces are the phenomena of the universe; the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us. We know that his play is always fair, and patient. But also we know, to our cost, that he never overlooks a mistake, or makes the smallest allowance for ignorance." - Thomas Huxley

"We condemn those who would undermine our democracy by spreading lies to our fellow citizens"
The Poet: Fernando Pessoa, "Follow Your Destiny"
*"Follow Your Destiny"* "Follow your destiny, Water your plants, Love your roses. The rest is shadow Of unknown trees. Reality is always More or less Than what we want. Only we are always Equal to ourselves. It’s good to live alone, And noble and great Always to live simply. Leave pain on the altar As an offering to the gods. See life from a distance. Never question it. There’s nothing it can Tell you. The answer Lies beyond the Gods. But quietly imitate Olympus in your heart. The gods are gods Because they don’t think About what they are." - Fernando Pessoa

*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* [image: British Landings on Walcheren. 1 November 1944. Imperial War Museum/Stiggins (Sergeant), No 5 Army Film & Photographic Unit] A key piece of Dutch real estate needed to be taken if the port of Antwerp were to become useful to the Allies. Look at a map of Holland. At the extreme southwest corner, connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway, is a peninsula known as Walcheren Island jutting into the North Sea. Think of Walcheren Island as a bowl, with raised edges and a depressed center (in this case, below sea level). Flowing ... more »
How Europe’s CHEOPS Satellite Will Improve the Hunt for Exoplanets
*Jason Steffen* *Technology, * By better understanding the properties of planets orbiting other stars, astronomers can better understand the nature of the planets in our own solar system. While the planet has been on lockdown the last two months, a new space telescope called CHEOPS opened its eyes, took its first pictures of the heavens and is now open for business. The CHEOPS mission adds a unique twist in the science that the public normally associates with planet discovery missions like Kepler and TESS. Kepler and TESS produced many groundbreaking discoveries and brought the... more »

*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* [image: Wrecked vehicles at Calais railway station. May 1940. German Federal Archive.] Roads choked with traffic as the German army approached. During the afternoon of May 16, 1940, flames rose from the block of Foreign Office buildings on the Quai d’Orsay in Paris.

I can't keep up with this. That's why this is my second extension of the May 30 blog on the U.S. riots. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/may/31/george-floyd-protests-reporters-targeted-by-police-and-crowds Besides France, there are protests in Britain. And in Montreal, the city I lived most of my life in, there are demonstrations planned for today. It's hard to know what is causing all this. Britain has never been friendly to Blacks. Montreal has a long history of open discrimination and persecution. For most of the hockey history of Montreal, only one Black has ever been... more »

Highway 61 revisited
With Minnesota in the news, I was reminded of how much American politics has changed during my lifetime. In the 1984 election, Minnesota was the only blue state. That’s partly because Walter Mondale was from Minnesota, but not entirely. In the 1988 election, the Dems won Minnesota by 7 points vs. only 4 points in […] The post Highway 61 revisited appeared first on Econlib.
