Study Says Coronavirus Hits Older Men Harder Than Women
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Public Health, Americas* They have weaker immune systems and are more stubborn about being safe. Men are getting gravely ill and dying from the novel coronavirus more than women, a new study published in *Nature* has confirmed. Older men, particularly those over sixty, infected with coronavirus were found to be up to twice as likely to become severely sick and die as women of the same age, according to Yale University researchers. The chief reason is that men produce a weaker immune response to the coronavirus than women do. “Female patients mounted significa... more »

*Michael Peck* *Security, Asia* “With a single push of a button, the drones can autonomously take off, avoiding colliding in the air and finding their way to their designated target.” *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Up to ten heli-drones can be assembled into a swarm, with Artificial Intelligence guiding and coordinating the group. “The 10 drones can be a combination of different types, including those that can drop proximity explosive mortar shells, while others can carry grenade launchers, or make suicide attacks,” said Global Times.

Conspiracy…Or Ignorance? Why World Leaders Are Covid Copycats
RonPaulLibertyReport Why, with just a few exceptions, have all political leaders pursed virtually the same response to the coronavirus outbreak? Lockdown, “social-distancing,” masks?

“It can now safely be said, as his first term in the White House draws toward closure, that Donald Trump’s party is the very definition of a cult of personality." #QotD
* “It can now safely be said, as his first term in the White House draws toward closure, that Donald Trump’s party is the very definition of a cult of personality. It stands for no special ideal. It possesses no organising principle. It represents no detailed vision for governing. Filling the vacuum is a lazy, identity-based populism that draws from that lowest common denominator [former SC governor Mark] Sanford alluded to. If it agitates the base, if it lights up a Fox News chyron, if it serves to alienate sturdy real Americans from delicate coastal elites, then it’s got a plac... more »

Wildfire, Hurricanes, Floods And Droughts Quadrupled In Cost Since 1980
In the last 40 years, 663 disasters linked to climate change in the United States killed 14,223 people. The total cost: an estimated $1.77 trillion, a bit more than Canada's Gross National Product in 2018. Economic losses in Europe resulting from climate-linked extreme weather from 1980 to 2017 were lower, totaling $537 billion. The difference was the cost of tropical storms, which don't affect Europe but accounted for nearly half of the U.S. total costs. The report analyzed data going back to 1980 from several sources, including a database of the National Oceanic and Atmospheri... more »

Might Belarus Become The Next Syria?
There are signs that Russia is intervening in the Belarusian crisis (finally!) First and foremost, we can see a truly radical change in Lukashenko’s policies: if his initial instinct was to unleash brutal repression of both the violent rioters and the peaceful demonstrators, now he has made a 180 and the outcome is quite amazing: on Sunday there were large anti-Lukashenko demonstrations yet not a single person was detained. Not one. Even more amazing is this: the Polish-run Nexta Telagram channel (which is the main medium used by the Empire to overthrow Lukashenko) initially ca... more »
