Model That Claimed Only Lockdown Works To Prevent Coronavirus Spread Was Flawed, Shows New Look
Hank Campbell, Science 2.0 blogs - 11 hours ago
If you believe the Chinese government, they've had basically no meaningful COVID-19 deaths since March. I'd also like to sell you a wet market in Wuhan. Believing a dictatorship that has routinely lied has been disastrous. It was disastrous for the reputation of the World Health Organisation, who claimed no travel should be curtailed and that the virus could not spread from human to human because China told them that, it was disastrous for the doctor who exposed the Wuhan cover-up (he became dead), and it was disastrous for the world economy, which could take a decade to recover.

Is Donald Trump Really Trying to Start a Coup?
Jacob Heilbrunn, The National Interest - 8 hours ago
*Jacob Heilbrunn* *Donald Trump Coup, Americas* Trump has been continually ratcheting up tensions. His prolonged phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has triggered calls that he is trying to engineer a coup with his call to “find” votes for him. If Donald Trump is trying to help the Republican Party retain the Senate, then he has a curious way of going about it. His latest maneuver is to announce that he will disclose the “real numbers” of the November presidential election at a rally tonight in Georgia, where he is supposed to stump for Kelly Loeffler an...

Their personal reputations and careers were at stake and their country’s existence as a democracy hung in the balance.

The Biden administration’s expected policy toward the Iranian nuclear question will likely be comprised of two phases. Part one will be an interim de-escalatory stage in which Tehran’s rolls back its violations of the 2015 nuclear deal in exchange for a respite from the economic stranglehold that Trump’s “maximum pressure” sanctions policy imposed.
