I'd cut and paste, but the article is huge. It's basically a "they saw it coming and did nothing" summary a la post 9/11, but a la 9/11 this is going to cost virtually no one in charge their jobs. Possibly not even the Incompetent/Incontinent-in-Chief.

The US surgeon general warned the country on Sunday that it will face a “Pearl Harbor moment” in the next week, with an unprecedented numbers of coronavirus deaths expected coast to coast.
“The next week is going to be our Pearl Harbor moment. It’s going to be our 9/11 moment,” Jerome Adams told NBC News’ Meet the Press.
“It’s going to be the hardest moment for many Americans in their entire lives, and we really need to understand that if we want to flatten that curve and get through to the other side, everyone needs to do their part.”

Weird analogy imo. Suggests some big aggressive reaction.

or maybe five spice!
the U.S. surgeon general referred to next week as both a 9/11 moment and a pearl harbor moment, in two separate interviews today. also threw in rosie the riveter. i like him! he doesn't get to speak much during the trump rally coronavirus updates. but i like that he's using those kinds of old school metaphors - maybe those resonate with the older folks a little more (aka, those most at risk if they get it, and also a group of people that are prone to complaining and stubborn refusals to do things)

My pet theory for why some old people fail to take it seriously is pride. Like, if you've got that far in life there's a certain pride in thinking that you've seen things the younger generation hasn't and there's nothing new under the sun so anything that messes with that shape to your life is upsetting.

I am not looking forward to when COVID-19 hits the prisons. Given how poor prison medical care is, I expect the mortality will be much higher than average.

The city of San Francisco is not moving any unhoused people from the streets into shelters. Instead, they are CONSOLIDATING people currently living in shelters into larger shelters, forcing crowded conditions. In a pandemic like this, this is murderous https://t.co/PF7esaF4PD— Butt Praxis (@buttpraxis) April 5, 2020

PM Johnson admitted to hospital.
Given one would have to be a hero, out of one's mind, or unable to breathe to enter a hospital right now, that suggests he's on the O2.

He's certainly not the first of those. And I doubt he's the other two tbh. Further tests, they're saying. Meanwhile the Russians are saying he's on a ventilator.

I've been keeping track of my own timeline through this--last day in a school, last movie in a theatre, last coffee in a public place--and I'm pretty sure all of that ended with me no later than March 16. I've been extremely careful since then: walks, grocery store, post office, scarf/gloves/never-close-to anybody. If the incubation period remains at two weeks maximum in almost all cases, than I feel like I can say, with a 90-95% confidence level, that if I were to contract it now, that'd be alarming with regards to the limits of what you can do to stay safe--basically, that never leaving the house is the only option.

Wrong thread, probably.
Didn't Johnson say just a couple of days ago that he was more or less better, but spiked a fever again (or continued to) and was just isolating out of a sense of caution? I wonder what changed?

The Guardian was told last week that Johnson was more seriously ill than either he or his officials were prepared to admit, and that he was being seen by doctors who were concerned about his breathing.

"he did die, but it wasn't of COVID-19. it was of stress from the hysteria of COVID-19!"
The hashtag #FireFauci is trending on Twitter; one of the people promoting it is Celia Farber, who wrote Spin magazine's AIDS column in the 80s and 90s and was a noted proponent of the theory that HIV does not cause AIDS. Really great the way some folks just keep bubbling up.
