What One Covid-19 Cluster on an Airplane Tells Experts About Risk Factors While Flying
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
What this report tells us is clear. Short range sustained contact with a sick person will produce infections. It is what we thought and conforms to the hospital and care home experiences. The better news is that after three feet or so your risk drops quickly even in a cabin environment where air is circulating. All this tells us that the fever test is likely enough to protect most of us getting on a plane. There remains no evidence that masks help at all. Best practice is to take your seat and stay put. *What One Covid-19 Cluster on an Airplane Tells Experts About Risk Fact...
How a Damaged Drainage System May Lead to More Severe Concussions
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
One in five victims of concussion have long lasting effects that confirm real damge. Scale of the concussion is not particularly critical either. Thus even mild blows to the head demand protection. None of this can be obvious as most injuries do heal within two weeks suggesting no impairment. Yet those impaired are impaired for weeks allowing the possibility of further damage. We need to pin this down and obviate it so most achive full recovery if possible. Much better is a good start though. We need to stop successive injuries and some sports may ultimately have to be comple...
Religious Books Seized and Burned in Communist China, Believers Given Jail Terms

Essentially the CCP has declared war against about a third of its population who are going elsewhere or even not at all for some form of spiritual guidance. Think of what that means. A small minority of mostly stupid people are telling folks how they are allowed to think. The potential for great evil is unrelenting. They are now progressively cranking up the pressure I must assume everywhere.. When does this trigger the emergence of committees of correspondence to form full on community resistence?

Bill de Blasio Seven Year Report Card As New York City Mayor
Francis Menton, Manhattan Contrarian - 1 day ago
* On January 1, 2021, our progressive true-believer mayor, Bill de Blasio, began his eighth year in office. Since he is limited to two terms under current law, this will be his last year, unless something changes. * Now that another crowd of progressive true-believers has just swept to power in Washington, it seems like an appropriate time to look at how the seven years of super-progressive government have served us in New York. * Recall that when de Blasio became Mayor in January 2014, he followed 20 years of at least nominally Republican mayors, Rudy Giuliani (1994-2001) and Mike ...

The Mystical and Mental Drivers of History
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 1 day ago
The decisive forces of history are not materialistic but mystical and mental. Events which make history—revolutions, revolts, wars, cultural movements, purges, assassination of political figures, and coups—rarely happen due to objective and demonstrable facts; they happen due to the motivations related to religion, myths, a biased sense of history, the ruling elite’s sense of honor and lust for glory, doubtful reports compiled by intellectuals and spy agencies, ideologies which cannot be proved or disproved, and the desire to create a promised land (utopia). The mystical and menta...

Ian Welsh's essays always provide the most light around (not to overlook his commenters who flesh things out nicely, so to speak). Mark Pontin January 20, 2021 Hugh wrote: ‘We should take a moment to consider Trump’s accomplishments. He killed 400,000 Americans, as many as died in World War II, and he did it in one year not the 3 1/2 the war took.’ We should take more than a moment. In the UK
Could An Artificial-Intelligence Arms Race Lead To A World War?
War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 1 day ago
*Roger Boyles, The Australian/The Times:* *Artificial-intelligence arms race could lead to world war* You can get a copy of General Sir Richard Shirreff’s 2017 War with Russia for about $5.70 online and I am sure you can still grab a discounted 2020 World of War by two defence buffs. For a decade or more this period has been tipped as the time when all the buzzing global tensions would reach a Wagnerian climax. Instead we ended up catching COVID-19 and stayed at home. There is, however, a chance that 2021 could be the year: artificial intelligence is feeding into military calcula...

Rain of Terror: Hitler's Bombing of the British Isles
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* The battle for Britain was won by the courage of airmen, soldiers, firemen, rescue workers, and ordinary citizens. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Britons proved that a free people cannot be defeated by airpower alone. First, there was a faint drone, with black specks visible in the sunny sky. Then the drone grew into a thunder, and hundreds of bombers appeared over London. In the British capital’s East End on that afternoon of Saturday, September 7, 1940, people went out into the drab, terraced streets to stare upward. They were horr...

No Substitute for Strategy: What’s Wrong with “Defending Forward”
Gil Barndollar, Justin Logan, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Gil Barndollar, Justin Logan* *Foreign Policy, United States* The Foundation for the Defense of Democracies' latest report promises a restoration of the worst foreign policy ideas since the end of the Cold War. It should be ignored. President Joe Biden has entered office promising reform at home and restoration abroad. But American foreign policy needs new thinking, not a return to the past. Despite the serial incompetence of the Trump administration and the poison pills it left behind, the two decades preceding Donald Trump were a time of massive American overreach, and yes, “...

*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Americas* The recent spate of collisions echoes a succession of even more catastrophic accidents aboard U.S. aircraft carriers between 1966 and 1968 that between them claimed the lives of more than two hundred sailors. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The incident was a timely warning of the danger of overworking a crew beyond the limits of its manpower; it also demonstrated the vital importance of ensuring that munitions were properly designed with high heat tolerances to avoid accidental detonation.

Is America Headed Towards an Inflation Crisis?
James Pethokoukis, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*James Pethokoukis* *economy, Americas* Policymakers should avoid making massive fiscal bets that the future will be the same as the recent past. At the end of last year, Congress passed and President Trump signed a $900 billion COVID-19 relief bill. Of course, that was hardly the first fiscal action taken by Washington in response to the pandemic. There was also the $8.3 billion Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, the $2.3 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economy Security Act, and the $483 billion Paycheck Protection Program and Health Car...

American Healthcare System Failed Black Americans
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 1 day ago
There are certain policy positions that are such a slam dunk that if someone does not support them, I can’t take anything they say seriously, nor can I trust their judgement. Medicare for All is one of those polices. It is the most pro-black legislation in mainstream political discourse right now. Our black leaders, such as Jim Clyburn, teaming up with health insurance companies and Big Pharma, are why the state of healthcare in the African American community is so bleak, as I laid out in my previous article Liberals, for good reason, hold social wedge issues as their primary litmu...
