NIH urges Americans to take COVID-19 seriously now
#43
Never in my life would I have imagined linking to Fox News, but here is Tucker Carlson laying out the situation in plain terms.

I think I've had my fill of playing debate club with this topic - if you can't recognize the scope of the changes at hand, there is nothing I can say that'll make any difference. Maybe you'll listen to this Italian and what they are going through.

I'm going to be spending the majority of my time more productively on tasks that can help improve the outcome, as I think the smarter amongst us have already been doing for awhile. My sincere apologies for any sh!t I gave you on this topic. (I should have listened more and argued less.)

I'll drop by and share some info as time allows and hope others do the same.

I am not a butterfly

In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in starting values can result in large differences in a later state.
or
"Does the flap of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas?"

This idea has broadly found its way into popular culture, but if you have a chance and interest, Lorenz's original publications are an elegant set of thought experiments and mathematics.

Dinosaurs, man playing god, and the power of nature - seems like there might be some related lessons here.

Stay safe, stay healthy, & take care of one another! We all have a part to play in how this unfolds.

Will the last person to leave, please turn out the lights? Wink?
