There are a hundred more important things to say, and I tried to say some of them in my essay for "Thinking About...", but: invading a country for oil is also just atavistic at this point. Even if it worked, which it wonât, it still wouldnât work.

The people that blew the calls on COVID - laid out below, with extensive citations - are the same people who are getting paid enormous amounts of our money to keep the public educated about how to prepare for H5N1. But they can't do that without admitting their mistakes - so they'll let people die.

In Radonovich et al 2019, subjects were only instructed to wear masks or respirators when within six feet of patients. This totally ignores small-aerosol transmission, which is a key part of the argument why respirators would work better.

And here are the money quotes. The usual gibberish from public health (Dr. Arruda was the province's Public Health Director) about how it's probably the fault of the workers. Funny how it's always that and not public health's incompetence. And then read that last line.

The military was brought it, and because unlike IPAC they are not complete idiots and have an understanding of how to protect against biological hazards, they wore the proper PPE (and the nurses were allowed to have N95s as well now) - and someone checked the ventilation.
