“Much of what we think we know about nuclear is wrong. Instead of being the most dangerous energy source, it is one of the safest”

@notbritney Lmao idk I wasn't in that class. I think I know what you're talking about though. This image was made with an AI trained to detect people and other things
Here is the thing to understand about flattening the curve.
It only works if we take necessary measures before they seem necessary.
And if it works, people will think we over-reacted.
We have to be willing to look like we over-reacted.

Update. The Cleveland Clinic has developed a COVID 19 test that gives results in 8 hours as opposed to the 2-3 days it takes for the other tests.
They developed the test in NINE days, I repeat nine. Scientists worked 24/7 once the CDC gave them the okay on 3/2.
A disease specialist in Seattle had the ability (and instinct) to test for coronavirus as early as January.
Officials told her she wasn’t allowed to test.
She did it anyway and found a bunch of cases.
So what happened? They told her to stop.

EXCLUSIVE:
For weeks, thousands of flu samples sat in Seattle as researchers sought to test and flag them for coronavirus. The C.D.C. wouldn’t allow it.
When testing did happen, it was too late. The virus was upon us.

At some point, we have to talk about the fact that, in what is consistently touted as a thriving economy, the key concern w/closing schools b/c of COVID-19 is “children who rely on school food won’t get to eat.”
If the economy
Is so great, why aren’t the babies eating?
Italy has banned weddings and funerals for 16 million people. Japan has closed schools for a month. France and Iraq have banned public gatherings. The U.N. has canceled all physical meetings to address climate change. Americans are uncertain what to do about Coachella.
I see a lot of people being like “I would survive the Coronavirus. I’m taking my chances.”
The way I see it, yeah. I’d survive it. But I might carry it to someone who wouldn’t. And that, folks, is the problem.
