"Political leaders need to understand the likely benefits and the potential consequences of disease mitigation measures, including the possible loss of critical civic services and the possible loss of confidence in government to manage the crisis." -- Until this time.....

"In brief, models can play a contributory role in thinking through possible mitigation measures, but they cannot be more than an ancillary aid in deciding policy." -- Until now, when all the so-called experts, knowing this, LIED.
"Political leaders need to understand the likely benefits and the potential consequences of disease mitigation measures, including the possible loss of critical civic services and the possible loss of confidence in government to manage the crisis." -- Until this time.....
"hospitals have often accelerated the spread of contagious disease because of the presence of highly contagious patients and their close proximity to the medical staff who care for them and to other patients who are ill and vulnerable to infection." - WE KNEW this would KILL.
"Second, hospitals must establish strategies for coping with what will presumably be a large and relatively sustained surge in demand for medical care. At present, hospitals have little capacity to meet such demands." - We DID NOTHING despite FOURTEEN YEARS warning.
"General respiratory hygiene, such as covering one’s mouth when coughing and using disposable paper tissues, is widely believed to be of some value in diminishing spread, even though there is no hard evidence that this is so." - We KNEW masks did not work; ZERO evidence.
"A World Health Organization (WHO) Writing Group, after reviewing the literature and considering contemporary international experience, concluded that “forced isolation and quarantine are ineffective and impractical" - STAY HOME orders are worthless and they know it.
"The aim of voluntary home quarantine is to keep possibly contagious, but still asymptomatic, people out of circulation. This sounds logical, but this measure raises significant practical and ethical issues." - They knew THAT won't work either -- and did it anyway.
"Travel restrictions, such as closing airports and screening travelers at borders, have historically been ineffective." - And we knew THAT doesn't work, but STATES, locals and the US *DID IT ANYWAY*. (You getting the pattern here yet?)
"But a policy calling for communitywide cancellation of public events seems inadvisable." - Closing restaurants, bars, concerts, etc -- all known INADVISABLE and having SERIOUS disruptive consequences. We did it anyway and still are.
"However, to close schools for longer periods is not only impracticable but carries the possibility of a serious adverse outcome." - We knew THAT was a bad idea too, but did it anyway.
(Getting the hint yet that this was all INTENTIONAL and every bit of it known worthless?)
"It has been recommended that individuals maintain a distance of 3 feet or more during a pandemic... such a recommendation would greatly complicate normal daily tasks like grocery shopping, banking, and the like." - Yes, we knew that wouldn't work either. And didn't care.
"But studies have shown that the ordinary surgical mask does little to prevent inhalation of small droplets bearing influenza virus. The pores in the mask become blocked by moisture from breathing, and the air stream simply diverts around the mask." - DUH. Known 14 years ago
"Thus, cancelling or postponing large meetings would not be likely to have any significant effect on the development of the epidemic. " -- Again, KNOWN WORTHLESS.
"Quarantine. As experience shows, there is no basis for recommending quarantine either of groups or individuals." -- WORTHLESS
"Screening passengers at borders or closing air or rail hubs. Experience has shown that these actions are not effective and could have serious adverse consequences; thus, they are not recommended." - WORTHLESS.
"An overriding principle. Experience has shown that communities faced with epidemics or other adverse events respond best and with the least anxiety when the normal social functioning of the community is least disrupted." - INTENTIONALLY IGNORED.
EVERY SINGLE THING RECOMMENDED was done in the REVERSE. Every one.
That is not an accident, it is malicious, it is outrageous, it is MANSLAUGHTER and just cause for EVERYONE to tell the government to fuck itself at ALL levels; fed, state and LOCAL

You can't magic away the vast distances involved. Clue: we fly in only 1/192th of our trade compared to the amount that arrives via sea
In 2016, the UK transported 484,000,000 tons of freight by sea, but just 2,511,000 tons by air (192x less than by sea). Therefore absurd to think of simply substituting air freight for sea freight (e.g. if we have to fly in food or medicines because of post-Brexit jams at ports)

But even if you invented a teleporter tomorrow, WTO terms are so bad, so stacked against us, that a no-deal Brexit will be a total economic disaster
Here's the truth about Brexit, the "punishment" some people claim the EU wants to inflict on us, the full horrific consequences of no deal, and the dangers lurking behind any deal we reach. Buckle in, it's pretty long. Better to be thorough than to leave anything out. 1/47

And while the Brexiteers fantasise, real jobs are being lost, investments are drying up, companies are moving assets to the EU27 or redomiciling. All already happened and happening right now, not in some mythical
Ok, it's high time to look at the REAL effects of Brexit. As the Tories implode & Labour sits on its hands, companies are executing contingency plans, shifting jobs & assets, slashing investments, or redomiciling (accounting exercise). Happening NOW, not in a fantasy future. 1/95

Of course, there are many, many myths that Brexiteers perpetuate that are total fiction. You've seen a couple of them already. The thread below busts a whole lot

Right-wing media have essentially convinced themselves that Trump never said "very fine people." They're lying. https://t.co/5960NPMYLJ

I was wondering why that tweet had so many stupid replies. And now I see

Seriously, this was “the night before.” If you’re at the march where they’re changing “Jews will not replace us” and “Blood and soil,” you’re not a “very fine person.” Full stop.
Trump defense talking about how the then-president was praising the peaceful protests at Charlottesville that occurred "the night before" the violence on Saturday. That was the night where the torch-bearing crowd chanted "Jews will not replace us." pic.twitter.com/HCKS6Q9LBY

There are 3 important moments in that transcript.
1.) When someone asked Trump about a statement *he had already made* about there being blame on “both sides,” he said the “fine people” line.
2. Trump does clarify! “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists — because they should be condemned totally “
Okay!
Then adds that there were “many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists.”
