The people who said it was a "bad chest cold" were right.

This has been a brake-check on the West, and on Trump specifically.

While Hong Kong has been swallowed whole.

Please keep fighting the good fight, Mr. Schachtel.

There are a lot of bad actors on social media, whose comms history and connection to driving the panic in January, need to be sorted out and called out. I myself believed more than I should have believed, and am ashamed at my contributions to needless deaths in the US.

I will never forgive people like Eric Feigl-Ding and Scott Gottlieb, or Carl T. Bergstrom at UW who stomped all over Aaron Ginn at the same time the UW Covid Team was excited about HCQ, or even Yale's Nicholas Christakis musing about how the force needed to stop the spread of coronavirus in China (welding apartment doors shut) giving us actionable data on... the infectiousness? or the lethality? of coronavirus.

Have you seen this that shows the role of hundreds of thousands of CCP Twitter accounts in pushing the lockdown narrative and panic on social media? https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1270925788389486593.html?refreshed=1598261255
