A clear retelling of the US COVID19 story. What shines through for me is Trump's narcissism and trying to control the narrative. I hope the CDC's standing can recover. Their online submissions, on lots of medical subjects, have been an ongoing, trusted resource personally.

The hypothetical 'We', just like the hypothetical 'One'. "If one...". I would imagine your brain inserts depth information sourced from memory, just as my deaf brain constructs and fill;s in the missing parts of words so that they are intelligible.

Empathy would likely suffer, putting ones needs before others.

Yeah, don't give it the oxygen of exposure.

If you start with 22000 genes, and in each generation backwards, it halves until you are left with one gene shared, your identifiable genetic relationship with that line ends. in about 14-15 generations. This is how I understood it but could be wrong. Assuming a gene is some indivisible unit of heredity.

I think it goes, as mentioned here many times, that there are serious, systemic-societal issues there, which sets the US police forces up to where they are today.

This is the problem with routine arming of officers, they can become complacent/lazy and fall back on their weapons in all stop situations. I also think it alienates the public on a general level,, rendering them more inaccessible and less personable in routine situations.

Yes, the outcome of a lot of US police interventions seems predestined to come to a violent conclusion.

They can also bring in officers from outside a force to review the events.

Yes, in less dangerous situations. I specifically mentioned 'armed police'. If they are present and there is a risk to life, they will take out those people out if they do not quickly comply. That's policy, as far as I'm aware because they have to make split-second decisions. The protection of the general public is paramount.

It is a normal part of the sleep pattern for your body to be relaxed/paralysed whilst asleep. It is waking up before the muscle relaxants have dissipated that is the issue. It could be something mundane, like being too hot in bed or nightmares that causes a person to wakeup too soon.

In the UK, if you shoot at someone or have a knife in the presence of armed police and don't follow their instructions, you will be shot dead.... telling you to disarm iimmediately is as much 'de-escalation' as you are going to get. Those people there are asking too much, especially given the prevalence of firearms there.

Here's a few current confirmed cases trends I picked out from John Hopkins data site: https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 UK Columbia Germany China India US

He would have known who was who had he been sincere.

I got a "I made that up just to please people" vibe. Sincerity would have avoided that mistake.

I don't think you can expect a street bobby to wear two hats, where they are expected to be friendly and calm one minute then in possible kill-mode the next. The dynamics are too much. It needs to be separated, I think.

Do you think it would be better if there is an Armed Fast Response Unit that deals with situations with firearms in? I'm not saying US cops shouldn't be armed but that , by default, they don't deal with armed situations unless they have to. ARU's are generally in a constant state of readiness and training. They are picked for their attitude for such scenarios as well.

Thanks.

Right, ok. What causes that? Is that an effect of the virus nullifying it?

Is the short immunity due to pretty rapid frequency of mutation?

I don't think he's discussing in good faith.

The fact he had took the luxury of having at least one hand in his pocket whilst kneeling on him is strong evidence of George Floyd's compliance. He was torturing him.

Yeah, I don't think that's right either on review. I remembered it being a woman but saw that one first when I went to search again and assumed it to be correct. Her name was Matilda McCrear and she was born in 1858, brought over in a slave ship at two and died in 1940 at 82.
