Superspreaders, clusters and dead ends: Research reveals more about how coronavirus spreads
Research from Arizona and beyond suggests the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 can spread erratically, making some infected people “superspreaders” and others dead ends for transmission.

A Washington Post review of federal distribution of ventilators, ...

Chris EdwardsThat appears to be the case. TheLos Angeles Timescalls it“seizing,” but it amounts to the same thing as these are legal products that the government did not order. The White House and FEMA are swooping in to grab masks, thermometers, and other items in a secretive process with apparently little recourse.These actions are abusive from a civil liberties perspective, and such command ‐and‐control methods make no practical sense either. As I discusshere,here, andhere, central planning is the wrong way to go for disaster planning and response, as it will make the nation less safe a...
