-The Covid-19 Lab Leak Theory Is a Tale of Weaponized Uncertainty — it will be interesting to see what they find, thought I am dubious the story will change.
-We have bigger problems than COVID-19’s origins — and even more importantly, I agree with this piece. Why did the US fuck this up? That is the much bigger question? More than 500,000 Americans died. Pre-pandemic, the US was seen as the country best positioned to deal with a pandemic. Heck, it wrote THE book on how to deal with something like COVID. Why did the country and its key institutions utterly fail us? Based on the GOP response regarding a Jan 6th investigation I doubt there will be a COVID investigation … which can only mean that next time even more Magicians will likely die … and that means all Republicans will have blood on their hands.
-A rebounding economy won’t mean a return to the status quo — last year I wrote a piece about how I think people really need to think about change rather than wait for pre Covid to come back.
