Understand also that domestic economic depression can have international ramifications.

May I submit that these are not normal times? May I recommend researching the global spread patterns of ebola, Coronavirus, and influenza virus? Each has a different R0 (another epidemiological concept which needs to be understood). See how our intervention strategies has affected each spread...

To be clear, actuarial figures and journalistic license are two different things. Journalism today is not nearly as objective as we were taught. One merely needs to compare and contrast CNN from Fox News. They both use the same figures but take different points of view — glass half...

I’m reading the same articles as you are reading and noting the same figures you are seeing, just not the journalistic spin. Without putting as much effort into my defense, I am only noting that Japan, Korea, and Taiwan collectively have a similar population to the US, but are recording 2...

Distance from Wuhan to Tokyo is 1500 miles. There are lots of Chinese visitors to the Pacific rim countries. As of last week Japan recorded 88 deaths. Korea and Taiwan are also in the same range. Lockdown in Japan only starts this week (sort of). I’m merely saying things don’t add up.

I can’t help but to chime in. No articles do I have to reference support. But regarding the American political response, the Democrats and Replivlicans are both locked into an election year when this broke... Questions that need pondering: The virus started in Wuhan, China. Today Japan...

Here is a well-written piece by investigative journalist, Nafeez Ahmed. (He also has a nice series on the history of Google). https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/8xwygg/the-collapse-of-civilization-may-have-already-begun I always had the impression that the Arab Spring in Egypt 2011 and the...

I can’t imagine an NFL team paying first round money for someone not to play. I would imagine the contract would be loaded in favor of the team under such a scenario.

Just to weigh in I tend to believe that defeating Iran is merely academic. The real problem in our activities in the Middle East (Iraq, Libya, and Syria) have to do with the ensuing power vacuum what takes the regime’s place if there is no restoration process. UN will also be extremely...

As much as I enjoy the chaos in Washington due largely to the presence of the Trump Administration, I fear he began in International Relations knowing very little of the players and the situations. Since being provocative towards Moscow, beginning a trade war with China, and making the water...

... all the while China, Russia, and Iran get closer and closer...

On a similar note, Terrell Owens suffered a tib-fib fracture in December 2004, 6 weeks prior to Super Bowl 39. He had a great game despite a losing effort.
