"As the virus accelerates it evolution, the humans capitulate. For two and a half years, the virus has been outrunning our response, getting progressively more and more transmissible, reaching a level of infectiousness that few pathogens have ever attained."
"Instead of taking a stance of getting ahead of the virus, and out-smarting it, people have succumbed."
Some may think humans are an infinite resource, i.e. plenty more where they come from.
However, it takes many years/cost for each new life to reach maturity/productivity.
"As we watch the virus strikingly improve its ability to find new or repeat hosts, you would think it would be considered an urgent call for action."
"Britain is doing the right things by Ukraine, but we should never forget that it is not our people who are fighting and dying."
"In the eyes of Conservatives, there is still a pragmatic case for retaining Johnson. Yet if the future of Britain and public faith in our politicians are to count for anything, the alternative principled case for removing him must be recognised as imperative."
"In the harsh economic times ahead, Johnson’s inability even to simulate compassion will intensify the government’s unpopularity."
"Britain is a nation that’s changed night and day since 2016. It was a quiet, prosperous nation that became a haven for Right-wing populists, a breeding ground for racism, and a hub for misinformation. None of which is a coincidence."
"It’s the byproduct of nationalism, racism, and demagoguery. And if it sounds similar to post-2016 America, that’s because it is. Both countries began their ascent down the black hole of authoritarianism at the same time for a reason."
"Actually, two reasons: Boris Johnson and Donald Trump."
"Two men who are similar in more ways than they are different. Two men who redefined Western politics for the worse."
@MarinaHyde Mebbe, there are those that invested so much personally in the fantastical notion of 'Taking Back Control' that on delivery of Brexit and the realisation that they have even less control and have literally, physically and mentally LOST IT! 🤪
@PeterStefanovi2@cachatburn1 UNLESS UK Government FACE FACTS and acknowledge the REALITY of the damage done to UK Economy by #Tories' pet projects: Austerity and Brexit to name but two, UK Government don't have a cat in hell's chance of addressing the FALLOUT and ensuing INFLATION and POVERTY.
@PeterStefanovi2@cachatburn1 If only UK population could overlook yet another 'photo-op' from an inconsequential apology for a man, and perceive instead an individual that places no higher regard for anyone or anything else but, his own survival & self-entitlement!
@PeterStefanovi2@cachatburn1 History teaches us the wisdom of seeking the lessons from events that have come before those we face today so that we might develop and build upon the thinking of those that precede us - a crisis is not the time to reinvent the wheel!
