Paul is a drama queen and a terrible metric for what's prosecutable.

How many people are coming in contact with infected rat urine and feces to where this is a legitimate concern?


For most folks in the US, not that often; for the poor, especially south of the border, the risk can be significant.

It got Gene Hackman's wife, though, if memory serves.

All the more reason to keep them on their side of the wall.

Yea. We had a few nut cases really show themselves in the COVID thread. They locked themselves in bunkers and thought everyone should do the same or half our population would be wiped out.

The US had an estimated 45,000 deaths attributed to influenza last flu season. That’s just a few months of 1 year.



Anybody who thinks that COVID didn't kill a bunch of people are just as nutty and froot loopy as the people who wore masks in cars.

If anything COVID proved the NIH, CDC and WHO don’t have a fricking clue of what to do if there’s an outbreak. Which is kind of their whole purpose for existing.

It’s one of the latest and biggest examples of governmental agencies/orgs failing in performing their core function. Another is the SEC allowing all of the MBS bullshite that collapsed the markets in 2008.
