  1. His tweet is called a false equivalency. The flu has already spread throughout the US population. The corona is just starting -- with a four day doubling rate. You figure it out. It is ten times more fatal than the flu. Remember the chess player who took a grain of rice on the first square of a chess board and double it every square, and by the end of the sixty four squares you own the world. This will not be over in a few weeks, it will go on for months and almost everyone will get it. Hand washing etc is bullshit. You breath the air that someone who is infected has breathed out and you have it. And they may not even symptomatic. Males in good health in their forties seem to have a high fatality rate. This is gonna suck big time and go on until everyone is exhausted, plus we get all our drugs from China and India and have no stockpiles of necessary medical devices. Fucked.

  2. Wondering how is it possible that many superbly successful and otherwise normal and intelligent people can still be Trump supporters (or perhaps I should say believers) after his tens of thousands of lies and idiotic actions? Well this few minutes of an old Radiolab show about lying and self-deception may explain a lot. And I do mean A LOT. The blinding flash of the obvious starts at 46:57 -- though the entire show on deception is certainly entertaining, this little segment on self-deception is profoundly explanatory about Trump and politicians in general. Slide the slider forward to 46:57 and understand the mystery of the cult of Trump. https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/episodes/91612-deception
