    I was speaking of this part of the article I linked:

    It’s the same MO as the China sickness story, and what the DM does. They try topics that draw fear or anger porn readers (in this case contagion), and then when they hit on something like how viral the China story went, they print everything they can on anything that draws similar fear, be it old, new, overhyped, whatever they can dig up. And find a justification to call it all “current news”. You will see a few more of these stories there until it burns out, then on to the next topic.

    My sister-in-law lives in Brentwood, between Santa Monica and Beverly Hills. Her daughter and family lives a mile away, closer to the Getty museum where priceless works of art are displayed. The museum
    Arson. A 48 year old indigent homeless man, Ramon Santos Rodriguez has been arrested for sparking several fires.

    Homeless Man Charged With Arson In Palisades Fire

    It's reported the fires are now 47% contained. My sister-in-law had to evacuate her home in Brentwood last night but it did not come near to her house or her daughter's home near the Getty museum. However the fire did burn land on the museum property.

    Understood. It's old news I took as new news.

    My sister-in-law's parents, a retired lawyer and nurse, still live in the house they bought in Malibu in the mid 1960s. Nicest people you could ever imagine. They are safe and staying with friends near Hollywood, but no word yet if the house is still standing.

    I can't remember any man-made satellite/probe ever traveling though space that fast.

    Well, you clearly work for them or the FSB, so why wouldn't you extol their virtues. It's YOUR JOB!

    Nah. Something else. The lube sitting next to it would be your first clue.

    Well, despite the myriad catastrophes facing it, the CCP does have their boys in the White House. So, yeah, I'm sure your comrades are feeling a little better these days. May delay the inevitable, but won't stop it. Probably shouldn't have euthanized all those girls during the ill-fated one-child era. Because, you know, you need girls to have babies. Instead you'll get revolution. . . and famine. . . and all that fun stuff China does every 100-200 years.

    They're not very careful with their gain-of-function research... it got out. :oops:
