@GoodCheerPixie You've been doing a great job, take the rest of the day...
@HelenBranswell Watching these decisions reminds me of the 2009 pandemic...I was visited by a coalition from one of the gated communities. Can we just close the gate? My response; you still need potable water, still need refuse disposal, still need medical response...why don't you help the rest of the community to prepare? To their credit...I was talking about influenza, planning for the impacts and so on. In my opinion, diverting flights and treating patients outside the US is a fail medically, as a public policy, and as a message to the public at large.
@crooksandliars It would hurt him worse if all of the "monuments" were renamed for heroes of equitability....Harvey Milk, Shirlie Chisolm, etc.
@Futurism @google-Futurism Maybe he should start with ethics in business, public policy, and community...
I saw the NOAA is conducting a survey regarding NOAA Weather Radio to collect information that will be used in their modernization efforts of same.
Since Canada has shut their "Weatheradio" system down, I am glad that the NOAA is seeking to update this system rather than dismantle it.
It only took me a minute to reply. The survey closes in two days, don't put it off.

@bich Health in African countries is difficult, and, a Public Good. Not only for that continent, but this one. USAID was a fundamental part of supporting these efforts and the ACDC...We should reinstate that funding at the earliest opportunity.
