The Texas A & M University System board of regents has approved funding that will be used to create the US Army Futures Command ’ s ( AFC ) latest hypersonic weapons test center .
Regents on Thursday voted in favor of spending some $ 79 million in university funds on the US Army and AFC ’ s Bush Combat Development Center , which was unveiled last year during a naming ceremony dedicated to former US President George H.W .

The “ investment ” as the school termed the move , was originally slated to run $ 130 million for the testing center alone , according to the university ’ s October 2019 news release .
In addition to a kilometer-long tube that will be used to actually field potential hypersonic weapons on the RELLIS Campus , the university ’ s decision has approved “ laboratories , runways , underground and open-air ranges and a resilient network of sensors and systems for experimentation , data @ @ @ @ @ @ @ according to the May 15 news release obtained by Defense News .
“ Texas A & M and the RELLIS campus will become a nexus for collaboration and high-tech testing in service to our nation ’ s security , ” Elaine Mendoza , chair of the A & M System board , said in a statement .
“ Today ’ s vote will bring hundreds of millions worth of private investment to Central Texas as these facilities come to life .

The Texas A&M University System board of regents has approved funding that will be used to create the US Army Futures Command’s (AFC) latest hypersonic weapons test center.
Regents on Thursday voted in favor of spending some $79 million in university funds on the US Army and AFC’s Bush Combat Development Center, which was unveiled last year during a naming ceremony dedicated to former US President George H.W. Bush.
Prior to the announcement of funding from the school, approximately $50 million was approved by the state of Texas, and around $65 million was contributed by the Army. The “investment” as the school termed the move, was originally slated to run $130 million for the testing center alone, according to the university’s October 2019 news release.
In addition to a kilometer-long tube that will be used to actually field potential hypersonic weapons on the RELLIS Campus, the university’s decision has approved “laboratories, runways, underground and open-air ranges and a resilient network of sensors and systems for experimentation, data collection, analysis and storage,” according to the May 15 news release obtained by Defense News.
“Texas A&M and the RELLIS campus will become a nexus for collaboration and high-tech testing in service to our nation’s security,” Elaine Mendoza, chair of the A&M System board, said in a statement.
“Today’s vote will bring hundreds of millions worth of private investment to Central Texas as these facilities come to life. Simply put, this is where American defense contractors will want to set up shop if they want to work with the US Army Futures Command.”
Defense News noted that since the establishment of the AFC in July 2018, its commander, General John M. Murray, has been seeking outside assistance from the local tech and educational community of Austin, Texas.
The creation of the new program on the campus grounds comes shortly after the Pentagon announced the successful test of its Common-Hypersonic Glide Body. The US Department of Defense noted at the time that the launch was a “major milestone” in the US’ continued effort to obtain hypersonic weapons.
It’s worth noting the US military did not disclose the exact velocity the missile reached at the time, only stating that it traveled at “hypersonic speed.”
President Trump said that he was mobilizing the military to inoculate most of the population against COVID-19 with a vaccination that has not even gone into production yet.

Biden campaign headquarters and the DNC, meanwhile, are under siege.
To their left, the Sandernistas and pro-socialist media pundits are again restless.
The folks at The Intercept, for example, are combing through terabytes of CNN footage at a record pace thanks to bootlegged copies of the same privacy-eviscerating facial-recognition algorithms they insist should be outlawed.

What’s the difference between Joe Biden and Brett Kavanaugh and between Tara Reade and Christine Blasey Ford—other than the contemporary corroboration of Ms. Reade’s accusation and Mr. Biden’s well-documented history of creeping out women?
Answer: politics; like so many other causes, the DNC opportunistically uses #MeToo to its benefit and quickly discards abused women who pose a threat.

Most likely, the far-left New York Times intentionally withheld Ms. Reade’s #MeToo story until after the pool of Democratic primary candidates had narrowed and the party’s establishment figureheads had burned their political capital endorsing Mr. Biden.

Indeed, the Democratic aristocrats make their disdain for Mr. Sanders no secret.
They’d prefer any other Democratic candidate over him.
Their move against his campaign à la 2016 was conspicuously telegraphed.
The Times, however, saved its powder and published Ms. Reade’s story at the best time for Bernie.
You see, America’s “paper of record” has a love affair with communism dating back at least to Stalin.
Now, the DNC’s only remaining hope for November is to deliver the coup de grâce to the Biden campaign and make way for Mr. Sanders, whom the far left preferred the entire time.
If the DNC brass instead introduces another candidate, they’d risk a third-party spoiler.
In 2000, for example, Ralph Nader claimed 97,488 votes in Florida and Al Gore lost the state to George W. Bush by only 537 votes—thereby losing the entire election.
Moreover, it’s clear from the past 3 presidential races that Democratic candidates rise or fall with their party’s enthusiasm.
In Ohio in 2012, for example, Barack Obama easily bested former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney 2,827,709 to 2,661,437.
In 2016, though, a far-less-enthusiastic Democratic crowd cast only 2,394,164 votes for Hillary Clinton—far fewer than Mr. Romney received 4 years earlier—and Donald Trump easily carried the state with a comparatively modest increase in GOP voters.
The GOP also maintained majorities in both houses that year.
Now, thanks to the Times, Mr. Sanders is the only candidate that can avoid a repeat on the Democratic side in 2020. Simply put, Mr. Biden’s candidacy could doom his counterparts down the ballot. His promise to choose a female running mate is especially problematic.
And maybe Mr. Biden deserves to lose for reasons in addition to the credible rape allegation against him. Whether one believes Ms. Reade or not, Mr. Biden should’ve known better after his decades in politics than to go on far-left MSNBC and drink the Morning Joe.
Call it MonteSanders revenge. And if that’s the caliber of crisis decision-making Mr. Biden would bring to the White House, the nation would be imperiled.
(I jest about The Intercept, of course.)

newswars--2020-05-15--Neurosurgeon Says Face Masks Pose Serious Risk to Healthy People

Every Karen on Facebook is shaming her neighbors for not wearing a face mask .
We are being told by governors that if we don ’ t wear them we are selfish , horrible human beings with no souls who want Grandma to die a horrible death .
Police are tackling people who don ’ t wear them properly in the subway .
Grocery stores are throwing maskless people out and denying them service .
But now , there ’ s another doctor weighing in—besides Dr. Fauci , bonafide sex god and ruler of us all , who also said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of no use to the healthy .
Dr. Russell Blaylock , a neurosurgeon , has written an editorial saying that “ masks pose serious risks to the healthy.
” First , Blaylock says , there is no scientific evidence that it is effective against COVID-19 transmission .
Pro-science people should care about this .
As for the scientific support for the use of face mask , a recent careful examination of the literature , in which 17 of the best studies were analyzed , concluded that , “ None of the studies established @ @ @ @ @ @ @ protection against influenza infection.
” Keep in mind , no studies have been done to demonstrate that either a cloth mask or the N95 mask has any effect on transmission of the COVID-19 virus .
Any recommendations , therefore , have to be based on studies of influenza virus transmission .
And , as you have seen , there is no conclusive evidence of their efficiency in controlling flu virus transmission .
It is also instructive to know that until recently , the CDC did not recommend wearing a face mask or covering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was known to be infected , that is , until recently .
Non-infected people need not wear a mask .
When a person has TB we have them wear a mask , not the entire community of non-infected .
The recommendations by the CDC and the WHO are not based on any studies of this virus and have never been used to contain any other virus pandemic or epidemic in history .
Beyond the lack of scientific data to support wearing a mask as a deterrent to a virus , Blaylock says the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will happen to the wearer .
Now that we have established that there is no scientific evidence necessitating the wearing of a face mask for prevention , are there dangers to wearing a face mask , especially for long periods ?
Several studies have indeed found significant problems with wearing such a mask .
This can vary from headaches , to increased airway resistance , carbon dioxide accumulation , to hypoxia , all the way to serious life-threatening complications .
There are studies to back that claim up .
In one such study @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 47 males and 165 females ) asking about presence of headaches with N95 mask use , duration of the headaches , type of headaches and if the person had preexisting headaches .
They found that about a third of the workers developed headaches with use of the mask , most had preexisting headaches that were worsened by the mask wearing , and 60 % required pain medications for relief .
As to the cause of the headaches , while straps and pressure from the mask could be causative , the bulk of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the cause .
That is , a reduction in blood oxygenation ( hypoxia ) or an elevation in blood C02 ( hypercapnia ) .
It is known that the N95 mask , if worn for hours , can reduce blood oxygenation as much as 20 % , which can lead to a loss of consciousness , as happened to the hapless fellow driving around alone in his car wearing an N95 mask , causing him to pass out , and to crash his car and sustain injuries .
I am sure that we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any person with poor lung function passing out , hitting their head .
This , of course , can lead to death .
A more recent study involving 159 healthcare workers aged 21 to 35 years of age found that 81 % developed headaches from wearing a face mask .
Some had pre-existing headaches that were precipitated by the masks .
All felt like the headaches affected their work performance .
Blaylock says studies have also shown that face masks impair oxygen intake dramatically , potentially leading to serious problems .
The importance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in oxygen levels ( hypoxia ) is associated with an impairment in immunity .
Studies have shown that hypoxia can inhibit the type of main immune cells used to fight viral infections called the CD4+ T-lymphocyte .
This occurs because the hypoxia increases the level of a compound called hypoxia inducible factor-1 ( HIF-1 ) , which inhibits T-lymphocytes and stimulates a powerful immune inhibitor cell called the Tregs .
.
This sets the stage for contracting any infection , including COVID-19 and making the consequences of that infection much graver .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ put you at an increased risk of infections and if so , having a much worse outcome .
In other words , if you wear a face mask and contract some sickness , you will not be able to fight it off as effectively as if you had normal blood oxygen levels .
The mask could make you sicker .
It could also create a “ deadly cytokine storm ” in some .
There is another danger to wearing these masks on a daily basis , especially if worn for several hours .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ respiratory virus , they will expel some of the virus with each breath .
If they are wearing a mask , especially an N95 mask or other tightly fitting mask , they will be constantly rebreathing the viruses , raising the concentration of the virus in the lungs and the nasal passages .
We know that people who have the worst reactions to the coronavirus have the highest concentrations of the virus early on .
And this leads to the deadly cytokine storm in a selected number .
How about cancer , heart @ @ @ @ @ @ @ face masks can make all of those conditions worse .
People with cancer , especially if the cancer has spread , will be at a further risk from prolonged hypoxia as the cancer grows best in a microenvironment that is low in oxygen .
Low oxygen also promotes inflammation which can promote the growth , invasion and spread of cancers .
Repeated episodes of hypoxia has been proposed as a significant factor in atherosclerosis and hence increases all cardiovascular ( heart attacks ) and cerebrovascular ( strokes ) diseases .
If that ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you like COVID-19 in your brain ?
It gets even more frightening .
Newer evidence suggests that in some cases the virus can enter the brain .
In most instances it enters the brain by way of the olfactory nerves ( smell nerves ) , which connect directly with the area of the brain dealing with recent memory and memory consolidation .
By wearing a mask , the exhaled viruses will not be able to escape and will concentrate in the nasal passages , enter the olfactory nerves and travel into the brain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ listen to dire predictions from Dr. Fauci and we don ’ t consult other experts in the field of medicine ?
Is Anthony Fauci the only qualified person to talk about this virus ?
Furthermore , if he is , he agrees with Dr. Blaylock that only sick people should wear them and he said so on 60 Minutes .
So why aren ’ t we listening to him ?

Every Karen on Facebook is shaming her neighbors for not wearing a face mask.
We are being told by governors that if we don’t wear them we are selfish, horrible human beings with no souls who want Grandma to die a horrible death. Police are tackling people who don’t wear them properly in the subway. Grocery stores are throwing maskless people out and denying them service. But now, there’s another doctor weighing in—besides Dr. Fauci, bonafide sex god and ruler of us all, who also said face masks are largely security theater and of no use to the healthy. Dr. Russell Blaylock, a neurosurgeon, has written an editorial saying that “masks pose serious risks to the healthy.”
First, Blaylock says, there is no scientific evidence that it is effective against COVID-19 transmission. Pro-science people should care about this.
As for the scientific support for the use of face mask, a recent careful examination of the literature, in which 17 of the best studies were analyzed, concluded that, “ None of the studies established a conclusive relationship between mask/respirator use and protection against influenza infection.” Keep in mind, no studies have been done to demonstrate that either a cloth mask or the N95 mask has any effect on transmission of the COVID-19 virus. Any recommendations, therefore, have to be based on studies of influenza virus transmission. And, as you have seen, there is no conclusive evidence of their efficiency in controlling flu virus transmission.
It is also instructive to know that until recently, the CDC did not recommend wearing a face mask or covering of any kind, unless a person was known to be infected, that is, until recently. Non-infected people need not wear a mask. When a person has TB we have them wear a mask, not the entire community of non-infected. The recommendations by the CDC and the WHO are not based on any studies of this virus and have never been used to contain any other virus pandemic or epidemic in history.
Beyond the lack of scientific data to support wearing a mask as a deterrent to a virus, Blaylock says the more pressing concern is what can and will happen to the wearer.
Now that we have established that there is no scientific evidence necessitating the wearing of a face mask for prevention, are there dangers to wearing a face mask, especially for long periods? Several studies have indeed found significant problems with wearing such a mask. This can vary from headaches, to increased airway resistance, carbon dioxide accumulation, to hypoxia, all the way to serious life-threatening complications.
There are studies to back that claim up.
In one such study, researchers surveyed 212 healthcare workers (47 males and 165 females) asking about presence of headaches with N95 mask use, duration of the headaches, type of headaches and if the person had preexisting headaches.
They found that about a third of the workers developed headaches with use of the mask, most had preexisting headaches that were worsened by the mask wearing, and 60% required pain medications for relief. As to the cause of the headaches, while straps and pressure from the mask could be causative, the bulk of the evidence points toward hypoxia and/or hypercapnia as the cause. That is, a reduction in blood oxygenation (hypoxia) or an elevation in blood C02 (hypercapnia). It is known that the N95 mask, if worn for hours, can reduce blood oxygenation as much as 20%, which can lead to a loss of consciousness, as happened to the hapless fellow driving around alone in his car wearing an N95 mask, causing him to pass out, and to crash his car and sustain injuries. I am sure that we have several cases of elderly individuals or any person with poor lung function passing out, hitting their head. This, of course, can lead to death.
A more recent study involving 159 healthcare workers aged 21 to 35 years of age found that 81% developed headaches from wearing a face mask. Some had pre-existing headaches that were precipitated by the masks. All felt like the headaches affected their work performance.
Blaylock says studies have also shown that face masks impair oxygen intake dramatically, potentially leading to serious problems.
The importance of these findings is that a drop in oxygen levels (hypoxia) is associated with an impairment in immunity. Studies have shown that hypoxia can inhibit the type of main immune cells used to fight viral infections called the CD4+ T-lymphocyte. This occurs because the hypoxia increases the level of a compound called hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), which inhibits T-lymphocytes and stimulates a powerful immune inhibitor cell called the Tregs. . This sets the stage for contracting any infection, including COVID-19 and making the consequences of that infection much graver. In essence, your mask may very well put you at an increased risk of infections and if so, having a much worse outcome.
In other words, if you wear a face mask and contract some sickness, you will not be able to fight it off as effectively as if you had normal blood oxygen levels. The mask could make you sicker. It could also create a “deadly cytokine storm” in some.
There is another danger to wearing these masks on a daily basis, especially if worn for several hours. When a person is infected with a respiratory virus, they will expel some of the virus with each breath. If they are wearing a mask, especially an N95 mask or other tightly fitting mask, they will be constantly rebreathing the viruses, raising the concentration of the virus in the lungs and the nasal passages.

How about cancer, heart attacks, and strokes? Blaylock says face masks can make all of those conditions worse.
People with cancer, especially if the cancer has spread, will be at a further risk from prolonged hypoxia as the cancer grows best in a microenvironment that is low in oxygen. Low oxygen also promotes inflammation which can promote the growth, invasion and spread of cancers. Repeated episodes of hypoxia has been proposed as a significant factor in atherosclerosis and hence increases all cardiovascular (heart attacks) and cerebrovascular (strokes) diseases.
If that’s not bad enough, how would you like COVID-19 in your brain?
It gets even more frightening. Newer evidence suggests that in some cases the virus can enter the brain. In most instances it enters the brain by way of the olfactory nerves (smell nerves), which connect directly with the area of the brain dealing with recent memory and memory consolidation. By wearing a mask, the exhaled viruses will not be able to escape and will concentrate in the nasal passages, enter the olfactory nerves and travel into the brain.
Why is it that we only listen to dire predictions from Dr. Fauci and we don’t consult other experts in the field of medicine? Is Anthony Fauci the only qualified person to talk about this virus? Furthermore, if he is, he agrees with Dr. Blaylock that only sick people should wear them and he said so on 60 Minutes. So why aren’t we listening to him?

newswars--2020-05-15--US Oil Rig Count Crashes To 11-Year Lows: “There’s A Double Risk On The Horizon”

Drilling rigs targeting crude oil in the U.S. fell by 34 to 258 , the lowest since July 2009… and production is starting to collapse… Indeed , as OilPrice.com ’ s Hely Zaremba notes , US Shale needs to slow down to survive… It has been a bleak couple of months for oil markets .

Well that escalated quickly…
Drilling rigs targeting crude oil in the U.S. fell by 34 to 258, the lowest since July 2009… and production is starting to collapse…
Indeed, as OilPrice.com’s Hely Zaremba notes, US Shale needs to slow down to survive…
Rigs targeting oil in the:
Permian: -23 to 175
Eagle Ford: -3 to 23
DJ Niobrara: unchanged at 7
Williston: -4 to 16
Cana Woodford: unchanged at 4
Others: -2 to 29
It has been a bleak couple of months for oil markets. Although markets recovered after going negative for the first time in history earlier this month, they didn’t recover to nearly their pre-corona levels, and all of the factors that pushed the West Texas Intermediate crude benchmark to nearly $40 below zero per barrel still persist. Thanks to a pandemic-fuelled oil price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia, the leading OPEC+ members, there continues to be a massive global oil glut and a worsening storage deficit. Things have been looking up, however. The output cuts have made a dent in the global oversupply and demand is beginning to recover a bit after taking a huge hit from industrial shutdown due to the pandemic.
On Monday Saudi Arabia announced that it will impose even more production cuts, and markets rose in response.
“Saudi Aramco, the state-controlled oil company, will produce 7.5 million barrels a day in June, down from more than 12 million in April,” reported Barron’s. Although Saudi Arabia has been overtaken by the United States as the biggest oil producer in the world thanks to the latter nation’s “shale revolution,” Saudi Aramco’s decisions are still hugely influential on the global stage.
Their production cuts therefore bode extremely well for the international oil markets.
But it’s not all sunshine and roses.
“There’s a double risk on the horizon,” writes Julian Lee in an opinion piece for Bloomberg.
“Just as lifting lockdowns too soon could bring a second spike in virus infections and deaths, loosening the hard-fought restraint in oil production too soon risks a second oil-price collapse.”
The United States will have to walk a very fine line if they want to have any chance at reviving the shale industry that is currently drowning in a wave of bankruptcies and fired and furloughed employees.
As restrictions are being eased in many countries around the world, oil demand is beginning to pick up, but “it is still far from the year-on-year growth we experienced before the novel coronavirus struck, or from any kind of meaningful start at drawing down ballooning stockpiles. But it might just be an initial turning of a corner — as long as there’s no need to stop the global economy again to keep the Covid-19 outbreak under control,” opines Bloomberg’s Lee. The opinion column looks to the way that China, which is ahead of the rest of the world in its pandemic curve, for how they have navigated the delicate balance between opening up the economy and preventing a COVID-19 resurgence.
The situation in China can teach us a lot about what to expect for fuel demand in the coming months.
“Congestion on roads in major cities has soared during peak commuting hours, but it remains depressed outside those times, with traffic levels still well below normal during the weekend and on holidays,” writes Lee.
“Meanwhile, people are choosing to drive rather than take public transport, boosting gasoline demand, a trend that’s likely to continue for a considerable time in big cities around the world. In Beijing, for example, subway passenger numbers are still more than 50% below pre-virus levels, according to analysis by Bloomberg NEF.”
It will be tempting, in the United States, to see a light at the end of the tunnel and open the shale fields back up in an effort to revitalize the economy, but this would be premature and short-sighted. The positive effects of reductions in oil production are just now starting to kick in and need to be prolonged.
“But we are still a long way from seeing much relief for crude producers and they need to continue exercising restraint,” says Lee. “The real risk may be that when all the financial pain of output cuts — and the human cost of job losses — starts to pay off with higher oil prices, producers take it as a signal to restart the pumps, as if the whole oversupply problem got solved overnight. The output restraint has to last long enough not only for supply and demand to be brought back into line, but for stockpiles to be brought back down again.”
What’s more, the United States is not Saudi Arabia. Without the authoritarian power that many petro-nations have, the decentralized, privatized leadership in the U.S. the oil industry means that the country can’t stop and start pumping on a dime.
This means that the U.S. has to be extra cautious about making any serious changes to current oil production patterns because the ship can be slow and difficult to right.


newswars--2020-05-15--25% Of US Restaurants Will Never Reopen: Opentable

newswars--2020-05-15--Black holes and neutron stars merge unseen in dense star clusters

Mergers between black holes and neutron stars in dense star clusters are quite unlike those that form in isolated regions where stars are few .
Their associated features could be crucial to the study of gravitational waves and their source .
Dr. Manuel Arca Sedda of the Institute for Astronomical Computing at Heidelberg University came to this conclusion in a study that used computer simulations .

The findings were published in the journal Communications Physics .
Stars much more massive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a neutron star or black hole .
Neutron stars emit regular pulses of radiation that allow their detection .
In August 2017 , for example , when the first double neutron star merger was observed , scientists all around the globe detected light from the explosion with their telescopes .
Black holes , on the other hand , usually remain hidden because their gravitational attraction is so strong that even light can not escape , making them invisible to electromagnetic detectors .
If two black holes merge , the event may be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in space-time in the form of so-called gravitational waves .
Certain detectors , like the “ Laser Interferometer Gravitational Waves Observatory ” ( LIGO ) in the USA , are able to detect these waves .

Black holes, on the other hand, usually remain hidden because their gravitational attraction is so strong that even light cannot escape, making them invisible to electromagnetic detectors.

Certain detectors, like the “Laser Interferometer Gravitational Waves Observatory” (LIGO) in the USA, are able to detect these waves. The first successful direct observation was made in 2015. The signal was generated by the fusion of two black holes. But this event may not be the only source of gravitational waves, which could also come from the merger of two neutron stars or a black hole with a neutron star. Discovering the differences is one of the major challenges in observing these events, according to Dr. Arca Sedda.

newswars--2020-05-15--In Times of Crisis, We Need Freedom More Than Ever

In the past few weeks , all around the world , governments have held their own citizens hostage in the name of “ protecting the people.
” What they have failed to understand is that , every restriction they put in place comes at a cost .
By forcing the lockdown on its citizens , the government has taken away the ability for private individuals to assess that cost for themselves .
The wounds that coronavirus has inflicted on society will only be deepened by the unheralded amount of government intervention .
Governments have given the people one more foe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the coronavirus .
Those who argue that the measures taken are necessary to prevent unnecessary death are unable to see that these same measures will no doubt cost a great many their lives and livelihoods in the future .
Too often it seems that only one side of the equation is taken under consideration during this crisis .
The UN recently released a report stating that due to the economic downturn caused by the lockdown , hundreds of thousands of children could die just this year .
They also estimate that 42–66 million @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the coming years .
Although these figures are estimates , it does raise a question for authorities : How much is too much ?
The government does not have a good track record of providing an answer to this question .
In even attempting to answer it , they ’ ve already set themselves up to fail .
We have seen time and time again throughout history that central planning does not work .
Limits such as thirty people to a funeral and ten at weddings are examples of arbitrary restrictions that come @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of bureaucrats trying to centrally plan an optimal solution .
A government attempting to organise society in this way , is no different from the then Soviet Union ’ s command economy trying to figure out how many potatoes to produce for the year .
Both scenarios have reverberating consequences , and the ramifications of a suboptimal reaction to this virus could haunt us for generations to come .
The only solution is to allow individuals to freely decide their own actions based on their own risk preferences .
Although the coronavirus is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ different from any other scenario in which an individual must act .
The individual must decide based on their own calculation of their cost versus benefit .
Only each individual can know for themselves what decision is optimal for their risk preference and personal situation , not the government .
The concern that the medical system ’ s capacity and its ability to handle the overload of patients has been raised to the point that “ Flatten the curve ” has become chic .
The optimal societal decision may well be to limit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is flattened .
However , using that as a reason to impose restrictions is unjustified .
Looking back through history , government ’ s handling of these so-called externalities has been dismal at best , the reason being that these bureaucrats whom we are trusting to make these calculations to “ optimise ” social benefit are in fact just humans like us .
They are subject to bias , influence , and human error .
Nevermind the fact that in situations like these , the government ’ s interests are rarely aligned with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ last longer than their terms in office .
When the time has come to pay back the debts of lockdown , the bureaucrats who have kept us locked inside our homes will long be gone .
Their interests rely on them being able to fool you into thinking that they are keeping you safe .
This will involve their use of Orwellian language on an emotionally charged country in the spirit of “ never letting a good crisis go to waste.
” They will claim how many lives they ’ ve saved in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any long-term harm done by the lockdown .
You will not hear any leaders on television speak about the lockdown ’ s economic cost , because it is not politically favourable to “ put a price on life.
” Yet individuals do so every day , in all aspects of their lives .
An individual understands the risk that they put themselves in while driving on the road , yet persist in driving , because the risk-reward tradeoff is worth it to them .
It is this freedom of choice that must be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The coronavirus will undoubtedly have negative effects on the welfare of people , and so taking away this freedom of choice further paralyses an already crippled society .
In a recent article posted at The Lancet , Swedish infectious disease clinician Johan Gieseck writes that lockdowns don ’ t reduce overall total deaths and claims that when it ’ s all over , nonlockdown jurisdictions will likely have similar death rates to lockdown areas .
He believes that it is inevitable that the entire population will be exposed to the coronavirus at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only delay the severe cases for a while .
Whether this is true is to be seen , but it shows that blindly sacrificing one ’ s liberties in the name of safety would be naïve .
If it is true that governments have just delayed the inevitable while summoning forth a tsunami of economic hardship , will the government stand up and take responsibility ?
Unlikely .
The coronavirus , while being the initial cause of the pain , will be used as a scapegoat for the ensuing illness caused by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flatten the curve ” or “ lockdown until vaccine ” are justified based on the advice of health experts , who are themselves inconsistent .
The true optimal strategy will be one borne out by the actions of free individuals , as it always has .
In light of this , it seems reckless to hand our fate over to the government and trust them to calculate how many people can attend a boot camp or tell us which four reasons are worth risking exposure for .
With the new information released by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ governments around the world are incapable of evaluating tradeoffs in society ’ s best interest .
As tempting as it may be to believe that the government is protecting us with the lockdown , they are harming society more than they are helping it , just as they do with all their other forced regulations .
At a time when a misstep by the government is costlier than ever , maintaining our individual freedoms is paramount .

In the past few weeks, all around the world, governments have held their own citizens hostage in the name of “protecting the people.”
What they have failed to understand is that, every restriction they put in place comes at a cost. By forcing the lockdown on its citizens, the government has taken away the ability for private individuals to assess that cost for themselves.
The wounds that coronavirus has inflicted on society will only be deepened by the unheralded amount of government intervention. Governments have given the people one more foe to battle with in this war against the coronavirus. Those who argue that the measures taken are necessary to prevent unnecessary death are unable to see that these same measures will no doubt cost a great many their lives and livelihoods in the future. Too often it seems that only one side of the equation is taken under consideration during this crisis. The UN recently released a report stating that due to the economic downturn caused by the lockdown, hundreds of thousands of children could die just this year. They also estimate that 42–66 million children could fall into extreme poverty in the coming years. Although these figures are estimates, it does raise a question for authorities: How much is too much?
The government does not have a good track record of providing an answer to this question. In even attempting to answer it, they’ve already set themselves up to fail. We have seen time and time again throughout history that central planning does not work. Limits such as thirty people to a funeral and ten at weddings are examples of arbitrary restrictions that come as a result of a small number of bureaucrats trying to centrally plan an optimal solution. A government attempting to organise society in this way, is no different from the then Soviet Union’s command economy trying to figure out how many potatoes to produce for the year. Both scenarios have reverberating consequences, and the ramifications of a suboptimal reaction to this virus could haunt us for generations to come. The only solution is to allow individuals to freely decide their own actions based on their own risk preferences.
Although the coronavirus is indeed a pandemic, it is not different from any other scenario in which an individual must act. The individual must decide based on their own calculation of their cost versus benefit. Only each individual can know for themselves what decision is optimal for their risk preference and personal situation, not the government.
The concern that the medical system’s capacity and its ability to handle the overload of patients has been raised to the point that “Flatten the curve” has become chic. The optimal societal decision may well be to limit risk to the point that the curve is flattened. However, using that as a reason to impose restrictions is unjustified. Looking back through history, government’s handling of these so-called externalities has been dismal at best, the reason being that these bureaucrats whom we are trusting to make these calculations to “optimise” social benefit are in fact just humans like us. They are subject to bias, influence, and human error.
Nevermind the fact that in situations like these, the government’s interests are rarely aligned with those of the people. Our interests last longer than their terms in office. When the time has come to pay back the debts of lockdown, the bureaucrats who have kept us locked inside our homes will long be gone. Their interests rely on them being able to fool you into thinking that they are keeping you safe. This will involve their use of Orwellian language on an emotionally charged country in the spirit of “never letting a good crisis go to waste.” They will claim how many lives they’ve saved in the short term without any consideration of any long-term harm done by the lockdown. You will not hear any leaders on television speak about the lockdown’s economic cost, because it is not politically favourable to “put a price on life.” Yet individuals do so every day, in all aspects of their lives. An individual understands the risk that they put themselves in while driving on the road, yet persist in driving, because the risk-reward tradeoff is worth it to them. It is this freedom of choice that must be protected, especially in times like these. The coronavirus will undoubtedly have negative effects on the welfare of people, and so taking away this freedom of choice further paralyses an already crippled society.
In a recent article posted at The Lancet, Swedish infectious disease clinician Johan Gieseck writes that lockdowns don’t reduce overall total deaths and claims that when it’s all over, nonlockdown jurisdictions will likely have similar death rates to lockdown areas. He believes that it is inevitable that the entire population will be exposed to the coronavirus at some point and that the lockdown will only delay the severe cases for a while. Whether this is true is to be seen, but it shows that blindly sacrificing one’s liberties in the name of safety would be naïve. If it is true that governments have just delayed the inevitable while summoning forth a tsunami of economic hardship, will the government stand up and take responsibility? Unlikely. The coronavirus, while being the initial cause of the pain, will be used as a scapegoat for the ensuing illness caused by the government. Forced strategies such as “flatten the curve” or “lockdown until vaccine” are justified based on the advice of health experts, who are themselves inconsistent. The true optimal strategy will be one borne out by the actions of free individuals, as it always has.
In light of this, it seems reckless to hand our fate over to the government and trust them to calculate how many people can attend a boot camp or tell us which four reasons are worth risking exposure for. With the new information released by the UN, it is obvious that governments around the world are incapable of evaluating tradeoffs in society’s best interest. As tempting as it may be to believe that the government is protecting us with the lockdown, they are harming society more than they are helping it, just as they do with all their other forced regulations. At a time when a misstep by the government is costlier than ever, maintaining our individual freedoms is paramount.

However, after running another 500 meters on May 7, Zhang required hospitalization following severe respiratory and chest issues.
“In the hospital, after related examinations, Zhang Ping was diagnosed with spontaneous pneumothorax, the left lung was severely compressed by 90%, and the heart was pushed to the right,” reads a report from the Wuhan Central Hospital.
The issue could have been life threatening had Zhang, described as “a thin and tall guy,” not sought immediate medical attention.
Following an emergency surgery (thoracoscopic bullous pneumonectomy), the jogger was stabilized.
Dr. Chen Baojun, chief medic at the Wuhan Central Hospital, said Zhang’s physical characteristics contributed to his symptoms, but that ultimately the mask caused a “significant increase in ventilation resistance and a decrease in ventilation.”
“At the same time, due to insufficient oxygen intake, it will increase the burden on the heart and lungs. Cardiopulmonary injury may cause serious risk of sudden death,” Dr. Chen warned.
“Therefore, citizens are advised not to exercise vigorously while wearing masks,” the doctor advised.
