    When a pandemic occurs, a hard lockdown is an obvious and effective way to stop it. However, lockdowns come with serious societal issues. For example, during COVID-19, a critical mass of people opposing lockdowns coalesced in Britain. This was mainly due to two demographic groups, namely self-employed people, who were concerned about their own economic losses, and parents, who dreaded the prospect of having to be closed in the same home with their own kids. Seeking validation and trying to promote their own personal interests, these people became main spreaders of disinformation, eventually falling prey of state-sponsored populistic and anti-science propaganda machines.

    In this study, we show that one can use optimization and control theory to introduce only light travel restrictions between macroareas, such as states or regions within a country, yielding better final results in terms of infections and economic damage than those that were actually obtained at the time.

  9. The "Costs of War" project, based at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, estimates that the total death toll in post-9/11 wars – including Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria and Yemen – could be at least 4.5-4.7 million:

    Blair is one of the Western leaders who shares complicity for this appalling death toll: mondediplo.com/2003/07/01ramon

    State lying has been thrown down the memory hole by media outlets who welcome him with open arms.

  10. A #virus controls its own long-distance dispersal: a #plant virus directly induces a long-winged morph in male insect vectors. This regulation is mediated by a species-specific unclassified #gene, which was proven a downstream factor of the #insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling pathway. The long-winged #insect #vectors induced by viruses in turn facilitate viral long-distant #dispersal and large-scale #epidemics

''This is the first confirmed #human case reported after more than two decades, since the last reported human cases in #Argentina occurred in 1982/1983 and 1996. #WEE is a rare #mosquito-borne viral #disease that affects #equines and humans. Most human cases are associated with #epidemics in #birds or #horses.''
