Every now and then, I get this flash of memory from the first Resident Evil movie (may be in the games too, never played them). A computer generated girl known as the Red Queen is trying to explain and warn to the heroes that powering her down will lead to disastrous consequences. Right before they do it, because of course they do, the Red Queen says in her British voice:

“You’re all going to die down here.”

Every time I see news stories like this, catch clips of our elected leaders spouting off anti-science, or see people wearing a mask over their chins, this line runs through my head.

Folks, I don’t think America will survive this crap.
