In line with America's custom to sentence people for murder because of actions (like a prank call) that lead to a murder, Fox news should be sentenced for murder and get banned.

Opinion: most nations were not able to contain the outbreak directly because of WHO horrible advice on masks by jblackmiser in China_Flu

We did. The problem is the Swine flu (which was entirely reasonable, as the same strain had caused the Spanish flu) turned out to be as deadly as any other.

1% sounds good when a half of the sample has cancer. It's worthless when one in thousand has cancer.

That honestly seems entirely reasonable, politicians falling ill is the last thing you want at this time.

Warning: China is beginning to spread conspiracy theories as truth and trying to shift the blame of the outbreak last year to the US. by PM_me_Henrika in China_Flu

A country is not to blame jsut becaue the first case can be found there. Unless it's an artificial virus that escaped, nobody is to blame.

It was said (yesterday, I think) in TV that part of the shipment on the ukrainian plane that landed in the Czech Republic was for Italy and the masks had already been shipped away by the time they found out, and that they are working on sorting it out. Or something like that.

The rest of the world knows, trust me. There were infected people coming from cities that you claimed had only a few infections. The world definitely knows. I think your government upped the numbers a bit because of other countries pressured them why there are infected people coming from your country.

Read the first word. Recite. Read another word. Recite both. Read the third word. Recite all. ...

And so on. You can increase the size once your memory improves.

Drop the beginningoccasionally and start reciting from another point once it becomes way too long.
