Ummmm, Rand was this supposed to be a private DM to Lady G?
Man retires after 50 years of public service during which he saved millions of lives.

I don't like Rand Paul and I'm not sure Fauci or anybody at NSAID has any more info on Covid origins than we currently know about but I do feel like we've kinda just thrown up our arms and said "welp" to any idea of actually figuring out how our fucking world got turned upside down in a matter of months and how we can do better next time.

And yeah, I get that we're probably never going to get cooperation from China on anything regarding Covid but to not even fucking try terrifies me.

I wouldn't say no one is trying, but like you said China isn't going to cooperate in any way unless they can prove Japan did it.

And as far as what not to do next time, the list starts with "Don't have a leader who wants to shine flashlights up your ass to see if it helps"

And Trump probably won't spend a single day of his life in prison but everybody seems to agree it's a good idea to go after him for whatever they even might be able to prove in court.

I'm not even blaming government really, if you look at every poll on "what's important to you right now" figuring out why Covid hit so hard and how to prevent it from happening again is so far down the list behind everything else that they'd be hard pressed to really put much effort into it right now but it would also be nice for governments to start being the adults in the room again and do these things because they're what we're supposed to do after something this traumatic, not because it polls well.

For an example, when SARS broke out in Ontario in February 2003 the Ontario Government of the day launched an inquiry in June of that year. That report had a shit ton of recommendations to be followed to avoid mass spread of a similar virus (recommendations we threw by the wayside completely of course, but...). We're nearly three years into this pandemic and the only country I know of with an ongoing inquiry is the UK. That's not good.

^^Unfortunately all we get are political circuses.

And even worse the Republican talking point right now is Fauci is resigning, so he won't have to face a committee review.
I guess people are too stupid to realize that an 81-year-old is just retiring. And also NOTHING would stop them from subpoenaing him from testifying.

Knowing Lake Lanier all too well. The majority of boaters on this lake are Trumper's and also the same group that follows rules the least. Hence why it is one of the deadliest lakes.
