We must be getting close to the season finale of whatever show this is, right?
The part where the scientist warns the incompetent leader about the dangers but has to escape so she can tell the world the truth, that part we already saw.
And soon the streets have to be patrolled and citizens are hoarding food and water and, wait...yes, toilet paper. Check.
Then other leaders and celebrities start getting sick, but the president says he’s fine! And the Vice President is in no shape to take over.
And in the background there are news reports of markets crashing and the Chinese blaming us while we blame them but meanwhile the case counts keep rising on this terrifying graph...
Wait, now I’m just looking around and noting down stuff that’s really going on. Crap.

Oh, ok. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your local pub and you flirt with, oh I don’t know, that cute bartender without healthcare, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world... h/t @nycjayjay
that you don’t take the Lib's warnings too seriously to care about what you do because this is America!

But what you don’t know is that that bartender just came from a gym which refused also to close its doors.
There the bartender took a hot yoga class with 50 other people, some of whom were infected.

You’re also blindly unaware of the fact that in 2009 Swine Flu killed tens of thousands of people.

Today, February 19th, is a Day of Remembrance. On this day, in 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 authorizing the evacuation and internment of Japanese Americans along the West Coast of the United States. /1
More than 120,000 people, two-thirds of us American citizens, were rounded up, removed at gunpoint from our homes, and incarcerated for years behind barbed wire fences in ten different camps, without trial or due process. /2
We mark this day to say both "Never Forget" and "Never Again." I have spent my life trying to ensure that we learn from this dark chapter of our shared history. /3

Today is the day we call #DayofRemembrance, to commemorate the day 77 years ago that defined my life. On that day, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which imprisoned my family and me simply because we looked like the people that bombed Pearl Harbor.
I remember the barbed-wire fence that confined me for four years from ages 5 to 8. I have memories of sentry towers with machine guns pointed at me. I remember the searchlights that followed me when I made the night runs from my barrack to the latrine.
It is Executive Order 9066 that made me a social and political activist dedicated to preventing such miscarriages of justice ever again. Roosevelt was a great President. But he was also a fallible human. A great President can also make great mistakes.

I recently dreamed that one of my colleagues was wrongfully accused of murder, and because of the trial, could not teach their fall class. I feel like an "oh god I have to solve a murder so I don't have to teach an extra class" anxiety dream is like next level #academiclife.
in the past half hour this tweet has gone from wtf anxiety dream to "when will I have time to write this spec script and also who will play me in the HBO series"
S1 opens in mid-summer when a tenured computer science prof is found in his lab surrounded by simple robots testing conversational agents, busily chatting about top-voted reddit posts while he dies from blunt force trauma. The murder weapon is a dusty teaching award.
