A Govester briefing is proof we're scraping the trust barrel | John Crace

Johnson & Hancock both sidelined with the virus and Rishi Sunak – just about the only person who inspires confidence despite being only 12 – unwilling to make it a daily gig. theguardian.com/politics/2020/…
“So this time we got Gove front of house. A man who has almost become the dictionary definition of someone who cannot be trusted...he could not be trusted not to stab himself in the back”

(Ouch! @JohnJCrace special)
On the plus side he had remembered to replace the pyjama bottoms that he had worn for the Zoom cabinet meeting in the morning.

...then the tests...the numbers... the chemicals...the reagents...
Oh dear.

Coronavirus in sewage foreshadowed outbreak in Dutch city | News | DW | 31.03.2020

Gertjan Medema and colleagues at the KWR Water Research Institute in Nieuwegein tested wastewater in 7 Dutch cities as well as the wastewater of Amsterdam Schiphol airport. dw.com/en/coronavirus…
“Samples taken from a wastewater plant in Amersfoort, near Utrecht, show that the virus was present in the sewage on March 5, weeks before any cases were reported in the city. The first cases in the Netherlands were confirmed on February 27”
Sewage testing has been used to detect poliovirus and drug prevalence in the past.

I can see that this system might be used, esp early on, to target testing and tracing.

Is it possible to use the same system to estimate concentration in the population too?

Anyone know?

Alok Sharma draws the short straw and makes an April fool of himself | John Crace | Politics | The Guardian

Almost everyone in government knows (The daily presser) is a disaster.... theguardian.com/politics/2020/…
“...Which is why most cabinet ministers switch their phones off for several hours every morning: because they don’t want to be the mug who winds up having to front the 45-minute embarrassment live on TV at 5pm.”

And Chris Grayling’s birthday is 1st April. OMG.
“Have you got anything more than warm words & good intentions?” He was asked. Sharma nodded earnestly. His words were going to get a lot, lot warmer – red-hot, even – & his intentions were going to be the best ever. You ain’t seen nothing yet. B-b-baby. You ain’t seen nothing yet

This is completely anecdotal but I've been talking to family, friends & co-workers about the China virus. I've yet to talk to one person that cares about it. Most often, when I bring it up people laugh about it. I really think that while the virus is a concern, the media & others
...are not taking into account the American Grit when it comes to this virus. Even with all the soyboys out there today, there is still an underlying Grit to Americans. We tend to push through events like this not hold up and go into a bubble. We deal with things as they come.
Many still have faith in God to not give us more than we can handle. We aren't easily spooked. We tend to see a better future not a shitty present. We take the normal precautions and soldier on.

I’m pleased that the US government is responding on Coronavirus, I don’t think President Trump is the person that inspires confidence in the response, this could have been a more trusted government official
An actual doctor from CDC perhaps, would help, this talk about the election, politics has the opposite effect.
Putting VP Pence in charge of this Coronavirus response is bizarre. Literally “thoughts & prayers” could be the strategy based on that pick. America has great talent. What is happening? I don’t care who the administration is, we have the best people/processes, let’s do this right

Something You Might Not Know – A Jewish U.S. President | Arizona Jewish Life

This goes a long way to explaining the 1965 Immigration Act on Johnson's watch...

web.archive.org/web/2019051702…
Johnson played fast & loose with US Immigration Law to bring residents locals expressly did not want to their Texas neighborhoods & attacked Cajun & Native American identities

& his father defended Leo Frank

alleged participation in JFK's assassination to protect Israel's nukes
Both Nixon & Jackie O said Johnson was involved in the assassination of JFK.

Jackie expressly married Onassis because he could protect her

"Johnson & I both wanted to be President but only he wanted it enough to kill for it,"

Nixon told Roger Stone

“Combined with post-election audits, these low-tech methods [hand marked paper ballots] provide evidence that voters’ choices were counted correctly when tabulated.” 3/

@WorkFearlessly Why is so much of the writing on #PsychologicalSafety just a re-hash of Google’s research and of the works of @AmyCEdmondson? We need more original research. Here’s my small contribution. 1/
“To build #PsychologicalSafety, try #Trust.” @AmyCEdmondson. I’m working on a meta-analysis on #Trust and #PsychologicalSafety, aimed at potentially finding a theoretical model for the development of #PsychologicalSafety in a group. 2/
Even though #Trust != #Psychologicalsafety, it is a necessary but not sufficient pre-condition for it, and looking at the scientific research into #Trust gives us many useful insights into #PsychologicalSafety 3/
