Carl von Ossietsky won a Nobel Prize for his journalism. He reported on the re-armament of the Nazis in preparation for WWII and rising anti-semitism.

He was detained in a concentration camp.

He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1935, and died in police custody.
The other journalist to win a Nobel Prize, Svetlana Alexievich, won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2015. A Belarusian, she wrote extensively about post-Soviet Russia.

Just a guess, but pretty confident Trump was not referring to either of these two people.

I was thinking about the US approach to COVID-19 recovery (keep sick people at home unless they require hospitalization) vs. Asia (segregate sick people in specialized facilities.)

But what if instead of acute respiratory crisis, it turned people into zombies, @dandrezner?
@dandrezner Would you still tell the sick to stay home if there were a chance they'd turn into flesh eating zombies, and thus turn their family members into zombies?

(Assuming, arguendo, there's a chance of recovery from zombiness or zombification)
@dandrezner I would hope you would immediately take the sick to specialized zombie quarantine facilities, with dedicated staff, in the hopes they would recover.

Separating the healthy humans from the zombies or those with zombie bites would need to be done to protect the populace.

Fascinating. ICYMI, @briankrebs took a look at who's registering the domains behind the "reopen" protests.

Lots are astro-turfed. The question is, who's paying for this, and why?

@briankrebs Lots of the "reopen" domains are registered to gun rights groups.

Reminder, @timkmak revealed that the NRA has significant ties to Russia. npr.org/2018/03/01/590…

Which leads me back to the first question: Who's paying for these movements, and why?
@briankrebs @timkmak As @briankrebs notes, some of these "reopen" movements tie back to the Dorr brothers, who have opaque financing, and are making money off of scaring Republicans and creating chaos.

Also, in this time of anxiety and crisis, I will be watching "The Life of Brian."

Just warning you all, there might be tweets...

"Spare some alms for an ex-leper?"
"He had his way with me then, wham, like a rat out of an aquaduct."
"Apart from the aquaduct, sanitation, and the roads..."
