It teaches that if you want to walk safely walk through streets covered with shards from glass houses you live in it's best to have feet of clay.

One of the intellectual advantages of Christianity is virtue lies outside the world. The Church militant did not have to depend on its own perfection. Without transcendence virtue must be relocated on earth. The elite class groans under the burden of gods.
That's why the cult of personality and the emergence of a vanguard class so frequently appears in all self-referential human systems. The people on TV are either necessary or nothing.
Neil Ferguson didn't sign up to be a narrative holy man. The people on TV volunteered him because they needed one.
Honestly, if what Neil Ferguson said was true it remains true whether he had an affair or not. If his model was wrong it remains wrong even if he was Nelson Mandela and Greta Thunberg rolled in one. Truth is independent of virtue signaling.

As Jay Cost notes, there is no canon yet. Self appointed fact checkers are should stay out because the dust hasn't settled yet. There will be a time for historians.
Self appointed fact checking is one of those gray area professions, like social media influencer and aspiring rapper. Why?
The presence of Covid cases in Ohio as early as January means China's wildlife market timeline is wrong. But it's consistent with the October Wuhan lab accident report.

"Ask China". Trump is focused like a laser on turning the virus, lockdown and economy into a referendum on China. If the Left is not careful they'll unwittingly be maneuvered into being apologists for Beijing or risk agreeing with him; a fate worse than political death.
Beijing's political style of fighting was optimized for the Davos-dominated, media indoctrinated world. They invested in all the respectable places. Hollywood, universities, media outlets. Trump is waging asymmetrical warfare against this infrastructure with considerable effect.
Beijing figured it could use the Coronavirus chaos as cover to move its agenda forward. But Scott Morrison, Boris Johnson and Trump realized they had to beat the CCP to the punch and pin the chaos on them. They had to or lose the fight.

It's like all the good guy movie lines have been turned round against the narrative.
As I wrote at the Belmont Club, reshoring, reopening and the 2020 elections have merged into one.

The left has turned 2020 into a referendum on one man -- who is in turn making it a plebiscite on the global world. If they want to defeat that one man they need a vision of their own district from the gloomy Green Future.
