Under a Feb deal w/the Taliban, US troop withdrawals from Afghan were to be conditioned on a reduction in violence and a severing of ties between the Taliban and al-Qaeda. Neither condition has been met, yet Trump says he will pullout all troops by Xmas.look.substack.com/p/eight-things… Image
Analysts have warned that a precipitous US withdrawal will further destabilize Afghanistan. The Taliban called Trump’s pullout announcement, which came in a tweet, “a very positive step.” Violence in Afghanistan has escalated dramatically in recent months. Taliban is to blame. Image

I am starting to see articles noting the possibility that the #coronavirus may mutate. Mutation was the striking feature of the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic. People often describe the Spanish Flu as "coming in waves." The first and third "wave" were mild forms of the virus.
It was the second wave of the Spanish Flu, coming in October and November 1918, that killed millions. So what is the learning here? A virus can change form over time. A vaccine targetted to prevent one form of a virus may not prevent subsequent forms from causing infection.
This is a rapidly changing public health emergency. Listen to the advice of the CDC and state public health officials. For those of you who would like more info on the 1918 pandemic, here is the 2/21 report our history journal published.

1 We live in a time when there are few public advocates for a national investment in science. It is a time for “common sense” solutions. Evidence-based scientific inquiry is denigrated as the province of “elites” & is viewed as offering no viable solutions to national problems.
2 But it hasn’t always been this way. In 1838 the fed govt made an astonishing commitment to science w/ the launch of the US South Seas Exploring Expedition [gen known as the Ex. Ex.], a 4-year mission to chart the sea areas & adjacent coastal regions of the entire Pacific Basin.
3 The Ex. Ex. consisted of six sailing vessels and 346 men and included a team of nine scientists and artists. The Ex. Ex. was one of the largest voyages of discovery in the history of Western exploration, and would mark the start of government involvement in science.
