@benFranklin2018 My guess is that the institutions are failing because the sort of people who settle in them tend to be herd followers. They pay much attention to the herd and just a little to their official subject matter. See also "Systemantics" by John Gall.
@benFranklin2018 Top-level academics that I know *still* don't get that Trump is highly skilled and effective at what he does. They seriously think that "a military coup is against the rules" can stop Trump. They've socially and mentally insulated themselves from the world outside bureaucracy.

Finally, a sober-minded article in major news media that at least countenances the possibility that Trump could attempt a military coup d'état:
washingtonpost.com/outlook/five-m… OK, I don't think The Root is major news media, but I'm glad to see an article posted *today* pointing out that Trump is trying to start a military coup. @michaelharriot has it exactly right: theroot.com/im-not-saying-…

1/25 An important question, one that everyone should know the answer to!

I am not an expert on epidemiology, but I can share what I've read. This is not super-complicated, but it requires 20x more patience than most things. Still, everyone can understand it—and should.
#COVID19 2/25 First, some background on the mathematics of epidemics. This is the part that requires patience.

From #Russia today:

"In the pharmacies, there are no masks. People are grabbing food off the shelves. Soon we will be fighting coronavirus with our bare hands."

"No masks in the pharmacies. What to do?"

"Lies." (Putin's claims to have the #coronavirus situation under control) Image "Lies, all lies. The ambulance says they have nowhere to take the sick. The infection ward has 8 rooms left—8, laughable."

1/ The idea that the Electoral College doesn't work because it doesn't always match the popular vote is a misunderstanding of the Electoral College. 2/ An electoral college is a group of *delegates* chosen by a larger group of people to make a decision on their behalf. The electors deliberate and vote amongst themselves.

1/ We underestimate the danger from Trump when we call him "dumb", "stupid", "incompetent" or "a loser". Trump is *cunning*. 2/ Smart, educated people said that Trump couldn't win the Republican primary in 2016. Smart, educated people said his campaign was disorganized and amateurish. They laughed as he made errors only a rube could make.
