I have no doubt, Americans as a whole would gladly get on those boxcars to camps if they were told it was for their security.

And other groups of Americans would gladly drive the trains, build the camps, and guard the priso...patients. That story is as old as time itself and all of the Declarations and Constitutions in the world won't change anything.
 
We as a nation refuse to read and study our history. If we did so, we would see that history will -- and does -- always repeat itself as there is nothing new under the sun.

Americans are willingly ignorant and have been taught to become reliant upon the government to meet their every need. Unless there is a mindset change in this nation, there will be no physical change.

This country interned thousands of its own citizens due to racism. Those citizens were not compensated. The Army heavily recruited these internment camps and young men wanted to show how loyal to America they were.

The 442nd RCT was one of the most decorated units of WWII.

We never interned Muslims after 9-11. But hey we will intern people for not wearing masks for a disease that has limited mortality. YOLO.
 
So when we look at Demographics, one of the hardest hit demographics has been Black Americans. Something smacked me in the head today about why closing rec facilities was awful. I was watching this video from the Global Triathlon Network where the dietitian stated that people with Darker Skin require more Vitamin D. So I decided to look it up.


And There's a lot of studies on Black Americans having a higher rate of Vitamin D Deficiency. I'm guessing that has only been jacked the heck up because of lockdowns.

Here's on study published in 2006 that talks about this.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick had said this on a JRE quite a while ago on the importance of D and the tangential relationship to higher rates with some minorities.
 
Interesting article in the NYT going after Cuomo

9 Top N.Y. Health Officials Have Quit as Cuomo Scorns Expertise


The deputy commissioner for public health at the New York State Health Department resigned in late summer. Soon after, the director of its bureau of communicable disease control also stepped down. So did the medical director for epidemiology. Last month, the state epidemiologist said she, too, would be leaving.

The drumbeat of high-level departures in the middle of the pandemic came as morale plunged in the Health Department and senior health officials expressed alarm to one another over being sidelined and treated disrespectfully, according to five people with direct experience inside the department.

Their concern had an almost singular focus: Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo.

Even as the pandemic continues to rage and New York struggles to vaccinate a large and anxious population, Mr. Cuomo has all but declared war on his own public health bureaucracy. The departures have underscored the extent to which pandemic policy has been set by the governor, who with his aides crafted a vaccination program beset by early delays.

The troubled rollout came after Mr. Cuomo declined to use the longstanding vaccination plans that the State Department of Health had developed in recent years in coordination with local health departments. Mr. Cuomo instead adopted an approach that relied on large hospital systems to coordinate vaccinations not only of their own staffs, but also of much of the population.

COVID-19 Lockdowns Caused Cleaner Air – And Warmed the Planet

Well fuck.. What are we supposed to do now since lockdowns cause actually global warming?

The lockdowns and reduced societal activity related to the COVID-19 pandemic affected emissions of pollutants in ways that slightly warmed the planet for several months last year, according to a new study by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).

The counterintuitive finding highlights the influence of airborne particles, or aerosols, that block incoming sunlight. When emissions of aerosols dropped last spring, more of the Sun’s warmth reached the planet, especially in heavily industrialized nations, such as the United States and Russia, that normally pump high amounts of aerosols into the atmosphere.
