When has the world been right? The last thing I recall was the banning of all flights from South Africa. Stop the testing mandate but do so based on localized data/reasoning. I'm positive they won't, *the US did so we should too*

According to Walensky, historically it would start in face and arms but with this outbreak they're seeing patients presenting with rashes around the genitals.

"*She said that what is known is that those diagnosed with monkeypox in this current outbreak described close, sustained physical contact with other people who were infected with the virus.*

If this is the case, you essentially would not be able to tell since noone walks around with their genitals exposed. Also this would be like Chinese water torture for a bad case

"*Historically, people with monkeypox report flu-like symptoms, such as fever, body aches, and swollen glands, before a characteristic, often diffuse rash appears on multiple sites of the body, often on the face, arms, and hands,” she explained. But, she emphasized that **during the current outbreak, patients are instead developing a localized rash, often around the genitals or anus, before they experience any flu-like symptoms at all,** and some haven’t even developed such flu-like symptoms*" healthline.com

So if you present around the genitals and nowhere else, have no flulike symptoms, who in the sex orgy would know?

She should apologize as Fitzgerald, Mitchell and DAguilar should apologize for dragging private citizens into house discussions.

And forget the House. This is NOT the way to tell a worker to do a better job.

*Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned*... so I guess Pat Rahming was correct!

From another story, slightly off track:

"*Shortly before 8am, police were alerted by Shot Spotter to multiple gunshots in the area of Williams Lane off Kemp Road.*"

I really question our use of technology and the thought we put into system design. Anyone who's heard gunshots knows the sounds echo for miles. These areas are so densely populated, the police most likely got multiple calls from concerned residents. Why the need to point out that the police were alerted by "shotspotter"? Everytime they mention that, the reporter should immediated ly ask how many phone reports did you get? Even one would suffice. Shotspotter's detection capability is not an effective use of the technology in our house on top of house society and was misused for this purpose. A better application would have been "*from the break*" to integrate with video technology. But someone in the room would have had to have been non star struck by technology or the foreign presentation team, and asking hard questions. Said so years ago but years later we still justifying this *detection* angle

This wasn't "*shooting at church*:, this was "*shooting at basketball park*". The targets werent going to prayer meeting. Using *church* is click and drama bait. But we definitely headed in the wrong direction

If the excuse "*I didnt know*" is enough for everyone to say "*oh ok*", we are all doomed for a serious disaster. Because disaster management is all about information. The Speaker was wrong for thinking Russell should have been onsite, Russell was wrong for the lack of coordination on information between agencies and a one man i.e. nonexistent, command center and Laroda and Pintard were wrong for accepting "*I didnt know*" as a valid explanation

i like Captain Russell too. He's in that post because he exhibited excellence during a previous hurricane I believe. So we know he has a competency. The question is whether he's effective in the higher position. We keep getting surprises on simple issues. And while they simple when the clouds blue they could be disastrous when the winds blowing and the seas rough

I dont agree with the piling on on the Speaker. I suspect it has root in some form of passive chauvinism. *how she could talk to big man like that*. Because I remember clearly DAguilar doing the exact same thing to Ian Poitier, an educated, bright Bahamian... Harvard or Oxford I dont recall, someone who held a senior post (may have led) the UK Creatives transformation program and DAguilar said of him basically ~*I dont know why he's in tourism, I dont see that he adds anything. And why he getting all this money?*. (I could be wrong but I suspect Poitier is the person behind those beautiful speeches Brave has been delivering on the world stage. If I am wrong I apologize to the super talented author). My memory is fuzzy, but I dont recall Pintard asking DAguilar to apologize when the information he used to attack Poitier publicly in the HOA was proven to be false. DAguilar simply said, no comment Im not talking about it anymore

The speaker was wrong to lambaste an employee publicly but I wonder if Pintard really took the time to analyze the statement from nema the first part of which said Captain Russell CALLED the MET of to find out if there was a tornado.... i leave that there

nobody in this entire episode seems to have a clue
