trump “running to her left” isn’t why he won

her not running left was

but I guess that will also happen with Biden

pretty sure trump won (and will win again) because lots of americans hate gays + minorities, and love guns. very little else matters

Seriously though. MAAD is actually a thing again. A lot of the last 50 years has been the US designing and deploying missile defense all over, and while the efficacy of such can and should be debated is seemingly negated now by Russia and China demonstrating hypersonic capable vehicles that can carry nuke warheads. This means that the ballistics c missile defense systems deployed literally all around the exterior of Russia and China don't mean Jack poo poo if your interceptors can't catch them. Lasers and rail guns are indeed a thing but don't really tip the scales in terms of nuclear deterrence...but hypersonic icbms sure as gently caress do.

The US has yet to solve the problem of hypersonic heat shielding and China and Russia have demonstrated that they have in both atmospheric and orbital re-entry contexts.

Every three or four months I remember that Donald Trump can unilaterally end all life on Earth in the span of about 20 minutes. I don't know if the order would be followed, or if it would be like (supposedly) the last days of the Nixon presidency when he was either passed out or blackout drunk and all his staff just ignored him.

it's great, imo.

It's especially hosed up when you think about how Russia was in this situation and a lone person in charge of the big red button stood his ground and didn't push it while his higher-ups (who could have had him literally executed) were screaming at him to push it.

quote:

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is the causative agent of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease pandemic. Initial estimates of the early dynamics of the outbreak in Wuhan, China, suggested a doubling time of the number of infected persons of 6–7 days and a basic reproductive number (R0) of 2.2–2.7. We collected extensive individual case reports across China and estimated key epidemiologic parameters, including the incubation period. We then designed 2 mathematical modeling approaches to infer the outbreak dynamics in Wuhan by using high-resolution domestic travel and infection data. Results show that the doubling time early in the epidemic in Wuhan was 2.3–3.3 days. Assuming a serial interval of 6–9 days, we calculated a median R0 value of 5.7 (95% CI 3.8–8.9). We further show that active surveillance, contact tracing, quarantine, and early strong social distancing efforts are needed to stop transmission of the virus.

...

The R0 values we estimated have important implications for predicting the effects of pharmaceutical and nonpharmaceutical interventions. For example, the threshold for combined vaccine efficacy and herd immunity needed for disease extinction is calculated as 1 – 1/R0. At R0 = 2.2, this threshold is only 55%. But at R0 = 5.7, this threshold rises to 82% (i.e., >82% of the population has to be immune, through either vaccination or prior infection, to achieve herd immunity to stop transmission).
