V. Illych L. posted:a war in europe was too risky. the soviets quashed any large-scale conflicts in their zone of control and the americans did the same in theirs. the EU does not account for the lack of conflict in eastern europe; only the dominance of a superpower does that I'm not saying EU is all-great, it has plenty of problems - but they're ones that can be solved without sending young people to their deaths.

No. 1 Callie Fan posted:They say you get to know your friends in times of crises, and we sure have one across the pond. Currently, president Trump is trying to lure CureVac, a German based medical company, to move their headquarters to the US. The deal? For the right price Trump would have a license to the corona virus vaccine, "but only for the United States", to quote an unknown newspaper source. Such a country exclusive license is vehemently opposed by the German government, which is currently participating in a bidding war with the orange man. They're of course not the only horse in the race for a vaccine, but to have a nation try to woo a company to move in and keep the resulting vaccine is morally dubious, to say the least. Also, the company wasn't looking to move to human trials until some time in June or July, so in addition to hopefully not going through and making Trump look like even more of a despicable excuse for a human being than he already is, it also makes him look absolutely desperate as if he's clutching at straws.

Cat Mattress posted:You could have just said, "die you filthy non-urban". When infrastructures such as a hospital is closed, it's not the locals who get away from things, it's the things that get away from them. I'm also immune-compromised, and as a result have voluntarily self-isolated since the 9th of March. Non-urban people are much less likely to catch the disease; there's only been 9 new cases in my entire region, whereas the region where the capital is in has seen by far the biggest change in new cases, meaning the correlation coefficient by which infectious diseases are estimated (and which forms the red vs green curves you see) looks a lot different.

A Buttery Pastry posted:I think this is making some assumptions. Sure, if there's a strong state response that effectively quarantines the infected within certain cities and regions, then yeah, it is much safer outside those regions. If it's not though, then all that's happening is that the more peripheral regions have their outbreaks delayed - just like our outbreaks were delayed from that of China.

One thing I like to do on the 4th of May, which is the day Denmark was informed that it was no longer under Nazi-German occupation, is to listen to the Freedom Proclamation and think about what that would've been like based on the stories I've heard from my grandparents as well as many others. It's a sobering thought but does put things into perspective a bit.

It's a pretty pithy headline, but when you realize that she did it because she didn't want to be prime minister of a government whose basis for existence would be called into question at every turn had she not, and that there's a pretty good likelyhood that she'll be the prime minister of the new government given the Swedish term limits (at least according to a Swedish friend of mine who's been following it for a long time, when I talked with her earlier today), it's not really that big of a deal and probably the right thing to do?
