"Daszak appointment seems to have united everyone!" Since we're making analogies to classic literature, I'll point out that this was the precise plotline of visionary author Alan Moore's *Watchmen*. Trump is definitely a dystopianversion of Nixon, while Daszak has substantial equivalence to a genetically-engineered squid. As for all the Twitter "love" I do have to admit it's impressive! It makes Covidfaker's collection of hate-tweets seem almost tame.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

Unfortunately, Daszak's farce is already a tragedy. It's mind-blowing that Sachs/Horton appear to have no appreciation how terrible a choice this was.
