And that is a pretty grim picture

In context

    The response to seeing 12 patients with 4 spike mutations perhaps was a bit rash...

    Yeah, they really didn't handle that well... That said, the culling was absolutely the right thing to do IMO.

    But perhaps it was necessary to get it done politically
  9. 2020-12-10 07:47 Kristian G. Andersen open
    Yeah, that was really dumb. To be honest though - I think it was the only way they could get the politicians to wakeup, so they used it as an excuse.
