   There is effectively martial law (yes, I wrote it down wrong, thanks) any time there's a large fire in CA. Police patrol abandoned neighborhoods. And then everything goes back to normal. It wouldn't immediately go Red Dawn. Most p

   Yeah, that is exciting, we should all hope it turns out to be accurate. But by young, I just mean people age <60, not children. If 10% of the fatalities are people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, or 50s, that could be hundreds of thousands of pe

   Is the main goal just to delay the widespread infection until we have a vaccine produced? It seems like this was always an impossible goal. So does it even matter when this goes pandemic? Sure, more preparation would get us more masks or so

   Those seem like good guesses. Either seems plausible to me. It does some weird mid-air pause thing at 0:32. And generally seems to be going horizontal or even increasing in altitude. Maybe that's just momentum? It could also have tiny

   I looked at quite a few of the UFO videos on YouTube and none of them seemed legit to me except maybe this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-91Nobn2xk The uploader looks like the kind of weirdo that would grab their ph
