Right, so now you're not allowed to post anything critisising Trump, I will delete any such post. | |

Ok I'll focus my criticism on the UK gov't then; plenty to work with there. | |

Ah, Twitter, naturally the correct forum for journalism and accountability. More trustworthy than Reuters, and much faster than an inquiry. | |

You're right - that guy is just entrely making shit up. It's not that the gov't won't tell us who is on their scientific committees, and it's not that they claim the committees are independent, and its' not that Cummings has been sitting on at least one of those 'independent' committees. None of that is known already to be true and being lampooned in this tweet. | |

I didn't even click the link, I just saw it was directing to Twitter. I mean, if that's how you do accountability, that's up to you. | |

Yesterday I saw a guy beating his wife in the street. I've organised an inquiry for when he stops beating her so we can find out what happened. | |

Ong, we have accountability here too-- congress has the power of subpoena, it's great, except if you just stonewall them, and were able to stack the courts ahead of time, nothing comes of it. Maybe your system of checks and balances is more robust, idk, but to rule out public pressure as a lever against poor governance is naive. | |

Notice how he insta-bailed on the questioning after the abridged episode of Reality TV Pandemic President today? I really don't think he wants to talk about it. Which is of course the perfect reason to keep bringing it up every time he shows his face. | |

ECON 101 on reality: humans have unlimited desires in a world of limited resources. To allocate resources to better meet desires, humans use their comparative advantages. |

They certainly can tell the government that they're fucking up, and they should if they feel that way. It's called feedback. If those in power feel the criticisms are unjustified, it behooves them to find a way to convey that to the populace. Don't forget that the whole apparatus runs on the faith or subjugation of the people. | |

Trump talks about using uv-lights and injecting desinfectant, the next day they find Kim in a vegetative state. Coincidence? I think not. | |

Should it surprise anyone that criticisms of a gov't are more likely to come from people opposed to that gov't than those who support it? Surely that doesn't mean all such criticisms are 'fake news.' Criticisms, even on social media, can be based entirely on known facts. People may misattribute the motivations of those responsible, but their actions are usually clear to see, and those are what they should be judged on imo. | |

This is another problem with their continued insistence that they are 'following the science'. There is no expert I know of who would recommend acting late with containment efforts like lockdowns, and/or not preparing the health services with, e.g., adequate PPE. Their stance seems to be a veiled excuse 'if things suck and we end up having the worst outcome in Europe, it will be because we got bad scientific advice'. This 'bad advice' argument isn't a good excuse at the best of times, but seems even more disingenuous when there's no transparency about what that advice was or how any so-called expert could have suggested such an ass-backwards approach to the crisis. | |

It's a mutual waste of time. I hope you're doing something else at the same time. I am, I'm 24th out of 388 from 8500+ entrants in the $1 micromillions. | |

If I saw the man beating his wife, then saw her the next day with bruises, then he argued that someone had advised him to hit her, I would believe he was guilty of assault. I wouldn't need to wait for a court to hold a trial and make it official. My standard of belief does not require independent verification from an outside authority, I can reach logical conclusions very well all on my own. | |

It can certainly be disputed, but I've yet to hear a good argument based on anything that corresponds with actual evidence that does dispute it. So far, the main arguments to counter critique of the gov't have been platitudes such as 'this is not the time to criticise'. | |
