TheObviousDilemma

Go read the TG post from DPR blogger Murz. Here’s an English translationThey definitely are running low on everything, and about to collapse according to him and he’s a hardcore Russian nationalist.

When have you heard it from a hardcore Russian militant reporting on Russian frontlines? This is a new development. He says they’re running out of artillery shells and artillery pieces. They’re now using obsolete tanks as artillery which they cannot handle. They’re running out of modern armor too so they’re basically throwing light infantry at the same positions over and over again, and running out of soldiers too.

No hardcore Russian nationalist has ever been that candid, and he is on the frontlines

I have to ask, and please forgive if this sounds rude, but besides basic info on what’s going on, why is this really newsworthy? The number of infections is tiny, and the fatality rate is also very, very low. The primary vector in the US us males having sex with males. In Africa, it’s mostly from eating bush meat, and then being transmitted to people caring for the people who contracted it. On top of all that, there’s an effective vaccine.

It doubly feels odd for the coverage and attempt to create a form of panic. people have largely tuned out Covid, despite daily infections still being quite high, restrictions are essentially over.

I would understand the large amount of coverage if it was a new disease that had no treatment, and affected everyone, like Covid. However none of that is true. When there’s a really bad flu season or something, there might be a few articles over the year, but it’s not getting the attention monkey pox gets.

It honestly feels like click-bait news designed to generate ad revenue by playing off people’s Covid fears. I’m not trying to be rude, but I’d love for you guys to explain why the general public should be concerned? As long as people have the basic facts, why do we need continuous coverage?

Women scientists aren’t allowed to touch nets or go on boats? Are you just talking about fisheries in Africa or is it a worldwide phenomenon?

Also, why is it more difficult to attend expeditions at night? Presumably these are expeditions studying things at night, or are we talking an event or function?

In Africa it’s from eating bush meat and caring for those that have it. It’s definitely a niche population getting it.
