New Republic: How Pandemics End (Podcast)
The first Covid-19 vaccines have arrived. But when will life as we knew it finally resume?
On December 11, the Food and Drug Administration authorized Pfizer to begin distributing its vaccine for Covid-19. The triumphant moment comes on the brink of a grim winter, amid record case levels across the United States, and it is accompanied by countless unknowns. For Episode 22 of The Politics of Everything, hosts Laura Marsh and Alex Pareene talk to Nicholas Christakis, a physician and sociologist at Yale University and the author of Apollo’s Arrow: The Profound and Enduring Impact of Coronavirus on the Way We Live, about what to expect in the coming year and beyond—what it will take to recover from the pandemic’s devastation, and how our lives may be permanently changed. Later in the show, Melody Schreiber, a frequent contributor to The New Republic, and Rebecca Coyle, the executive director of the American Immunization Registry Association, join to discuss the challenges of the vaccine rollout. When will vaccines be available to ordinary people? What kinds of problems may arise as they’re distributed and tracked? How long, in other words, will all this last?

"Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) said Monday that two Capitol Police officers have been suspended and that either a National Guard member or Capitol cop was arrested as a result of investigations into the storming of the Capitol last Wednesday. A total of ten to fifteen officers are being investigated, Ryan said. Ryan has oversight of the Capitol Police as Chairman of the Legislative Branch Subcommittee.
Ryan said one officer was suspended for posing for a selfie with a protester inside the Capitol and another was suspended for wearing a MAGA hat and apparently directing protesters in the building."

I would think that some of the people thought they were allowed in. I think that is pretty naive. I think it is mostly naive, but not beyond a reasonable doubt.
I think the joy riding analogy holds to some extent.
Could not congress held a lottery and picked 300 protesters to sit in the gallery after going through a check point and being scanned and patted down.
I am of the belief that Democrats set this up.
Disciplining 10 to 15 police ahead of trials is going to make it hard on Democrats looking to lock hundreds of people up as political prisoners.
Guy with the podium theft. He is guilty.
Guy sitting on the VP's chair. Disorderly conduct and community service if that.
Being in an office that has been ransacked that there might be a felony. A person might stake a step in and look. To me that is harmless and stupid. The persons or people that ransacked an office... that is a felony.
Guy, who took a laptop? If there was more than 1 felony ... well he did the crime.
I believe making the opposition crazy is a political tactic. It involves in undercharging your side or not charging them at all and overcharging the other side. It involves ignoring your incendiary rhetoric and squealing about other's rhetoric ad naseum. Yeah that would make a lot of people upset and crazy.
I think the woman crawling through the window was incredibly stupid. She was crazy, but I understand it. See paragraph above.
Democrats can have the purges, re-education camps and forced confessions (See Brennan's demand). I am reminded that a country already did al that and destroyed the university system, So the sent hundreds of thousands of students to the US. Democrats want to replicate the Chinese disaster in education and and industry?
The answer is apparently yes, because they want the money and power so badly.
