Tip: You might want to review more carefully before posting rants, especially when the target was posted at +2 reflecting earned Karma from a history of reputable posting.
You might also want to read https://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/10/22/world-end/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law. I deliberately attempted to account for Poe's Law, in that the five thousand year old quote mentions "algorithms". That should have been a clear hint.

Our Earth is degenerate in these later days; there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; algorithms are feeding our children pornography; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; every man wants to write a book and the end of the world is evidently approaching. <ref>Assyrian clay tablet, 2800 B.C</ref>

Are you willing to go to war with Russia over Ukraine?
Yes.
Ukraine should invite a handful of troops each from as many countries as possible, to camp along the border. If Putin breaks any of their toes then the answer to your question is yes. Putin should be well informed that every country will consider that an act of war, and that they will all immediately mobilize all forces necessary. Don't waste anyone's time explaining consequences to me, I'm not stupid. Putin is an uncivilized psychopath, but he is not stupid. If he somehow WERE that stupid, there's no point in putting that off 'til tomorrow.
23 August 1939 Russia formed a treaty with the Nazis, dividing territories of Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Finland into German and Soviet "spheres of influence", anticipating potential "territorial and political rearrangements" of these countries. Less than a month later Russia invaded Poland, and proceeding with annexation of Finnish, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, and Romanian territories.
Putin grew up as Soviet KGB, and he still thinks in archaic cold war terms. He wants to violently rebuild the Soviet Empire - if he thinks he can get away with it.

Although a widely cited report (7) credits the VPUE mechanism with uncovering the pandemic, it was HPHICWM that identified both the outbreak and the Huanan Market connection and passed on these fully formed discoveries to district, municipal, and provincial public health officials by 29 December (9). National officials reportedly did not learn about the outbreak until CCDC Director George Gao encountered online group chats about the WHC emergency notices on the evening of 30 December. Concerned that so many cases had not been reported to the VPUE system, he quickly notified the National Health Commission (14) (see fig. S1).
and
Although mechanisms like China’s VPUE system are potentially invaluable, they will fail without both widespread buy-in from health care providers and rapid data sharing from local to central authorities. Key problems with the VPUE system were known before the pandemic, including that most clinicians in China had little awareness of the VPUE system and were not reporting cases to it—for example, 0 of 335 PUE cases in one study from 2019 (5). China should be commended, however, for having such a system, which is lacking in most countries. The focus now should be on fixing the problems that COVID-19 has exposed and blanketing the globe with a highly functional PUE early warning system.
So, irrespective of whether a contaminated researcher from the virology institute wandered into the market, or the contamination came from live animals within the market, his major conclusion is that community spread was already occurring in the middle of December centered on the market with the first real human (asymptomatic) infection likely occurring about November 18.
That's a lot of useful information to be aware of now and going forward in anticipation of the "next virus with this pattern of spread".
When we start to see entire cities destroyed by climate issues, or major farming regions converted to desert right before our eyes, that's when we'll take action.
Yes, and that action will likely consist of violent mobs killing any member of the reality-based community.

July-September quarter = 92 days.
950 incidents divided by 92 days divided by 78 stations = LESS THAN ONCE PER WEEK at each station.
Building a specialized tool for this is stupid.
