Government bodies decide who is an expert across the world. It's not a huge step to say you shouldn't talk unless you are an expert. And before you say that the government has no control in that, they most certainly do, either by hiring/firing leaders of that field or through the judicial system. It's why some countries ban elected officials from interfering, but these days they seem to ignore that.

I mean Hendra virus jumped from Bats to humans and horses, only in Australia, and all the researchers are only in Australia and most of those in QLD where most of the outbreaks have been and all the deaths have been, must be the researchers doing it..... My understanding is that corona virus is in the local bat population it kind of makes sense only the local people would be investigating it...

Not to say that this is incorrect, but I think that Jacksons version was closer, I don't think it quite captured her as per Tolkins description

Galadriel grew beautiful and tall, even for the women of the Noldor, being strong of body, will, and mind, "a match for both the loremasters and the athletes of the Eldar in the days of their youth."

Indeed, "she was then of Amazon disposition and bound up her hair as a crown when taking part in athletic feats".

The Dúnedain said that her height was two rangar, or "man-high" – some 6 feet 4 inches (193 cm)

She sounds like she was a bit of a fighter in her youth, kind of like the RoP show, but she also had magic about her always... I think these days with D&D every where people struggle to imagine a warrior and a magic user. But she as also a creator

Also, she was a Noldo, and therefore close to them in mind and in the passion for crafts; and in Valinor she had learned from Yavanna and Aulë, the creator of the Dwarves himself.

also this, she was not deceived by Sauron at all

Galadriel was not deceived, and rejected him, saying that he was not in the training of Aulë as he claimed

while I am not a US gamer, I am a gamer, and the reason for me is, there have been no games that are exciting or interesting to me coming out... there is somewhat of a drought of good games... Some Co-Op multiplayer games would be good. I suspect its also because of the trend to just update your game like Fortnite, so a you don't need to play another game to get new content and secondly the games companies are busy updating games instead of making whole new games.
