National Labs Join Fight against COVID-19
Some of the world’s best scientists and high-tech equipment have been enlisted to find solutions for the viral pandemic.
The NNSA labs should not be doing this work. They should not be doing science. They need to do bombs and nothing else, no mission creep. Maybe we needed science in the cold war when innovation was needed but we are not in the era any more and have not been there for some time.
1:41 notes that the article does not list a plethora of National Labs. I don't know if Berkeley and the NERSC computer center (which was once at Livermore) are going to extol the capabilities of other labs. They may not know what is being done and can't speak to the efforts or it could still be tribalism at play. You don't hear LLNL and LANL crowing about each other. The author of the article was probably reaching out to sources that were already known to him/her and probably had a timetable to get the article out. I am sure that down the road NNSA will get the glossy photos are suitable quotes out to say "We were there!"
5:26 sounds like the fellow on 3/27/2020 @ 4:57 that disagreed with the idea of the NNSA super computers being used to address the virus. The claim that NNSA should not be involved sounds like a "Not My Job" attitude. Roll up the sleeves and get to work or step to the side and say thanks to let those that will work.
4/12/2020 5:26 PM is the persistent "no science at LANL" guy. Just spouting off again, no real comment or new thought. He's also the "Bechtel, baby!" guy from a couple of years ago. He's very bitter that LANL screwed him (in his opinion), and that Bechtel wasn't his savior in destroying LANL as he wanted. He hates science and scientists, and any good works by LANL cause him extreme apoplexy. Pretty sad, really. The really sad part is when he posts that he is really, really, not bitter.

and you are the "bitter" guy. Can't post a thought without the word bitter. We all have to put up with your posts that are not about the topic but instead just a Prologue of why not to listen to someones opinion. It's old.
Somewhat back to the topic. It is finally circulating through the “media” that this may have been caused by an “accidental” release from the virology lab in Wuhan. Trying to apply at least one scientific principle, this may be the simplest answer possibly. Thoughts?

(1) That is just a distraction to take heat off Trump who is the one really responsible.
(2) It is certainly possible and would mean that China has some explaining to do. The reality is China is rather fast and loose with bio ethics in general. Don't be surprised if the when we find out that are making genetically modified people, bio weapons and so on. This stuff could be a real threat to the rest of the world and China is just the country to do this.
(3) Maybe it was just that a accident and nothing more. My understanding is that many labs look at modified strains of such viruses to get idea of where the next flu comes from.
(4) It is no accident someone let this loose maybe not the state of China but some worker ect.
(1) That is just a distraction to take heat off Trump who is the one really responsible.
Back in February it was the right wing sources, likely to deflect, but now its starting to come from the left wing sources. I'm starting to think there is more intel on this and its starting to leak out.

A remarkable lack of NNSA labs in this summery, despite the various crowing...

Is it true that Trump's Base is up for a group Darwin Award?

I think you meant to post this on reddit or yahoo....
The Darwin Award goes to the entire communist leadership of China.
