    Noem dit Wuhan-coronavirus geen “killer virus”. Vorig jaar stierven 140.000 mensen aan mazelen, 770.000 aan HIV, 405.000 aan malaria, en 1.500.000 aan tuberculosis. Ik kan u garanderen dat al deze mensen even dood zijn als diegenen die sterven aan het Wuhan coronavirus.

    Today is the anniversary of George Washington’s death. How did he die? He caught a throat infection. Then his doctors decided to drain 2.5L of blood (2/3 of a gallon, about half his blood). Somehow he didn’t make it. Why would his doctors—the best available—do such a thing? (1/9)
