“The second wave is much bigger than the first wave,"

You cannot relax. It is extremely dangerous because one day this asymptomatic person will infect others, and the power of transmission of this virus is extremely powerful."

英国政府原抗疫口号

英国政府新抗疫口号（计划采用口号）
"stay alert, control the virus, save lives"

"Is coronavirus sneaking around in a fake moustache and glasses? If we drop our guard, will it slip us a Micky Finn? What the hell is 'stay alert' supposed to mean?"

Stay at home as much as possible
Work at home if you can

人类挑战新冠试验
a new website called 1 Day Sooner
COVID-19 Human Challenge Trials
Human challenge trials deliberately expose participants to infection, in order to study diseases and test vaccines or treatments.
Thousands of people want to be exposed to Covid-19 for science

Human challenge studies date all the way back to the first vaccine, for the highly lethal smallpox disease（1796）.

Challenge studies offer high reward, but also high risks

Volunteers have different reasons for signing up -- some altruistic, some pragmatic
"I know that there are risks, and if I were to do this, and it were to go poorly, then that would be terrible, my family would be really sad," Rohrig said. But "someone has to step up. It seems like this just needs to happen."
"I feel if I did it under a controlled environment, and I had an adverse reaction, my chances are much better in a controlled environment than I didn't know I had it for a week until something had deteriorated to the point I realized," Gentle said.

James Woods 与 Donald Trump 在推特推来推去 (詹姆斯·伍兹。影星，特朗普拥趸。)
"Donald Trump is a rough individual. He is vain, insensitive and raw. But he loves America more than any President in my lifetime."
Trump retweeted that assessment; "I think that is a great compliment," he wrote. "Thank you James!"

特朗普或再次胜出的原因之一：
The simple truth is that Trump was not (in 2016) and is not now someone who a majority of Americans say they like or admire.
Four in 10 voters said that the most important quality in a candidate was one that "can bring change," among that group
"he's a jerk but he's an effective jerk"

特朗普亲自推销亲自示范羟化氯喹效力
Donald Trump says he has been taking hydroxychloroquine to combat coronavirus, despite health warnings
Mr Trump said his doctor did not recommend the drug to him, but he requested it from the White House physician.
"I started taking it, because I think it's good," Mr Trump said. "I've heard a lot of good stories."

"What do you have to lose?"
这句话很豪放。有壮士一去，也有不怕开水的感觉。

rough，vain， insensitive，raw， jerk

有书记载，人类自45000年前来到澳大利亚。那时候满是从未见过听过的奇观：高2米，重200公斤的袋鼠，体型像老虎大的“袋狮”（marsupial lion），体重2.5吨的双门齿兽（diprotodon), 不会飞的大鸟，足有两个鸵鸟大------不过几千年，所有体重50公斤以上的24种动物惨遭灭绝23种。人是什么？人是“毁灭天地的大洪水”。

Nancy Pelosi called President Trump 'morbidly obese.' Is he?
How large would you need to be to qualify as having "severe" or "morbid" obesity? According to this BMI calculator, a 6 foot tall man weighing 300 pounds would have a BMI of 41 -- and would be considered in a state of "morbid" obesity.
Which is not Donald Trump
In his February 2019 annual physical, Trump, who is 6'3", tipped the scales at 243 pounds. That gave him a BMI of 30.4 -- just over the edge of obesity but far from the technical definition of "severe" or "extreme" (or "morbid") obesity.
特此证明特朗普远未达到 'morbidly obese.'。做新闻工作的态度可见一斑。

俺看了这条新闻之后也赶紧上网查了一下BMI计算方法，顺便免费给自己计算了一下，结果显示，疫情几个月内，俺已经向 'morbidly obese' 迈出可喜的一步。
是日暗下决心，日行万步，出门一看，下雨，还是上网吧。无法避开的 'obese.' ，顺其自然吧

又看到猫新闻，由宠物变成野兽之后，大开杀戒，现在要除它，似是已除之不尽了。
Biosecurity Queensland estimates there are as many as 5.6 million feral cats across 99.8 per cent of the country.
Mr Gentle said cats often took reptiles, birds, mammals, insects, fish and amphibians.
"A lot of our native species they can readily catch and consume."

今年BB取名最独特的名字揭晓：
This year we’ve been introduced to quite a few interesting baby names.
We met Elon Musk’s new baby boy named X Æ A-12.
We also meet little Covid Bryant, a ‘combo-name’ to reflect the coronavirus pandemic and death of famous basketballer Kobe Bryant.
And then there was baby Sanitiser.

但是：
McCrindle Research has released the most popular Aussie baby names - none of those three is included, sadly.
