The media is even more garbage than usual.
Extinction rebellion
Kind of sucks to not be able to die because you might get sick.
Civilization

Bailing Out Boeing
Wet Markets
Yes, it’s long past time to ban them. It should be a condition of re-engagement with the Chinese economy.
GPS
Can it be used on the moon?
Maybe, but only on the near side. It really needs its own constellation (and the satellites wouldn’t be in stable orbits).
The MLP
It’s only 44% over budget.
At what point will it be generally recognized what a fiasco SLS is? Maybe when Starship flies?
The Restaurant Business
I’ve never been a big patron of restaurants, both for reasons of cost and health (plus I hate being waited on and having to tip for it), but I’m glad that people who were are trying to help with gift cards.

South Korea infections are dropping; what’s the key to its success?
Basically, testing and tracing. I’ll feel better once there’s a lot more testing going on here.
[Update late morning]
When will it be over, and how will be know? TL;DR, it’s about getting R naught below 1.
Meanwhile, despite the slow start, there’s a lot we can be proud of.
