Oh Shit.

1. Which is the flotsam and which the jetsam?

I can't tell since DeSantis took down the only covid data site comprehensive and factual enough to be worth perusing. Even my humble homeland of Kentucky has good info available on the interwebs. But I can't even discern whether your post is classical or impressionism. Hemmingway-esque maybe?

Woe is me, dammit.

2. Confiscated the hard drive at gunpoint

At her children. But she will not be intimidated!

"They pointed a gun in my face. They pointed guns at my kids," Rebekah Jones tweeted.

3. Don't like the video. Don't know why.

All I really know is that the website I visit daily is not being updated per usual. I haven't had that sort of interruption since last May when I started using her site for data allocated per zip code.

5. The video is

Police entering a house, woman raised her hands, gun brought out, asking if anyone else was in the house, she told them her children. The Police demanded they come downstairs, confiscated all her hardware. She was simply keeping track of Covid-19 cases.

All this Under DeSantis order with no warrant.

You do not call this Gestapo tactics? What is to question? What is her crime?

7. Did some research and now I know some things about that video.

You asked, "What is to question?" That deserves an answer. Here's what I got.

What I didn't like was that:
A. It seemed set up.
a. What I have discerned since is that she took some time after learning that cops were at her door to put on clothes and that's probably when she placed a camera to record their entry.
B. The scene stopped abruptly, but without apparent action by the cops in the house.
b. Upon reflection that is pretty reasonable. The clip's next expected action was the appearance of her husband and their children. She probably knew she wanted to post this on social media and it would be unwise to broadcast her family's faces there under these circumstances. She probably then simply stopped the SM playback posting at that appropriate time.

So, in conclusion, I guess she's as straight up as I thought she showed me to be last spring.

You may wonder, "why is this guy so suspicious about stuff?" I'd respond, "It's still 2020."

4. And then after the Christmas holidays there will be a third wave that dwarfs the 2nd wave.

Cuz 'Mericans are stupid.

6. Most definitely "Oh shit!"

I wonder how much worse a virus needs to be before it could swamp us like that little boat.
