I'm pretty sure that the 'disease frozen in the glaciers' thing is part of a premise to a video game.
and even then, those diseases will be quite vulnerable to our antibiotics, since they have had 0 exposure towards them
Plus nobody knows how long they would survive after being thawed
And it’s unlikely that enough people would be infected in that timeframe to cause an epidemic
Ebola is the disease that AOC should be worried about, but there’s a trial vaccine for it I think
Plus the best way to prevent the spread of disease is border control - Obama understood that when his administration basically eliminated travel and immigration to countries with Ebola outbreaks in west Africa
It’s effectively the same logic as the ‘Muslim ban’
We don’t want to import dangerous, infected individuals into our country, so we severely restrict travel/immigration from areas where the infections occur
Nobody shrieked that Obama was racist when he did it over Ebola.
If you loosen the definitions enough, 'diseases Frozen in glaciers' was the premise for The Thing.
Why is anyone surprised about this?
The mass hysteria is retarded.
Agreed; the sad part is that none of those measures will be effective. Cover is inadequate on its own. It's best used in conjunction with some kind of specialized tool designed to force shooters to stop in their tracks.
Hmm, what kind of tool would work for that?
I'm envisioning something that would enable a person to throw something dense at the shooter at high speed... maybe it could use a pressurized hot gas to throw it out of a long tube? There would need to be some kind of mechanism to allow the defender to activate it on command... Maybe with one finger.
This will take some thinking.
Maybe river rocks or hockey pucks
Good thinking soldier. We could keep them in buckets.
Locked up, of course - can't have those kids getting into them too easily or quickly
1. Yes, school shootings are real.
2. They're still utterly rare.
That doesn't mean we should do nothing, but stupid assinine bullshit answers like rocks and hockey pucks (and rubber batons) help the problem, nor does spotlighting (http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/spotlight.html), which that CBC article clearly (absolutely and unquestionably) is.
Now, that rant over... There are other related reasons to secure schools; Most of y'all are too young to remember, but in the late 198Ø's and early '9Ø's, there was a rash of non-custodial parental kidnappings at schools. There's ***STILL*** a drug problem in many schools (Paterson NJ's Eastside High School former principal Joe CLARK became famous when hr took the problem on with baseball bats and chains on the doors, *Lean on Me* was loosely based on his story).
But nothing stops a shooter as fast as knowing he's *GOING* to die if he tries.
How's that never trumping working out Bret Stevens? Are your new friends standing up for you? Oh what's that they're hypocritical liars and they hate you regardless of the fact that you switched sides for them. Gee who could've predicted that.

The same case can be made for radicalizing people on the left
You’re watching a buzzfeed video and next thing you know you’re on TYT and breadtube
One minute you're reading an NYT article arguing that the USSR wasn't so bad, next thing you know, well you're already there pretty much
So... ¿One day you're fat and happy, the next you're dead of starvation?
Shoot. And right before she was going to tell all those white women why they were wrong for voting for Pres. Trump.
