She seems nice.  How about we arrange for her to experience the same things the people originally forced to wear that symbol suffered.

Mark Eaton dead after bike crash

So sad.  He was a gentle giant and very much a part of the SLC community.  I met him in the parking garage elevator of the Red Lion Inn in the late 80's while in SLC for work.  My view was level with his belt buckle.  He's the largest person I've been in near proximity to.  The Red  Lion was just down the street from the Salt Palace and was the predominate hotel for NBA'ers.

Keep in mind it took 15 years to find the exact origin of SARS-COV-1. 

Who figured it out?

Agree.  Getting a mouthful of fat with those is, uh, not enjoyable.

From 2015 and the concerns about gain of function research,
https://www.nature.com/articles/nm.3985

"Together, these data and restrictions represent a crossroads of GOF research concerns; the potential to prepare for and mitigate future outbreaks must be weighed against the risk of creating more dangerous pathogens. In developing policies moving forward, it is important to consider the value of the data generated by these studies and whether these types of chimeric virus studies warrant further investigation versus the inherent risks involved.

Overall, our approach has used metagenomics data to identify a potential threat posed by the circulating bat SARS-like CoV SHC014. Because of the ability of chimeric SHC014 viruses to replicate in human airway cultures, cause pathogenesis in vivo and escape current therapeutics, there is a need for both surveillance and improved therapeutics against circulating SARS-like viruses. Our approach also unlocks the use of metagenomics data to predict viral emergence and to apply this knowledge in preparing to treat future emerging virus infections."

And from Feb 1, 2020.

Fauci said US government held off promoting face masks because it knew shortages were so bad that even doctors couldn't get enough

In an interview with the financial-news site TheStreet, Dr. Anthony Fauci said the public was initially told not to wear masks to stop COVID-19 because of shortages of PPE for doctors.
He said the government's shift in advice was because of "changing circumstances" and new research.
He denied that earlier advice against wearing a mask was a contradiction of the new policy.

Because of the fires, we had stacks of N95 masks. We mentioned this to someone we know who works in Health care last March, "could you use these" and they said "PLEASE".

Even with huge chunks of the population super mask averse this whole time, it wouldn't take very much for people to chew up the supply of N95 and surgical masks back in March/April, before the cloth masks became the thing

There are 3.5 million people unable to read this rationale for gain of function research.

Maybe I should have taken screen shot and linked a picture, so nobody on a phone could read it.   

btw, there is a lot more to the article I linked than the quoted text.
