Fair - and I definitely have more of an issue with say Frum or Kristol.

It's possibly also a mixed feeling becase it's one I recognise myself from a supporter of liberal interventionism and a Blairite ultra. But a lot of them don't feel particularly reflective on the connection between then (and their role in it whether in the Administration, AEI, Atlantic/commentariat etc) and now.

There has been a few cases of hantavirus popping up here and there.
First link to a cruise ship touring the polar circles.
Some passengers got of board before it was confirmed they got it.
Apparently, they contracted the virus before coming on board.

Now it's a flight attendant from KLM with mild symptoms.

Pandemic, round 2?  We were all watching the bird flu, and this is coming from the side?

Hanta pops up once in a while, and has for decades. There's a few variants and I think the new world one is more deadly.

Wait until the media finds out the plague is still around. Should provide a week or two of news coverage. Gotta feed the 24 hour news cycle.

I listen to Frum's podcast, and yeah - he has zero reflexivity about how his views, and his actions, might have paved the way to where we are now.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud when, in one of those, he complained about the smugness of left wing people giving him advice.
