    Well, that’s one way to stochastically get rid of excess population now seen as surplus to requirements, I guess.

    Any former employees of the CDC might be interested to know that the EU has been beefing up epidemic response and is hiring. Assuming you’ll be allowed to leave the country, of course.

        Sorry, I don’t know what to tell you. I thought I’d made a mistake with the direct link and just tried it myself, but it works as expected for me.

        In any case, for the benefit of you and anybody else having similar issues: it’s a link to an article about the recent issue of Rutgers professor Mark Bray apparently being prevented from leaving the US for Spain. You won’t have trouble finding coverage of it elsewhere if you’re unaware of it and wish to know more.
