Re: forget about Agamben

Unless over 80 years in age with underlying ill health conditions, best to STFU as having no skin in the euthanasia game, otherwise you will be hunted down and bio-executed. Triage quacks, holocaust deniers and apologists first to be fitted with the stainless steel intubator. # distributed

Re: Should use mobile phone data to monitor public health

hi all sorry for my poor joke about a cull of the ultra-rich: perhaps it's wrong to invite the 8 men who Oxfam declared three years back owned as much as the the poorer half of the world's population to join hospital porters in the world's most understaffed hospitals - for the good of their
