The clowns that are politicians in Belgium these days. What happend to a land where the biggest expertise is compromise? These fools won't even agree to meet half the time, let alone compromise.

Whatever the opposite of 'statesman' is, it is these people!

After a night of drone induced chaos in Brussels and Belgium - my bet is that most of these incidents are local jokers or false alarms. I don't believe Russia could be co-ordinating all these incursions all over Europe.

Almost 60 percent of the public health care budget in Belgium (compulsory insurance) is spent on 5 percent of the population. It sounds crazy but the reality is most of us will transit through that 5 percent (probably in the last year or two of our lives..

I can't help looking through all this junk online about #3i/Atlas. I know it is mostly likely a natural phenomenon but it is so exciting! The wait for more info is creating a vacuum though that is giving rise to an unprecedented tide of misinformation about science. Hopefully only a small wait now!

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.
Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn't warning the public like it was months ago
