DS9 Babel : Pandemic on a space station

 



I think this one is pretty obvious, except, they create a cure not a vaccine.  And there were comedic moments, which would seriously help in real life.   

I was also wondering why they didn't wear masks once they knew it was an airborne disease.

 

 We are living in HISTORIC TIMES.  Eventually this shit will be in American History text books or at least pdf files, or whatever they have.

The Republican Party has been infected.  And the hostile lifeform has manifested itself in the many acolytes Trump has in the Republican Party, but the so many in the Republican Congress have forgotten that they are civil servants, and their purpose is not to achieve POWER but as a PUBLIC SERVANT THAT SHOULD REPRESENT THEIR CONSTITUENCY.  And that constituency is not the 1% and rich corporations who they love to give tax breaks to or is it to destroy America's DEMOCRACY.  That is exactly what Trump wants to do, which should have been obvious in the events leading up to the 2016 election, but ...
