Seems results-oriented. They need a pandemic bad enough to cancel Wimbledon more than once in 70 years, but looking back at history it seems far less common.

History becomes less relevant to this the longer ago it was. Pandemics probably become more frequent in an age of mass migration and travel. The pandemic of 1918 is thought to have been caused by the movement of troops.

I’d also expect a changing climate to expose us to different sorts of diseases.

True but health and medical standards have also progressed immensely. Also less likely to have those massive wars with hundreds of thousands huddled together in horrible conditions for months on end.

Plus the increased number of antivaxers.

From your POV maybe, but try telling that to 4 million Syrian refugees living in squalor. And that’s just a current example.

OK but that existed on a larger scale + wider spread wars before. Anyway I don’t want to derail this any further. Who really knows either way, I suppose we could easily be much more susceptible now.

As long as the 141 covers their losses for this year, I would call them well-prepared. Maybe the rate they paid was not optimal, but results-oriented descision-making seems to be exactly what insurance is for.

This is straight heat

What is that?

Drone footage of tourist places in and around San Diego…with zero people on a gorgeous spring day

I’m just seeing one picture of rows of flowers and no video (like a screenshot of a video).

Worldometer shows Russia has performed 1M+ tests. On a scale of 1-10 how confident are you that number is accurate (1: not confident at all, 10: 100% confident).
