A lot of reasons and context have been given. I’ll add one.

The common infrastructure indicates that someone centralized is directing this and paying for it. One naturally wonders, Who?

Part of the power of grassroots protest is that it indicates that citizens are moved to act on their own. But if it’s paid for, that’s very different.

You and Aristophanes, in The Frogs, 405 BCE, as noted and cited in the article.

There's also H.L. Mencken's "Brayard vs. Lionheart", 1920 CE:

[W]hen a candidate for public office faces the voters he does not face men of sense; he faces a mob of men whose chief distinguishing mark is the fact that they are quite incapable of weighing ideas, or even of comprehending any save the most elemental—men whose whole thinking is done in terms of emotion, and whose dominant emotion is dread of what they cannot understand. So confronted, the candidate must either bark with the pack, or count himself lost. His one aim is to disarm suspicion, to arouse confidence in his orthodoxy, to avoid challenge. If he is a man of convictions, of enthusiasm, of self-respect, it is cruelly hard.

That was mentioned in the article - it was described as disastrous, at least initially. Now? China has a firmer grasp on the problem of COVID-19 and are battling it on many fronts, including the geopolitical.

Western governments (edit:those listed in the article such as the US and European powers), on the other hand, have been beset by decades of political parties attacking the legitimacy and foundations of the political system in order to score points against their rivals. This has led to a widespread unease and distrust among their voters, and a subsequent weakening of their governmental controls and regulations.

I don't agree with all the points raised in this piece, and I suspect that this weakness of the West is part of a longer cycle. But, for now, there is some points raised in this article that we should ponder.
It's fairly well-known that the Tea Party was basically funded by the Koch brothers, right? I assume you've read things like [1] which go fairly deep into how they funded and organized pretty much all the "grass roots" activities of the Tea Party

Now, these "reopen" protests are basically the same. The sentiments of the people are real, but the funding and organizing are not "grass roots" by any normal definition of the word. For example, of the Michigan protests[2]:

> The Michigan Freedom Fund, which said it was a co-host of the rally, has received more than $500,000 from the DeVos family, regular donors to rightwing groups.

> The other host, the Michigan Conservative Coalition, was founded by Matt Maddock, now a Republican member of the state house of representatives. The MCC also operates under the name Michigan Trump Republicans, and in January held an event featuring several members of the Trump campaign.

> The crisis highlights the contrast between the competent responses of East Asian governments (notably China, South Korea and Singapore) and the incompetent responses of Western governments (such as Italy, Spain, France, Britain and America). The far lower death rates suffered by East Asian countries is a lesson to all. They reflect not just medical capabilities, but also the quality of governance and the cultural confidence of their societies.

Ooh, can I do some cherry-picking, too?

How about the incompetent response of the Japanese government, where it's gotten so bad that healthcare workers warned their healthcare system may collapse [0]

Singapore's having their own Covid resurgence [1], related to those underpaid and exploited migrant workers, crammed into dormitories, which they'd like everyone to continue to pretend don't exist (in Singapore the streets clean themselves).

In the Phillipines Duterte has used the pandemic to seize even more power for himself, heading in the direction of becoming a fully-fledged military dictator. [2]

For Western governments, how about the lauded [3] response of New Zealand [4] and, perhaps to a lesser extent, Australia?

This is an article that started with a thesis (China will use its power!), cherry-picks a tiny amount of supporting evidence to tie in with Covid (so topical right now), then wanders off down the well-trodden path of speculating about future Chinese influence (despite the initial mentions of Singapore and South Korea, this is article actually only about China) and the downfall of the West.

What exactly does it mean?

Right now, US embassies world wide halted visa services. So, they can't process immigrant and non-immigrant visas.

USCIS has stopped any in-person interviews at local field offices. That will keep in limbo those who have filed for change of status while being in the States.

Are USCIS service centers processing any applications for visa petitions?

Trump has made it really difficult in the last three years just by using delay tactics. USCIS field offices are just sitting on applications, not calling for interviews; when they call for interviews, they don't decide on time.

Now another Executive Order?

“I bought these names to try to stop the insanity, basically. And it just turned to insanity,” he said. He felt forced to unplug his phone, and his inbox exploded with messages attacking him—and potentially trying to hack him.

Almost all of the hate was coming from liberals, many of them egged on by presuming posts from amateur Twitter sleuths who mistakenly pegged Murphy as a conservative organizing protests in defiance of nationwide stay at home orders. None of the hate was from conservatives angry at him for keeping them from using the domains themselves."

A good demonstration of the linguistic fact that far from being meaningless, prepositions (adpositions, more generally) are actually highly consequential for meaning and are highly ambiguous between different meanings.

> The problem is that those observations are typically used to conclude that "this is just a bad flu" and advance political demands such as "immediately reopen of the country".

And why not? Should studies and observations be dismissed just because the result isn't what some people want?

>The question that truly matters is "which model is less wrong" and the overflowing ICUs in NYC and Europe

No overflowing ICUs here. Emergency rooms are way under capacity.

Where I am, we have a population of 4 million. Only 40 ICU visits during the whole pandemic. Only 59 deaths and the majority were individuals over the age of 80. Over half were in nursing homes. And yet there's a vocal group who don't want anything to reopen.

Where is the line where we reopen? 25,000 Albertans die every year. 275,000 Canadians die per year. 2.8 million Americans die every year. It's not reasonable to wait until coronavirus is completely eliminated when economic hardship itself is correlated to a higher mortality rate.

Edit - just looked at some closer stats for my region: only 3 deaths under the age of 60. Population 4 million. With 3k official cases and likely 30k or more total cases.

I'm curious if it'd be beneficial to randomize the order of items under each category, per client. That way, a traffic spike on your site would less likely result in traffic spikes on the first items on the lists from non-picky buyers.
The title "CNN says Kim Jong Un in Critical Condition" would be better. Best to hedge the statement before more info comes to light.
Implications?
I think the initial "The Carver" mystique set up the comedy of introducing a kid, but that the character might've actually been a stealth critique of a much more common dotcom stereotype:

* Mechanically grinding out large amounts of formulaic code.

* Routinely abusing medication for performance enhancement.

* Smug, strutting, arrogant, and rude.

* Demands very high compensation.

* "Laidback".

* Secretly a massive fudge-up in their work, but there's mutual interest in not calling that out.
I have to disagree with this for several reasons. First, defining grass roots as independent events is not the typically used definition. It simply means trying to get support at the local level to most people. For instance the Bernie Sanders campaign was considered "grass roots," but those people were usually all convinced by a national voice, Bernie Sanders, potentially use advertisement dollars collected by different states. Secondly, there are many situations where any organizer tries to make changes in different states and thus creates multiple websites. Thirdly, in literally 10 minutes I could buy the domains and create both of those websites with about $50 and in less time if I knew an activist who had a template for it. Perhaps a friend who just created a website for another state? This doesn't take a massive organization or entity to push an agenda. Lastly, it seems extremely likely to me that this agenda, affecting the entire country, is very likely to be sought by any of the over 20 million people who recently claimed unemployment benefits, or the many millions more who also lost their job and simply have not filed for unemployment yet, or the business owners who are getting their livelihoods destroyed. I'm not seeing the great leap here where astroturfing would even be necessary given the current situation and feeling of the populace for a couple of cheap websites.
For one-on-one videoconferencing meetings with normal latency (e.g. within 3-4 time zones), I find zero fatigue or problems like this.

The only "fatigue" I find is frustration when people are talking over each other or multiple people trying to jump in at the same time. This generally happens either when latency is bad (e.g. US-Japan), connections are bad generally (MS Office decides to auto-update in the background and saturate your download), or just when it's a particularly contentious meeting with lots of people trying to get a word in edgewise, and all the normal cues you use to figure out when to talk just aren't there. And the reasons for those all seem self-evident.
If these were private matters affecting only particular individuals as a consequence of their particular decisions, then yes, I would broadly be open to allowing private choices.

But it's not. Folks breaking shelter-in-place orders impose a non-trivial risk on everyone else. This is a classic externality problem and the classic answer, if a market mechanism cannot be formed, is regulation.

Since viruses don't respect cap-and-trade schemes, we are stuck with what we have and we should absolutely punish those who impose substantial risks (2% is absurdly high, are you kidding?) on the rest of us against our will.

Because it largely works for the weather, why NOT here?
I don't know about those theories. I suspect something else. Do you remember landlines, and how responsive they were? You would say things back and fourth and the conversation just worked, even on three-way and conference calls? There was very little noticeable lag!

Even in the early cellphone days, I'd often prefer using my landline. There was less lag. Cellphones felt like speakerphones where it tries to do that cancellation stuff and you feel like the conversation is split into pieces .. like a walkie-talkie where you don't control the "over" / button press.

Cellphones have gotten better, but they've never really hit the latency of landlines (or maybe they have and I didn't notice. I never actually talk to people on my phone any more). Video conferencing like that that but worse. It's really apparent if you're on a remote team and you're next to someone on the same call. You can hear that delay.

I like a lot of the fatigue comes from that delay. We can connect more people now, with video, over great distances, but it does come at a cost at moving from virtual dedicated circuits to package switches networks and transcoding on some central server.

Even if your claim is true, that doesn't necessarily mean it's a problem with UBI -- it could be a problem with 'most people's beliefs'.

Consider that 'most people', in the west at least, consider it normal to work ~8 hours a day, 5 days a week, with 1-4 weeks holiday per year, and do this for ~45 years.

Where did all those numbers come from, and how long have we (as either a culture, or better yet as a species) thought this is normal?

I don't think anyone's suggesting that most people are inclined or capable of changing their beliefs, or rather habits, overnight -- but that's also not a reason to abandon the consideration of UBI.
> but again, I don’t know how it’s scandal that one org can’t represent their topic in two states.

The ACLU doesn't try to hide their national organization, and their local affiliates make no secret of their connection to the national organization. These "Reopen" sites are obviously not behaving in a similar manner.

>>>It is on chicken factory farms that we have most frequently found viruses that have mutated from a form found only in animals into a form that harms humans.

That pretty much proves your point of small farms not testing.

Fortunately or unfortunately when there is a breakout in a large factory farm and it gets reported, the policy in my area is for a total cull of all birds, including small farms like mine.

I raise chickens on my small farm and stand to lose thousands of dollars and six months of egg production when not if the next cull occurs.

I believe there is some value in having a greater variety of genetics in livestock to prevent monoculture outbreaks but the truth is it only takes one positive test of one bird regardless of how diverse a flock is and every bird within 100 miles is culled, even the ones that might be immune.

On a side note: I think attacking farmers of any type during the current crisis is not smart, the food they(We) are currently producing on large and small farms is going to be needed badly in the comming months when the long term negative effects of the economic shutdown appear....Winter is comming!!

> there are other solutions, because in addition to trying to change the people you can also try to help those in poverty.

Yes. That solution, to the problem of rich white people trying to stop sharing their school funding with poor black people, is to not allow them to leave. That's what happened. Nobody ostracized anyone and your simple form is an invalid analogy. If anything, it would be more accurate to say that they saw a white shop owner consistently turning away black people and took them to court to say that black people should not be turned away.
Narratives that blame "greed" and other kinds of non-egalitarian behavior seem to forget that humans are animals. We should recognize that expecting organized forethought across a species, and organized ethical behavior is expecting something never, ever, ever seen before in nature.

There are no animals, besides us, that ideate about anything except benefit to themselves and their offspring. However "bad" we are, we are the sole species that has spent a full single second of its existence trying to be "good" instead of just eating and fing and killing our way to the next day, possibly feeding the animal next-to us to our lovely offspring. For every other animal, killing an adjacent creature to take what they have is exactly is routine, and they are unapologetic.

It is great to see humanity become more impact-aware, and I have high hopes for an even more enlightened future, but it is somewhat absurd to presume that honesty, kindness, and altruistic thinking are somehow the baseline because that is the way we would like it. We imagine that something is "wrong" when they aren't happening. These are the default conditions. Every time a human departs from "hand-to-mouth", and from rationalizing deaths of the weak is a valiant leap from natural instincts.

By these measures, humanity's response has been unprecedented. The coordination, however flawed, has never been seen like this in the history of this world or any other that we have seen. It is only the grandiosity of our fantasies about what we are that lets us tell these alternate stories.
It's a physical asset, with strict environmentally regulated storage requirements. Holding it speculatively for 5+ years requires that the speculation will pay in excess of the storage fees compounded at a reasonable risk adjusted rate of return for the 5 year duration.
