It was racist because Corona virus was already spreading in from Europe in New York.
That and Corona virus does not make exceptions based on citizenship or nationality. Unlike Trump's partial ban on some, but not all, Chinese flyers.

Non-bailable has a very different meaning than I thought it does apparently. They should have gone with "bail-less" or "released, no bail" if they are implying she didn't have to post bail, but was released.

That can happen when it's a rate of growth going negative.
For example, the population growth rate of a rebounding endangered animal suddenly dipping after an extreme weather event. Like a flock of whooping crane getting caught in a tornado.
If the whooping crane population grew in size 20% last year, but decreased in size by 5% this year. Then the rate of population growth decreased by 125% (the population growth rate went negative).
The same could be said for inflation rates or stock growth rates if a positive trend suddenly reverses.

They're often nocturnal, hunting birds or eggs from nests, and I'd guess sleeping in the trees, they don't stand out like a sore thumb.
A quick google search and apparently the Jacksonville area has had recurring snake power outages in 2014-2017 for similar reasons.

Rough Green snakes ~3 ft, Red corn flakes snakes ~4ft, and Eastern Ratsnakes ~6ft, are all known as good climbers.

Neither am I, bad math is a side gig. Biology is more my interest.
Like how did they not already have this same reptile issue with Floridian snakes crawling into electrical infrastructure?

Percentages don't work this way, but the thought was probably: (Down 50%, resulting in 3) if reversed is (50% up from 3)=4.5
I'd probably assume the .5 was a brownout caused by iguana and not round up or down if that was the case.

Wouldn't it be 6? 50% down from 6 would be 3 power outages.

That's fair. My point was just that the U.S. government does spend a sizeable amount on healthcare, drug development, and licensing/testing.
Problem is that U.S. healthcare patients get and see none of those subsidies in their bloated medical blls. Like $25 for a single tab of aspirin.

If you qualify for any portion of Medicare or medicaid then some component of it is subsidized by the U.S. Government.
And many treatment studies are subsidized, you just don't pocket the benefit. The healthcare industry is the one banking on those studies and scamming the populace.
