The scientific process by which the specific genetic coding of infectious agents are systematically evaluated in order to determine shifts in regional infectivity, percentage of disease relative to similar variants and identification novel gene sequences capable of antibody generated vaccine escape as targets for booster immunization.
Are you at all concerned about COVID variants causing a resurgent pandemic?
Are you kidding me? Ain't no virus causin' people sickness. I ain't skeert, no way.
What about genomic surveillance to help identify and track disease transmission?
They can do whatever they want with their own garden gnomes; leave mine out of it!
I see. Thank you very much for the interview Senator.

An individual, usually a medical doctor, with profound insensitivity, intractable callousness and severe emotional retardation sufficient to disqualify from all but a select few, highly structured environments where social interaction is anticipated.
See that guy?
(yeah)
He's a medical-grade asshole
(really? seems like he's created a fairly nice life for himself and his family)
THAT doesn't matter; he's a total social disaster
(maybe social structure isn't really an important motivating force for him)
Well, it SHOULD BE
(perhaps. what's he do for a living?)
Oh, he's an arrogant physician, a surgeon in fact.
(I see. Seems like that would require some intelligence, dedication and fortitude)
I'm sure. But it's much more important to have highly developed social skills and emotional maturity.
(so without those attributes, other seemingly separate accomplishments are diminished?)
Absolutely. He would be a MUCH BETTER person IF he had them.
(seems like you care more about those things than he does, why is that?)
Because I see so much POTENTIAL; if he would just get with the program.
(your program?)
Yes! He needs to do better.
(and what do you think would happen to him if he doesn't?)
Well, he will continue to be a medical-grade asshole
(and who do you think will be bothered most by that?)
ME, clearly! He's so insensitive!
(so it bothers YOU that HE comes off as insensitive?)
Yes! I want to HELP him!
(ok, you want to help him to become something that he's potentially incapable of becoming?)
He's not incapable
(has he ever tried to force you to go to medical school?)
What? Why would I do that? I'm not the least bit interested in going to ...
(yeah)

With a particular emphasis trending social media--the forwarding, re-Tweeting, and otherwise propagating in-box material to as many contacts as possible over the shortest period of time.
Now THAT'S a fuckin' Tweet-Storm ... IMPOTUS Rage Share Record: 105 in 3 hrs. Nuthin' better to do, I guess.

That special time of the year when IMPOTUS presents all of the administration's past lies--in the context of it's future misdeeds--to Congress and the American people.

The tendancy toward fantastical exaggeration as applied to any given event, personage or statement as a method of establishing veracity or plausibility, however unlikely.
Ok, so the biblical flood required animals to be gathered 'from the four corners of the earth'; marsupials from Australia, spider species specific only to the African rainforest, Pandas from Asia..that's 100 million+ animals, all within walking distance of the mythologized infamous ark?

A serious public Heath crisis that exists between, or even within, the constituent United States created by differing opinions and mandates regarding face mask usage benefits.
Ok, the Governor from Georgia just 'undid' the Atlanta Mayor's Executive order requiring masks; in Alabama the Sheriff won't enforce the Governors mask ordinance...I wonder who's gonna win the Mask Wars?
