Iwata Kentaro, an infectious disease specialist, released a video with his criticisms of the ships quarantine.

TL:DR bureaucracy is getting in the way of proper containment. There were no green/red containment areas. Personnel not wearing proper gear.

The advice we were given in my veterinary entomology course was to tweeze as close as you could from the base and pull perpendicularly to the skin.

You shouldnt yank it, more along the lines of the force you'd use to open a zipper.

I used Credit karma it was pretty painless for a 1040. e-filed both state and federal and didn't cost a dime. Albeit I bet they hope to get revenue from credit card recommendations.
Golden ticket holder here as well, personally I don't mind, I check back into the game every 3 or so months, enjoy whats new, read the monthly pdf's and thats that. I understand that the game will take time, and am satisfied with my investment in the development

I'm not sure why people are making a kerfuffle over this, entomologist have used this before to great effect. Cochliomya hominivorax, the primary screwworm fly, was eradicated from the US using very similar methods. Due to this, we do not have to worry about miasis or maggot infestations.
