This goes beyond American exceptionalism . People have become mentally lazy. It’s easier to swallow digested tit bits, like an immature baby bird. It takes discipline, effort and energy to take tit bits, sift through it, weigh the evidence etc. We no longer live in a time when the ability to read was a gift only for those who could afford education. Maybe I am judging my fellow human being too harshly. Common sense and critical thinking has gone out of style . I am not the brightest bulb ( intelligence and IQ wise),and it takes effort to sift through the information on cv19 . But it is doable. It takes discipline and effort.

Yes, humility because we can’t just punch this virus in the mouth with drunken bravery after drinking a few beers, or kill it with a bullets . Evidence based medicine,not superstition, political science or eminence based medicine is going to safe us. It’s going to involve collaboration between many specialists, not just medical providers, but social workers, indoor quality specialists, to name a few. Clearly our public health agencies are in an extended picnic.A whole group of people are going to suffer the consequences of possible wrecked immune system, cognitive impairment, infertility. Aren’t we worried about the number of children who are and will be orphans?

This is madness. This is a great injustice, a worldwide injury and injustice.
