I am not a 7th Day Advent or whomever those ppl are that don't believe in medicine? But at the same time, this thing FEELS like a lie. It feels like all the previous National and Global lies I'm convinced have been told in and around my lifetime. Things that FEEL like untruths. Not things I read in textbooks.
Keeping it simple, there has been a lack of concern about this disease. Now, in typical American fashion, we're hewing to the opposite extreme. Being over vigilant is better, but it's still not the right response. The NY Times has opened their Coronavirus coverage to everyone. Go here for a graphical tool that shows why doing things early and strenuously makes all the difference.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
