Almost like watching a car crash in slow motion. I feel for those of you who are responsible, caring members of society having to put up with the absolute garbage that comes from the "personal freedoms" crowd. Living in a civilised society has plenty of benefits. Most know about these but it also comes with responsibilities as well. These responsibilities seem conveniently forgotten at the moment.<br />Good luck with it.

"Dr. Birx I understand less, but one should not underestimate the power of mental pathology; even the soundest minds give in to the most bizarre delusions under its pressure. This is how untreated, severe pathology from the top spreads and exhausts you, which is why in psychiatric settings the treatment is removal: we hospitalize the patient so the family can improve."<br /><br />Trump doesn't wear a mask simply because he thinks it will make him look weak. He continues to minimize the risk of the virus just as Bolsonaro of Brazil is doing and now Brazil is rivaling the U.S.in case numbers.<br /><br />From this article. https://www.salon.com/2020/04/08/yale-psychiatrist-bandy-lee-trumps-deadly-briefings-display-anti-human-psychology/Jim and Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13982110996137470496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-31720430549691831712020-05-25T07:03:41.155-06:002020-05-25T07:03:41.155-06:00Just hours after this post went up...a mask articl...Just hours after this post went up...a mask article from CNN:<br />(CNN) White House coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx said Sunday that there is "clear scientific evidence" that masks work -- adding that she assumes President Donald Trump is able to keep six feet of distance "in a majority of cases" when pressed on whether he should wear one.<br />https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/24/politics/deborah-birx-donald-trump-masks-social-distancing/index.html <br /><br />"What we have said to people is there is clear scientific evidence now, by all the droplet experiments that happened, and that others have done, to show that a mask does prevent droplets from reaching others," Birx said on "Fox News Sunday" when asked what she would tell people who say they have a right not to wear a mask in public.<br />"Out of respect for each other, as Americans that care for each other, we need to be wearing masks in public when we cannot social distance," she said.<br />Box Canyon Blog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032055509766739436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-92646859145754782020-05-24T22:39:11.286-06:002020-05-24T22:39:11.286-06:00In many respects we are very much where we were in...In many respects we are very much where we were in the 1920's business rules our government which is run by Republicans.

He called it a hoax,he delayed, he denied, he hampered the response by governors, he encouraged the re-open protest which contradicted his own administrations guidelines. He failed in every way that most of us could imagine and now 10s of thousands have died in the country because of it.<br /><br />On March 16, South Korea had 8300 cases and the U.S. had 4500. Today we have almost 1,700,000 and South Korea has just over 11,000. Granted SK has only 51 million people but the difference in cases is far greater than 7 times, in fact, it is great than a 100 times the number. His willful negligence is criminal. There is a name for what Trump is doing, democide (the murder of any person or people by their government, including genocide, politicide, and mass murder).<br /><br />JimJim and Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13982110996137470496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-16184394122570588842020-05-24T15:00:50.752-06:002020-05-24T15:00:50.752-06:00You said it so well.
