A huge one, So were some of the things Churchill said to encourage his
people in the dark days. For some reason they think now we should just
feed the panic.
I have pretty much stopped arguing about C-19 and I only glance at the
news. Obsessing on this is more dangerous than the disease. At a
certain point there is only so much we can do and worrying about it
further is futile.
Wash your hands and don't hug strangers. Beyond that we are waiting
for science to come up with a solution.
I hear you Greg but would like to make a point. Science isn't the

Sitting here watching the task force briefing and it occurred to
me that the two docs, being academics and scientists, are talking
over the heads of a large part of the US population. They keep
repeating that the solution is "mitigation" and how some cities
began "mitigating" early. I'll betcha a good portion of the
public has no clue what they are talking about. Worse ... it
sounds like something the government or someone *else* is doing
and not something *they* need to do.
They need to explain what mitigation means in simple, basic terms.
