Fear and Ignorance on Full Display

I like Candace Owens but she should stay in her lane. Math and medical projections are not her strong suit. Her tweet outlining her errors has been deleted. But this illustrates a good point: too many people are making false statements concerning this pandemic. Fear and ignorance do not seem to be in short supply as everyone has an opinion (most with no scientific background) concerning the facts as they see it.

Which brings me to the point of this post. I give great leniency to comments on this site and rarely censor or delete comments or people. As I have said before, I do have the background to understand this corona virus and make statements based on calculations, facts or projections based on current numbers of infected. I have also said that the overwhelming majority of people will survive. But fear and ignorance have consequences and I will no longer approve comments without scientific facts, supporting data for conclusions or personal attacks.

As I also have said before, if we had public virtue, we would have already self-quarantined the country and been on our way to the virus’s eventual burn out. It is strange that the government which states we have the best medical system in the world cannot even test people.

In order for us to become stronger, we must learn from our mistakes. Instead, we fight among ourselves. Imagine fighting a civil war to restore the honor of our country’s core principles based on our actions today?
