The news is horrible. People are sickening and dying. Families are being torn apart. The United States has become the sick man of the world, far more pitied than envied.
And the massacre could have been prevented if everyone simply had worn a mask.
But, proof it’s an ill wind that blows nobody good, and if there is one pitiful spark of good news, the human gene pool will improve, slightly.

One can forgive youth for its ignorance. Youth, after all, is taught to learn from elders. It is the way of the human species.
And especially, youth learns from titled elders — professors, doctors, team leaders, Senators, Presidents.
But what if a titled elder is ignorant or intentionally misleading, and if following his advice is a path to disaster or death. Whom shall we blame? The youth or the leader?
“We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”
“China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!”
“I want to emphasize that the risk to the American public currently is low.”
“We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”
“Looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away. I hope that’s true. But we’re doing great in our country.”
“In our country, we only have, basically, 12 cases and most of those people are recovering and some cases fully recovered. So it’s actually less.”
“Looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away.”
“The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”
“When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.”
“Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus. … And this is their new hoax.”
“Gallup just gave us the highest rating ever for the way we are handling the CoronaVirus situation. The April 2009-10 Swine Flu, where nearly 13,000 people died in the U.S., was poorly handled.”
“Anybody that wants a test can get a test. That’s what the bottom line is.”
“This was unexpected. … And it hit the world. And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.”
“The vast majority of Americans, the risk is very, very low.”
“America will again, and soon, be open for business — very soon — a lot sooner than three or four months that somebody was suggesting. A lot sooner. We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself. We’re not going to let the cure be worse than the problem.”
“Nobody would ever believe a thing like that’s possible. Nobody could have ever seen something like this coming, but now we know, and we know it can happen and happen again.”

“It’s (wearing a mask) going to be, really, a voluntary thing. You can do it. You don’t have to do it. I’m choosing not to do it, but some people may want to do it, and that’s OK. It may be good. Probably will. They’re making a recommendation. It’s only a recommendation.”
“The cases really didn’t build up for a while. But you have to understand, I’m a cheerleader for this country. I don’t want to create havoc and shock and everything else, but ultimately, when I was saying that, I’m also closing it down. I obviously was concerned about it because I closed down our country to China.”
“I’m going to put it very simply: The president of the United States (not the governors) has the authority to do what the president has the authority to do, which is very powerful. The president of the United States calls the shots.”
“Today I am instructing my administration to halt funding of the World Health Organization while a review is conducted to assess [its] role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the coronavirus.”
“We think some of the states can actually open up before the deadline of May 1. And I think that that will be a very exciting time indeed.”
“It’s going to be up to the governors. We’re going to work with them, we’re going to help them, but it’s going to be up to the governors. … I think you’re going to see quite a few states starting to open. And I call it a beautiful puzzle. You have 50 pieces, all very different, but when it’s all done, it’s a mosaic. When it’s all done, it’s going to be, I think, a very beautiful picture.”
“LIBERATE MICHIGAN!” “LIBERATE MINNESOTA” “LIBERATE VIRGINIA and save your great 2nd Amendment. It is under siege.”
So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether its ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said, that hasn’t been checked but you’re gonna test it. And then I said, supposing it brought the light inside the body, which you can either do either through the skin or some other way, and I think you said you’re gonna test that too, sounds interesting. And I then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute, and is there a way you can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it’d be interesting to check that. So you’re going to have to use medical doctors, but it sounds interesting to me, so we’ll see. But the whole concept of the light, the way it goes in one minute, that’s pretty powerful.”
“It will go away. It’s gonna go away. It will just go away, without a vaccine.”
“Why don’t we let this wash over the country?”
“You know testing is a double-edged sword. … Here’s the bad part. When you test to that extent, you are going to find more people, find more cases. So I said to my people, ‘Slow the testing down please.‘”
“If you don’t test, you don’t have any cases.”

Monetary Sovereignty Twitter: @rodgermitchell Search #monetarysovereignty Facebook: Rodger Malcolm Mitchell …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
THE SOLE PURPOSE OF GOVERNMENT IS TO IMPROVE AND PROTECT THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE.
The most important problems in economics involve:
- Monetary Sovereignty describes money creation and destruction.
- Gap Psychology describes the common desire to distance oneself from those “below” in any socio-economic ranking, and to come nearer those “above.” The socio-economic distance is referred to as “The Gap.”
Wide Gaps negatively affect poverty, health and longevity, education, housing, law and crime, war, leadership, ownership, bigotry, supply and demand, taxation, GDP, international relations, scientific advancement, the environment, human motivation and well-being, and virtually every other issue in economics. Implementation of Monetary Sovereignty and The Ten Steps To Prosperity can grow the economy and narrow the Gaps:
Ten Steps To Prosperity:
2. Federally funded Medicare — parts A, B & D, plus long-term care — for everyone
3. Social Security for all or a reverse income tax
4. Free education (including post-grad) for everyone
5. Salary for attending school
6. Eliminate federal taxes on business
7. Increase the standard income tax deduction, annually.
8. Tax the very rich (the “.1%”) more, with higher progressive tax rates on all forms of income.
9. Federal ownership of all banks
10.Increase federal spending on the myriad initiatives that benefit America’s 99.9%
The Ten Steps will grow the economy and narrow the income/wealth/power Gap between the rich and the rest.
MONETARY SOVEREIGNTY
Make America Great, Again??
When Europe reopens its borders to tourists on July 1, visitors from three backward, high-infection countries will reportedly not be welcome: Russia, Brazil, and the U.S.
This is how far our country has fallen.
We have by far the most coronavirus cases in the world, with 2.4 million confirmed infections and more than 120,000 deaths (a quarter of the global total), and may surpass 200,000 deaths by summer’s end.
Worst of all, a white flag of surrender has been raised in the White House and in many state capitols: If we can’t beat this virus, let’s pretend it’s gone.
So people began returning too soon to indoor restaurants, bars, and stores, without masks or distancing, and new hot spots of infection were ignited. Texas has record numbers of new cases and hospitalizations, and there are also alarming spikes in Florida, Arizona, South Carolina, and California.
Many of the newly infected are people in their 20s and 30s, who are less likely to die. But they have parents, grandparents, teachers, and bosses.
As Dr. Ashish Jha, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute, told Politico: “Just because it starts with young people, doesn’t mean it will stay with young people.”

Some public health officials are resigning amid threats during the Covid-19 pandemic
By Cheri Mossburg, Theresa Waldrop and Naomi Thomas, CNN
June 23, 2020
During a live public briefing on Facebook last month, “someone very casually suggested” the Los Angeles County’s public health director should be shot, the director said.
Across the US, many people have taken issue with guidance from health officials — as the act of wearing a mask to protect others during a pandemic has become a political and cultural flashpoint.
The backlash has taken its toll: At least 24 public health officials have either resigned, retired or been fired from the positions during the Covid-19 pandemic, the National Association of City and County Health Officials (NACCHO) said Monday.
“What has typically been just pure public health advice coming from a trusted source in the community, the local health department, is being politicized and made to seem like the public health advice is something that is restricting people’s rights, their freedoms to move about,” Lori Freeman, CEO of NACCHO, told CNN.

To a large extent I put the blame on our educational system. We teach kids to be specialists to go out in the world, get a job and support themselves. Don’t worry about the other guy; just mind your own business. So when the time comes to have to suddenly wise up to a crisis, we don’t see the whole picture, just MY wallet and my Survival.
If income was automatic, like your heartbeat or any other number of necessary-to-life functions, people could work for the love of the work and only at those jobs that are essential. Everyone else can go on vacation or to school, or just stay home and get the hell out of everyone’s way if you’re incompetent, sick or unmotivated. The very many healthy and learned can easily run the show, especially with automation’s assistance.
MS could make all the above affordable. The rich could still be rich. The poor and unmotivated could move up and join the middle. Everyone would benefit w/o negative consequences. What’s wrong with a primarily two-class system consisting of the 1% rich and the 99% consuming, all-supporting, all for-giving workers? The rich can keep their precious status while the whole moves on to success. Crime would drop dramatically and the stock market would, for the first time, enjoy greater predictability w/o disturbing downturns.

Sort of Star Trekian type of world, where all needs are supplied by computers, except the 1% and the 99% are not divided by money (which is obsolete) but rather by skills? Not bad.
