North America – Sunday, March 8, 2020 – Mike Pence and Donald Trump are Scaring Americans, Abandoning Cruise Vacationers, and Muddying Up the Waters in View of Covid 19 – “What Me Worry?!?” ~ Alfred E. Newman

The US Center of Disease Control will not tell us about the power and usefulness of prayer. Sometimes I count my lucky stars that my parents baptized me and I continue to practice Catholocism. My Mom used to say, “Be careful what you pray for.” Well, even if you may not be a believer, praying does not hurt. Being positive in the face of hazards is a bit of common sense.

People are not at high risk unless you come in contact with the virus. One major issue is that medical researchers do not know enough data about this virus. Recall that there are thousands of viruses that have been identified and Covid 19 is newly discovered and very puzzling. On the deep end of the knowledge spectrum, some leaders are making decisions based on ignorance and stupidity.

• The idea of cancelling events is wrong. This may be a Russian or Red Chinese idea but I find this talk unamerican.
• The fact that a cruise ship has not landed is dumb. The healthy people should get off and get away and the sick crew members should be able to access medical help.
• School leaders are running scared. A Stanford diploma may need an * with all these classes via Internet. Menlo School – with tuition the same price as Stanford’s – are closing their campus. Research shows that decisions made in a state of high stress, based on misinformation, and result from fear and other negative perspectives are most usually incorrect and just plain stupid.
• The economy will continue to take hits. I am beginning to feel sorry for all the 1% of Americans who received the Trump Tax Break. Given my standing in life, “What Me Worry?”

Businessmen and scientists know how to do cost-benefit analyses. This is a common sense strategy for making good decisions that ain’t observed being used this week.

We can blame the news bureaus or just take what they are reporting with a grain of salt. News… garbage in, garbage out for reporting. Perhaps we cannot blame them for what is reported. Nonetheless, the Trump Administration has CNN as a scapegoat.

You will not read about the efficacy/benefits of prayer in the CDC’s weekly Morbidity and Mortality Report, but it has real value… more than we can measure.
