Boy with Covid-19(84) DID NOT Infect More then 170 People As Previously Claimed. Zero, was the number. ZERO!

Editor's Note
It has been a bad day today. We are all OK, it is just what I saw in my part of Montreal today was depressing. Here is a edited recap of what I wrote to a friend this afternoon. Early this morning I read an economic report from a friend who is very sharp at predicting future macro trends. He works for a major company, and he gave me a copy of what he did. He paints a depressing picture on what is coming down in the next few months, and what the situation will be like next year. And when I looked at the reasoning for his thinking, I could not disagree with any of it. Bottom line. No ... more »
Don't Count on the Coronavirus Going Away This Summer
*Stephen Silver* *Health, Americas* While the coronavirus has not yet gone through a summer, experts are skeptical that the weather will prove the solution to the pandemic. “Looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away,” President Trump said in February, in the very early days of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States. It’s April now, and needless to say, that hasn’t happened. But ever since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, there’s been one bit of optimism that’s been raised from time to time, that perhaps the COV... more »

How silly do Donald Trump's briefings get?
*TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 2020As triggered by OAN:* How silly do President Donald J. Trump's daily TV shows get? It's just another way of asking how silly our discourse is. The Q-and-A which ended last night's briefing helps us answer our question. Once again, the commander-in-chief fled to the welcoming arms of the ladies of the crackpot site, OAN. He then talked and talked and talked and talked, and then he ended the session. Yesterday, we noted the ridiculous question Trump received at Sunday's briefing from OAN's Jenn Pellegrino.

*"The Sane Society"* by Erich Fromm “The sick individual finds himself at home with all other similarly sick individuals. The whole culture is geared to this kind of pathology. The result is that the average individual does not experience the separateness and isolation the fully schizophrenic person feels. He feels at ease among those who suffer from the same deformation; in fact, it is the fully sane person who feels isolated in the insane society - and he may suffer so much from the incapacity to communicate that it is he who may become psychotic.

“The Demoralized Mind”
*“The Demoralized Mind”* by John F Schumaker “Our descent into the Age of Depression seems unstoppable. Three decades ago, the average age for the first onset of depression was 30. Today it is 14.

At this pace, over 50 per cent of our younger generation, aged 18-29, will succumb to it by middle age. Extrapolating one generation further, we arrive at the dire conclusion that virtually everyone will fall p... more »

"We cannot change anything unless we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses. I am the oppressor of the person I condemn, not his friend and fellow-sufferer… Perhaps this sounds very simple, but simple things are always the most difficult. In actual life, it requires the greatest art to be simple. And so acceptance of oneself is the essence of the moral problem and the acid test of one’s whole outlook on life. That I feed the beggar, that I forgive an insult, that I love my enemy- all these are undoubtedly great virtues. But what if I should discover that the least ... more »

World War II Unexploded Bombs Are Still Killing People

Trump’s EPA Weakens Justification For Life-Saving Mercury Pollution Rule
As many Americans fight for their lives in the midst of a respiratory pandemic, the Trump administration Thursday axed the justification for a mercury pollution rule that saves more than 10,000 lives and prevents as many as 130,000 asthma attacks each year. The new rollback leaves mercury emission standards in place for now, but changes how their benefits are calculated so that the economic cost takes precedence over public health gains, The New York Times reported.
