But also, how these measures are hardly ever taken, and if they are, not in the correct fashion. This has to date led us into a ton of preventable misery and death. If only we would listen. And there\u2019s still more we can do to prevent more mayhem, there is at every step of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It took me a while to get this together. But in the end I wound up with the only COVID19 analysis that makes sense. It doesn\u2019t leave much room for discussion, at least not in the steps needed to be taken in order to tame the virus (I despise the war analogies everyone uses, taming sounds much better). How to fill in those steps once they have -kind of- been taken is another matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve been reading up on this for a while, adding -much- more stuff as I went along (this will be a long essay), and at some point realized that the coronavirus is an issue you can\u2019t leave to epidemiologists and virologists, because there are far too many unknowns for them to create a working model, and without such a model they are lost. These fine people are not good at 10-dimensional chess, even if they like you to think otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Only Man Who Has A Clue Today, I\u2019m going to try to show you how and why we know that in the case of a pandemic like the one we\u2019re in, surrounded by doubts and uncertainties, there are still a series of measures that we can and, more importantly, must take.
