Coming Clean

IF EVERY AMERICAN would wear a face mask away from home, the epidemic would be under control within two months, and would eventually disappear, according to the experts. Ans yea, despite the American right wing rejection of science and all thigns intelligent, experts are experts. Several months ago they said otherwise. Several months ago the experts said that wearing a mask was not all that  helpful. that'a the wonderful side of science, what makes it intelligent, and correct: its willingness, indeed its sacred self imposed duty to change and correct itself with new information and research. That is perhaps why the religious right so despises, or seems to despise science, especially when it contradicts their religious beliefs. the religiously dogmatic prefer instant truth, instant perfection without question, preferably from a collection of ancient manuscripts written by people who knew little about science. Its so much easier thtat way, for the intellectually lazy mind to carry around the absolute truth in a book, rather than having to take the trouble to go searching for it, which requires actual effort. Donald trump gets most of his support to the lazy dogmatic religious, and he msut cater to them. It would be so easy for him to simply instruct everyone to wear a mask at all times away from home, but he won't do it, because then he would have to wear one, and the instruction would upset his poorly educated base of support. First Trump called the virus a hoax. then he suggested drinking bleach and eating Lysol. Then he suggested taking the irrelevant drug hydroxycholroquine. Then he said it would go away with the coming of warm weather. Trump, poorly educated about science, fundamentally corrupt and dishonest, is no more amenable to logic and truth than his millions of dogmatic, religious, irrational supporters. Because of his lack of leadership, his followers are having "Covid 19" parties, deliberately defying common sense, spreading disease and death. And they are refusing to wear face masks, for the phony, insane reason that they think their freedoms and liberties are being threatened. Trump and his criminally irrational supporters are causing a needless American catastrophe.
