This paper will argue that the government’s health policies not only failed to help the sick but in fact harmed the poor while at the same time these policies did little harm to the wealthy and in some ways gave privileges to them.

TO FIND THE WAY BY WHICH THE INVENTIVENESS OF MAN SHALL BE CONSECRATED TO HIS LIFE
Most of what you know is simply the opinions of others.
Some of what you know is an attitude born of propaganda.
Think critically.
I've seen you do that before.
Remove your desire to be right from the equation.
Don't induce. Deduce.
Subtract low-level mistakes from high-level motives.
Look at deeds not words in order to fully understand the long term goals of those involved.
Coronavirus Pandemic Panic and Shrinking Civil Liberties & Privacy Rights
Submitted by wendy davis on Sun, 03/22/2020 - 11:09amIn my last post, I’d asked:
‘Will citizens have any civil rights in the end? Will the most draconian laws and protocols sunset eventually, or be covertly extended for other purposes? Israel, for instance, is using counter-terrorism protocols cell phone data to monitor the movements of citizens who’ve tested positive for the virus.’
Many citizen civil and privacy rights are being ceded voluntarily; many are being trampled on far more covertly.

Viral Evolution
While it is true viruses are sometimes misread by the host and mutate (like a cold virus for example), this week I want to speculate how the SARS-CoV-2 will and is causing societal evolution. Viruses have always been agents of evolution as they attach and pull away from our DNA and RNA, but this global pandemic is going to fundamentally change societies and the way we interact...especially in the short term. If and when a vaccine is developed, some sense of normality should be re-established, but societies will never be the same...like 9/11 and the 2008 crash. So get out your crystal ball and let's think about what's coming around the bend.
