I remember a statement in one of the Star Wars Movies, the one where the Sith Emperor got power.
The phrase, as I remember it, is 'I always wondered how freedom would end, I see it is with thunderous applause'!
I understand Bob's concerns, and others, but I also try to put things in perspective. I have a strong background in medicene, a super strong background in Science, a very long background in engineering and "Government Project Management" so I know the "drill".
I will not pontificate on the subject, but I will tell you that the truth when Government speaks is almost always somewhere in the middle.
I fear that my understanding of the problem is better then what is being reported. I have told my wife, who is not at all interested in my graphs, sketches, diagrams and predictions. She nevertheless is now convinced that I am right, and we are being mislead, on both extremes.
To make it clear, I do not have inside information, do not have contacts, only many years of history inside the swamp.
My suggestions are as a president I respected once said, "Trust, but verify". Check your facts, then check the fact check sources, then check the fact check sources that you used to check the fact check sources. All lie, or mislead, as necessary to support their side of the story.
Let's just not let ourselves repeat the "ficticous" phrase from the Star Wars Movie.
Be safe, but don't be stupid my friends.
