Many foolish statements on presser and newsfeed re Covid 19

It is more fun criticizing

One of the important lessons this post learned in Post Graduate course and in teaching graduate courses is the train everyone in logical and critical thinking.

Thus it pains me that certain statements border on lack of thinking and  outright stupidity.  Even decisions that are being made.

1.  We are winning the war vs Covid 19.  Whoaa it is not going down, It is not zero.   While the deaths are declining the number of infections arent.  What;s wrong with our data analysis and that numbers tell a story.   It sometimes tantamount fooling people if not outright insult to intelligence of many. 

2.  We can resume classes masses, or mall operation, or resto.   But these places events are superspreader.  The change in CQ classification ran against the stats.   Furthermore, the history of Covid19 spread shows that they take place in crowded space, where there close personal contact and closed spaces.  And we tempting the virus by doing all of these.   Contrary to science and  logic

3.  Fighting covid with guns, and armored personnel carrier and strict military rule.    As if the enemy virus are visible soldiers of war, and  germs. 

The disinfectant the street spray would seem to indicate that roads are reservoir of the virus.  Covid is spread via drop infection.    That means being infected by aerosol droplets generated by shouting talking, laughing  aside from coughing and sneezing.   Many advertise the misting solutions as antiviral.  We know this to be untrue.    Hence we unwittingly killled a doctor with disinfectant mist.
