Let's talk about all the stuff in the news. So over in Italy, I saw a thread from, I guess it was a doctor in a hospital over in Italy, where they're being hit hard with the coronavirus. And apparently it's Night of the Living Dead, bodies piling up, whatever's the worst you could imagine, that's happening in the Italian hospitals right now because of the coronavirus. Meanwhile some as yet publicly unnamed individual was shaking hands at CPAC, including with all kinds of senators and politicians. And we have a president who's been shaking hands, and apparently he's still going to have his rallies. Here's my opinion as of around today. This is sort of a tipping point for me. I think it's irresponsible to have political rallies, because if you're looking at what's happening in the other countries, and you really ought to because it's not good. But if you look at Italy for example, they're in a world of hurt, and it's because the medical resources were overrun. Now there are people saying to me, "Scott, don't be so panicky because you know it just affects old people and you know most people are just gonna get a cold." Well yes, except that in Italy there's no healthcare services anymore. It's just for one purpose. Their entire healthcare system, at least the high-end stuff where you've got a hospital, it just doesn't exist anymore. So if you break your leg in three weeks, do you know what your healthcare plan is in the United States? Limp. If you break your leg in three weeks in the United States there's a good chance that your healthcare solution will be the limp, because it won't be healthcare. It might last for a couple months. Now that's the situation in Italy and that's the situation if we don't keep it under control. But will we keep it under control? It turns out that South Korea is actually getting a handle on theirs, and they're not doing extreme social distancing. They must be doing a lot of it but it's less extreme than some other places. So we do see some progress in South Korea. China allegedly is getting a handle on it but we don't know what that really means. Japan is doing better than Italy because they have way more, a lot more hospital resources. So Japan is not overrun yet. They're doing better but they're having some issues there. Apparently I'm hearing also from people in Japan. The social media is great because you could hear individuals telling you what their actual life is like. And there's one person in Japan who says that there's plenty of goods in the stores and people just immediately went into extreme social isolation and it seems to have worked. So here's what we know. We know that extreme social isolation is absolutely effective, and we know we're not doing it. And we know that the President of the United States is modeling not doing it, and the people he's competing against to be the next president are not doing it. I don't know how much longer we can put up with that. Do you? Because let's put it this way. You know on one level it's up to the president whether he has a rally. It's up to Biden. It's up to Bernie. It's not up to us, is it? No, it's up to us. It's not up to them. It's not up to them. Don't let it be up to them. We're sort of in this together, right? The president doesn't get to decide to have a rally and then there's a rally. We have to decide. All right, everybody has to decide or else there's no rally. If only one person decides there's a rally, then there's a rally of one person. So I'm not sure we should continue to allow, and "allow" is the right word because we can stop it. We can stop it today. I don't think we should allow our politicians to continue to do rallies, given that we know exactly what works: social isolation. And we know exactly what doesn't: continuing business as usual. It's not a mystery anymore. We know. And we know that if we don't get it early it's going to get us. So I think it's completely irresponsible. And I would go so far as to say if we have another week of rallies, you know maybe this week is sort of an edge case, but if next week we're still doing rallies, we don't have anybody running for president who's qualified to lead us, at least in this situation. Let me say that as directly as I can. If President Trump next week, you know this week again it's on the edge, but by next week if they're still doing rallies and things are still worsening in the coronavirus global situation, none of them, none of them are qualified to be president. Unfortunately that's my opinion.
