The whip-smart John Carroll wrote this afternoon (only partially humorously) that the "non-clinical, uncontrolled trial" -- is now underway(!) in Tulsa. He also quite soberly said it would be completely. . . unethical, if ever proposed by the NIH or CDC. . . or any University-affiliated hospital.
But that doesn't mean we should not learn from it. These poorly informed people have literally risked their lives, to sit for eight hours minimum, inside a forced air arena, with at least 10,000 of them, packed in -- after we all have learned that at least six of Trump's own team tested positive for COVID-19. How many more inside are positive, without symptoms? How many more will fall ill in the coming weeks?
During his lackluster rally, Trump openly bragged that he told administration officials to slow down the testing, so that the number of positives would not spike. That, is an on tape admission of. . . a form of biological warfare, against his own fellow Americans. [As was this "Klan-demic" of his -- in Tulsa.]
John Carroll's more serious message should be heeded. We should study this event, and the spike in Tulsa (should it appear in 14 to 21 days), so that future generations don't make the same mistake Philadelphia made, in the Spanish Flu of 1918 (compare Seattle of 1919 to Philadelphia in this regard).
I am out of ideas. I suppose that I offer this laughing graphic, derived from a Twitter user, to keep from crying -- as our fellow Americans, including the one at 1600 Pennsylvania. . . are simply too stupid for words. Out.
