"Stop Shooting Each Other!"

That’s what the Baltimore mayor is telling his residents. “We need those hospital beds for virus patients.” Like that’s going to solve the problem. Virus patients WILL overrun the number of hospital beds available in short order, anyway, So this is just a “bandaid on an open wound” and will not solve any problems in the long run. Politicians like to act like they are doing something “to solve the problem. When people rightly point out their “solution” isn’t anything near a solution they criticize the criticizer, saying he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. It’s as if he’s saying, “I’m a high and mighty office holder and nobody is smarter than me, so shut the hell up!” Under that way of thinking, that mayor might as well be saying, “Just shoot better so you kill your target and he/she will not require a hospital bed.” That’s about as smart. I’m getting a little tired of the news media obsessing on the Coronavirus. It’s almost as if there is no other news. Yes, people should stop shooting each other. Permanently. Not that that will solve anything except for those who get shot staying alive. It’s just not an answer to the Coronavirus probem. (CBS Baltimore)
