Knowing and using Morse for many years let me kindly suggest that is impossible to blink Morse without it being obvious. First, the code consists of two elements, dit and dah, where the dah is three times longer. To make intelligible Morse a person would have to do a combination of short and long blinks, which would be very unnatural and noticeable. Also, normal blinking is a reflex whereas to do conscious blinking to spell out Morse characters it would be very difficult to keep the facial muscles immobile.
Frightened people often have very rapid blink rates. Dr Birx is intelligent enough to know that Trump is on to the BS and I would imagine she fears exposure and loss of reputation/freedom.
Thanks for the elucidation, very explicit and clear that Birx is not blinking Morse code.
I said,
“Birx has been caught more than once during these conferences blinking her eyes in a way that looks like she is sending Morse code”
“Looks like” is the key phrase. I didn’t say she absolutely was now did I? I don’t know what’s she’s doing but I’m not the only one that has noticed it and it is noticeable. When she’s standing up there babbling she’s not doing it. When she’s standing over to the side she’s generally not doing it. But every now and then she’s been caught blinking her eyes WEIRDLY.
Have you watched her blinking episodes and compared it to the rest of the time when she’s generally not blinking bizarrely?
“it would be very difficult to keep the facial muscles immobile.”
It’s been done successfully before.
