While the nations of the world are coping with the pandemic COVID-19, the widespread debate about the origin and reasons for the spread of the virus continue. Unfortunately, the predictions, motivations, fears, and preoccupations of individuals, and the models used for explanation, fall short of what would be desirable. Noticeably, three factors are evident. One is the lack of accuracy of information. Dr. Anthony Fauci has expressed doubts about the low level of COVID-19 cases and deaths reported by China, even after it “revised” and increased its death toll numbers by 50 per cent.

Medically, there are differences over issues such as the hope that hydroxychloroquine will be a game changer in providing treatment of COVID-19. Economically, the U.S. and the rest of the world have the dilemma of restarting the economy and getting people back to work as quickly as possible in the face of the biggest economic disaster since the Depression of the 1930s, and the warning of the IMF that global output per head will contract by 4.2 per cent this year, that public debt will increase substantially, and that almost all countries will experience negative growth in real domestic product per head.

Some were downright sickening, especially when they appeared with average people who doing their jobs, which highlighted how awful the celebrities are really.
Cosy mysteries, that is
