Science: Angela Merkel Explains Coronavirus Risk

While Europe has also been decimated by neoliberalism, much of it courtesy of German financial autocracy, Germany remains a nation of science.  And, Merkel herself is actually a scientist and apparently a brilliant one at that. In her daily update to German citizens, she explains the math of social distancing and how easily a relaxing of vigilance can create a massive economic and social crisis.  We don’t see anyone in Washington producing this type of content for explanation to American citizens.  Instead, we have a daily circus conducted by P.T. Barnum himself.  If we did have this type of scientific leadership, maybe citizens would more clearly understand the reasoning behind decisions rather than participating in countless conspiracy theories. But, to produce this type of conversation, we actually have to be able to produce accurate data. It appears testing rates have collapsed in our nation and, thus, once again, we actually have no data-driven science to make any credible claims or any actionable decisions.
