Now, a tremendously lousy leader would deny their expert advisors and decide they are not as smart as the all-wise-all-knowing leader; and it certainly makes the leader look very… sort of… ‘leadery’ doesn’t it. Okay then; the leader knows better in everything.
As I write it’s 30 June 2020 and this virus is getting quite worse in some places here in North America. It is 100+ days later and we don’t have it fully contained; this is too big of a mistake!
I am an AME and I deal in the maintenance of aircraft. We get diseases on our aircraft too; corrosion for example – and let’s not forget Cladosporium Resinae! But I digress. If we had an issue with an aircraft’s system, and we had to troubleshoot to fix it, we wouldn’t continually repeat the same process over in order to find the fault; you gotta change it up a bit until you get the right fit!
It is now self evident to be true that I know two things about the medical/biological world; one is nothing and the other is naff all. But let me tell you what I figured out; if you wear a mask it will slow down the virus, which will help us all eventually break free again. I know this and I’m a self declared dumb-ass of ‘medicsy’ stuff!
It’s bad enough a leader would be in contempt of their expert advisors. But surely when this dumb-ass has listened to the same advisors and come up with the same conclusion as they have; it would beg the same question time and time again.
And so, I ask this question to any world leader who has managed to read down this far; wouldn’t it just piss you off, if you are/were a leader, to discover that even the dumb-ass people below you have all got this figured out and you don’t? You, leader, are somewhat non compos mentis when it comes down to two very important things; one is COVID and the other is common sense. Mask-up, wash-up, keep your social distance when out, and if you don’t need to go out please stay home.
We’ve already had one coup de main when COVID-19 struck the world. Let’s have another global coup de main by having everybody wear a mask; at least!
