We don’t need to fight for something we already have, we just need to hold it up

If people are asked to do something, but they do not know WHY they are doing it, then they will just be going through the motions.

This is our situation in Ontario. People are mostly kind, especially here in Kingston. They say Canadians are polite. Let me introduce you to Kingstonians. Not every single one, but by and large they embody that Canadian spirit. And they have a civic-minded spirit, a concern for their fellow citizens, to protect one another. So they follow directions. They have every reason to question “why?” because things don’t always make sense. Make it make sense. There are reasons, and I know our local public health officials are doing a good job, because they know.

When you tell a child not to do something, it is good parenting to tell them WHY. If you just say, “do it because I tell you” that is not very good parenting. It could be really bad parenting, actually, because the child may rebel with a sense of unfairness, with just cause. If you explain WHY we don’t do something, or need to do something, and they understand the motivation, it becomes THEIR motivation.

This is not open for debate any more than climate change, the fact that anyone is denying it is clearly for political reasons. Those who say they “believe science” and “Trust experts” cannot look away from the mountain of evidence, and the passionate people who study epidemiology, fluid dynamics, infectious disease, and say “oh but this one over here says something different” which they want to hear. That is called confirmation bias, and it needs to be EXTREMELY strong if you are willing to ignore the life and death call to action by medical science around the globe.

We don’t need to fight. Our national public health agencies ALREADY SAY THIS. They are starting to emphasize it. The way Germany suddenly started to in JULY The way Japan did from the beginning (with the famous “3 C’s”). In Spain, school children are wearing winter coats in class because one of the most effective and least costly ways to fight COVID is to open the windows and circulate fresh air from outside, even in the winter. Another way is to measure CO2, and to ensure that there is the right humidity, that the air doesn’t become too dry, where viral particles suspended in our common exhalations can float longer.

I believe with the magnitude of the pandemic in the USA, the new administration has no choice but to go all the way with trusting science, and it is not some fringe opinion, it is by far the majority and not just the majority of
