COVID-19: Stupidity, Incompetence, Dishonesty, Evasion

Posted on May 1, 2020July 15, 2020 by Carl Barney

Let me start with three honest, competent, and smart experts—true experts. Dr. Peter Attia, a physician who specializes in the study of longevity, wrote on April 20, “The good news is that [COVID-19] doesn’t look nearly as catastrophic as it seemed in mid-March. . . . The numbers of new cases and new deaths seem…

The COVID-19 Catastrophe Is the Result of Monumental Mismanagement.

Posted on April 23, 2020July 15, 2020 by Carl Barney

The first act of management is planning. No planning? There can be no management. Planning is thinking, identifying facts, and projecting courses of action. There was little credible, thoughtful planning for the management of COVID-19. Instead, we got reactiveness and political posturing, just as we did in the November elections. Above all, planning requires reliable,…

Magnificent Painting

Posted on April 3, 2020May 14, 2020 by Carl Barney

Today I hung and lit a magnificent new painting by Bryan Larsen. The painting is especially spectacular under its nightlights. These lights bring it alive and show the diffusion of the light from Prometheus’s torch, which spreads left to the muses until the last two are more subdued. It is an intriguing painting. What is…

I was delighted to host Richard Salsman and his wife, Lisa, at my home last weekend. Richard is a professor of the Politics, Philosophy, and Economics Department at Duke University. We had lovely meals together, and one evening we were joined by Alex Epstein. I’m happy to announce that Prometheus Foundation will be sponsoring an…

COVID-19 Symptoms

Posted on March 24, 2020July 15, 2020 by Carl Barney

The attached table (from the Australian Government Department of Health) compares the symptoms of COVID-19 against those of the cold and the flu; it may be helpful to you. There are more differences between a cold and COVID-19 than there are between COVID-19 and the flu. The flu and COVID-19 share very similar symptoms and…

COVID-19: Damage, Destruction, Depression, and Disaster

Posted on March 24, 2020July 15, 2020 by Carl Barney

No, I have not joined the mad media mob that is prophesying the end of the world. I am only evaluating the grossly irresponsible and irrational edicts of politicians such as Governor Newsom in California, President Trump, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer.. They are shutting down the motor of the world. Governments are causing untold…

COVID-19 Update: Keep Calm and Carry On

Posted on March 23, 2020July 15, 2020 by Carl Barney

This message brought some comfort to the English during the height of World War II as England was being bombed by the Nazis every day and night. The Queen, hereby, is granting America the rights to use this message to help Americans deal with the virus. May it bring us, too, some small measure of comfort…

COVID-19 and Other Viruses

Posted on March 20, 2020July 15, 2020 by Carl Barney

Information viruses—i.e., misinformation, false information, and incomplete information—are being spread far and wide. See, for instance, the Wall Street Journal article, Infodemic: When Unreliable Information Spreads Far and Wide by Ben Zimmer. The World Health Organization (WHO) warned of: “A massive ‘infodemic’, an overabundance of information—some accurate and some not—that makes it hard for people…

Coronavirus: Mad Media, Medical Misinformation, Posturing Politicians, and a Panicking Public

Posted on March 18, 2020July 15, 2020 by Carl Barney

Run for your life! The virus is coming! The end is nigh! Religious nuts carrying placards proclaiming that the world is going to end were, until recently, laughed at. Now, medical “experts,” politicians, and the media are making such claims. The mad media with their exaggerations and fear-mongering are to be expected. But mad medical…

Coronavirus

Posted on March 5, 2020July 15, 2020 by Carl Barney

Has the world gone mad? I think so, and I believe it’s going to get worse. Our health system is now actively looking for the Coronavirus in America. I think they will find it, and they could find lots of it. It’s reported that about 80% do not even know they have the virus; they…
