Many thoughts and principles underlie the visual drama that unfolds around us daily in the news.
One idea worth noting in this comedy is the founding fathers’ focus on the person’s innocence until proven guilty. This was embedded in our founding documents because of the tragedy of persons being found guilty without a thread of evidence and then sentenced to tragic ends.
Today, we are assumed guilty of carrying the feared corona and judged for not wearing a mask as if that saves the day and your sweet life. All are assumed guilty without a shred of evidence, unless of course you get tested and proven not guilty for the day, if of course the test result can be trusted 100 percent.
Another thought crosses my mind as we watch the political charades and shenanigans. James Carse says, “Society is not confounded by serious opposition, but by the lack of seriousness altogether.” Can we laugh at this comedy and move along to the more serious task of living life in the most noble and virtuous way?
As for science… Most of us hold out-dated theories and knowledge. So much has changed and expanded in this last century and especially in the last twenty or thirty years. Permaculture, biomimicry, neuroscience, epigenetics, oh my. Who can keep up with it all? The idea that germs cause sickness, the germ theory, is so in need of upgrading. This is a myth.
So much science proves otherwise or how do you explain why some get sick and some do not (when exposed). It is not just antibodies. Dig, dig deep, and please upgrade your own health rather than expecting everyone else to care for you. I have a hard enough time as it is.
You may say I’m a dreamer and I care not for others. I am a dreamer and I do care!!
How, now? Let’s ask ourselves what matters most in this one wild and precious life we get! For me, relationships are most near and dear. Living, loving, and thriving. Tragedy is everywhere and needs our most attentive care; but as we learn to touch what is most cherished, we find we are ourselves most cherished.

You sound like a good person, someone who would be a pleasure to know. However, I am uncertain as to what point(s) you are attempting to convey, as your writing style is quite difficult for me to understand. You raise multiple issues, but I am at a loss as to what you would conclude?
My suggestion to hopefully improve understanding would be to have someone you know to be both literate and a good communicator proofread your letters prior to providing them for print.
