Sound Science

Hello Darwin my old friend It seems we are crackpots again As knowledge has become forbidden fruit Applying logic is now completely moot With Edward Jenner turning in his grave Can’t save the saved With the sound of science With ICUs packed to the door And health officials asking for Everyone to just wear a mask Apparently a most invasive task To protect your neighbours from this disease They’re on their knees With the sound of science Now you may call me heretic For being so scientific But I have faith in my fellow man That beating this disease we can By trusting experts who know their stuff Would be enough To hear the sound of science

It is completely weird that you think a learned scientist would know more than people who wear red hats and have a new ignorant maniacal god. But I enjoyed it for I am of a like mind.

Maureen, I agree with you, some people do not take Covid 19 serious until it takes someone they love, do they think the statistics are made up for amusement, well done, Merry Christmas _Constance

Too bad Trump can't read! I saw on the BBC News a young lady sobbing her heart out, "I just want to get home for Christmas" in a long queue with most not wearing a face mask nor keeping a safe distance, another example of so many people rushing to take home COVID-19! The sound of science goes in one ear and out the other! Thanks for trying! Aloha! Rico

Apparently sticking a finger in one ear helps with that... Merry Christmas my dear! xomo

Hi Maureen, I agree folk should take Covid more seriously. Folks are dying, and the hospitals don't have any room. Is it too much for folk to put on a darn mask? Scientist know their stuff about this pandemic; we should allow them to do their job. Excellent write, so apt for this difficult times. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to your family and friends.Have a great day:-) Alexis

Thanks for sounding the need for people to take the virus more seriously and wear a mask. It's time to speak more loudly, not be silent about the killer, covid. Thanks for posting this, Mo.
