The "Experts"

 

Words sometimes change meaning over time.

"Barbarian" comes from Ancient Greece, a work used to merely describe someone who did not speak Greek.  A conversation would go something like, "I could not understand what he was saying.  All I could hear was 'bar bar bar' ", hence the word "barbarian."  It was not even negative, such a little chauvinistic

The word "tyrant" was merely someone who came to power in a non-traditional manner, not even in a bad way.  Cincinattus and .Solon were tyrants put in charge to fix things and they left when the task was complete.  The problem was that most people cannot let go of such power and the word acquired the negative meaning it has today.

Welcome to the word "expert".  It is supposed to mean a person with a lot of knowledge on a subject.  After our disaster of an election and bigger disaster of a COVID response, the "experts" have been proven wrong time and time again.

Hizzoner DeBlasio shut the schools down in New York to keep the virus from spreading despite the fact that child do not easier catch COVID and then opened the schools when parents complained. "Experts" on both sides of the issue weighted in,  

 So who was right?

The "experts" warn of the leathalalithy of COVID, but the same "experts" state there is a 99.8% of surviving it. The "experts" say masks keep it from spreading, but if everyone is wearing a mask, why do the number of cases rise? 

  I have not worn a mask at all and I am not sick.

And what is this about curfews?  The "experts" advise them.  Does the virus not come at until 10pm?  Then it much be safe before then, so why a mask?

Like tyrant and barbarian, the word "expert"will change meaning. 

Probably to "moron".

Last COVID post....I mean it! :-)

You know what to do!
