l that are the beginning of softening us up for the ultimate dictator move where all of our rights and freedoms are taken away from us. I'm finding no sympathy for that opinion because first of all I don't think it's happening. I just think we're doing what we need to for the emergency and when it's over we'll get rid of the things. So there's some sense that any kind of surveillance or tracking or lack of privacy would just automatically become permanent even after we solved the problem for which they had been implemented. I don't think so. I don't know. Of all the things I'm going to worry about this year it doesn't make my top hundred. Now maybe I'm missing something but to me it looks like the United States is really good at tweaking things when they need to and then untweaking it when they're done. No, I think that you would have to have a different mindset in your public for that to be a big risk.

I said this before but I'll say it again, which is the great asset that Americans have is the American idea. You know, the idea of what is right and fair. The brainwashing that we all got as kids to be patriotic. And I say brainwashing but not in a negative way because to have a coherent society you have to brainwash people to be on the same page culturally, religiously in some cases, but at least in terms of the Constitution and the law. So you need some brainwashing. The United States does it really well. It's created a society, a very independent, you know, we will resist at the drop of a hat. So there's something about the American mind that I think really makes the whole dictatorship thing seem ridiculous. But you would have to see our minds change a whole lot before you would see me getting worried. But as long as our minds are good then what we're doing with the details is not the beginning of the dictator state. It's just what we need to do to solve a problem right now. That's what I say.

I asked this question about whether the deaths are being correctly characterized and added to the right categories for the coronavirus deaths especially. And I got two feedbacks from ER doctors. All right, so I asked, is there an ER doctor who can confirm the following belief? So this is my belief. My belief without being an ER doctor is that they probably are quite good at accurately identifying the real cause of death. I'll give you my simple example, which is if somebody had diabetes for fifteen years and they come in and they die within a day of respiratory problems and you know the classic red eyes of the coronavirus patient and every sign of coronavirus, that it probably wasn't the diabetes that they've had for fifteen years. Like it could be but it'd just be this weird coincidence that that was the day you died. So that's my simplified story.

But as one ER doctor explained to me, the doctors do actually look at the patient's history, what's happened recently, the entire constellation of factors, and then they decide what the cause of death is. There's a whole process for doing it. And at least for this one ER doctor it was his opinion that there are categories that they're categorizing. There's probably ninety-five percent correct. All right, so that's one opinion. That's somebody who has signed a lot of death certificates. So this is coming from somebody who has personally signed hundreds of death certificates from the ER. And he says in his opinion that they're probably ninety-five percent correct b
