Found this on Wiki, pretty much what Uncle Ken said:
"In philosophy, a razor is a principle or rule of thumb that allows one to eliminate ("shave off") unlikely explanations for a phenomenon, or avoid unnecessary actions.[1] "
The more I think about it, Occam knew what he was talking about, the simplest solution is often the best solution. All we've got to do is elect a bunch of Democrats this November and the corona virus will be extinct by Christmas. We might lose our guns, but we won't need them anymore because the criminals will suddenly rehabilitate themselves and the deer will commit suicide, hang themselves up in my barn, and skin themselves.
Speaking of simple solutions, I saw on the TV news this evening that the City of Seattle, Washington has found an easy was to pacify their protestors. They have declared their Black neighborhood an "autonomous zone". The police have evacuated and abandoned any attempt to restore law and order. One of their senior police officers, who happens to be a Black female, expressed regret over this, but several other locals they interviewed seemed to think it was a good idea.
If Michigan had done something like that with Detroit after the 1967 riot, our corona numbers wouldn't be nearly as high as they are today. Last I heard, Cheboygan County was reporting 21 total cases, one death, and 17 recoveries. We probably wouldn't even know there was a pandemic going on if we hadn't read and heard about it in the news media.
