It’s simple and not complicated. And it’s a pity that the President of the United States did not realise or remember. Or perhaps thought that he and everyone he came into contact with would be immune (no pun intended) to danger.
Rule Number One of The Simplicity Principle is K.I.S.S or Keep it Simple (Sweetie).
Yes I know, some of you know this as ‘Keep It Simple, Stupid’ but I go with the gentler version taught to me by Maya Angelou and not the harsh language which Donald Trump himself might use.
I say that there is only one thing worse than complexity and that’s making something simple — like Social Distancing + Face Masks — into a complicated horror-story for everyone around you.
