Elections During a Pandemic: Election Day in America

Elections during a Pandemic: Election Day in America

    This early, Trump is questioning the election “results”.

      Everybody.

       Please.

       Calm down.

     People are making their choices in peace,

      and with physical distancing 😉

     “15 Ways to Calm Yourself Down” from healthline

“ (from healthline.com, annotated by blog admin, an aspiring wellness coach)

“1. Breathe” (healthline says: deep breathing and three-part breathing: one deep breath in and “then exhale fully while paying attention to your body.”)

“2.Admit that you’re anxious or angry”. (i guess this means acknowledge to yourself your anger. It doesn’t mean throwing things around, or tweeting like a madman. It simply means being aware of yourself.)

“3.Challenge your thoughts.” (i guess this means being rational. Don’t set things on fire or rally people to fire their guns, etc. Be rational. Your options are: You can file a case if you want, or an electoral protest).

“4.Release the anxiety or anger” thru exercise but one that does not harm yourself or others.

“5.Visualize yourself calm.”

“6.Think things through.”

“7. Listen to music” (but  not  to your campaign playlist– it might make you cry. Bach or Pachelbel works)

“8.Change your focus” (focus on your packing schedules and on getting well)

“9.Relax your body”

“10.Get some fresh air.”

The constitutional basis of the hashtag #NasaanAngPangulo

The Constitutional Basis of the hashtag #NasaanAngPangulo

     Last night, lawyer Mara, worried about how our countrymen would cope with the expected supertyphoon, said: “The President is missing…!”

      Me ( aspiring fashion designer) replied: “He’s not missing – he’s just sleeping.”

       This morning, the hashtag #NasaanAngPangulo  trended . The English translation of the words in the hashtag (for the worldwide audience) is:

   #WhereisthePresident

or

      #MrPresidentWRU?

or 

       #MrPresidentIfYouThereShowusaSign 

 or

       #PlanetEarthtoPresidentover?”

      If you can put together a mathematician and a doctor, we would be able to analyze data on the pattern of the appearances and long periods of non-appearances to be able to map out the presidential circadian rhythm. For example, PDu30 Chart:

Sleeps for _ days,

Wakes up once 12 midnight to appear in press briefing,

Sleeps for ___ days,

appears for 30 minutes, etc.

      To be fair, it is true that the President does not need to literally show his face everytime there is an emergency, where lives are at stake. Perhaps the secret of his steady ratings is in not making us see his face, mostly.

      And to be fair, the only time he needs to be awake is as Commander-in-Chief, when military forces have to be deployed out-of-barracks, or out-of-district, or out-of-province, for rescue missions and other emergency operations.

      Or when, before the supertyphoon makes landfall, he reviews the data and based on this, prepositions reserved forces and deploys them in areas that would require rescue and relief. Executive Secretary Medialdea, who runs the Palace day-to-day, is not in the chain of command. The local government officials are not in the chain of command. The Speaker of the House is not in the chain of command. The Senate President is not in the chain of command. Not even the Vice President is in the chain of command. Only the President can deploy them out-of-district or out-of-barracks – these forces will not take deployment orders from any civilian, except the Commander-in-Chief.

      So, in an expected emergency like a supertyphoon, when resources and assets have to be prepositioned, and when the proper and sudden deployment of forces are required for rescue missions to mitigate casualties, when does the President need to be awake?

        In an emergency: Always.
