Thoughts on 45’s Statement that the Way to Slow the Escalation in the Number of Cases of COVID19 Is to Stop Testing

“The sensorimotor stage is the earliest in Piaget's theory of cognitive development. He described this period as a time of tremendous growth and change. According to Piaget, developing object permanence is one of the most important accomplishments at the sensorimotor stage of development. Imagine a game of peek-a-boo, for example. ... Older infants who understand object permanence will realize that the person or object continues to exist even when unseen. Most infants develop this concept between 6 and 12 months.”

The Swiss scientist Piaget
has left us with nothing to say.
            Even if we don’t seek,
            even if we don’t peek,
Corona is still in full play.

The peek-a-boo game pleases babies,
but COVID is risky as rabies.
            If we can’t get tested,
            it can’t be arrested,
an outcome with no buts or maybes.

  2. Neema, thanks for taking a look! BlogSpot changed its interface, so now I find it complicated to look at--anything. I enjoyed meeting you at the conference. Now, waiting for Chen to give us a last gift.
