Cookie-cutter advice is not only the enemy of common sense, but hinders strategic wisdom from producing positive solutions.

The thought behind the quote

What is "cookie cutter" advice? It is general advice given by supposed experts for a specific situation.

I want you to swipe left...see the actual deaths that have been truly caused by this virus 47,128 since February 1, 2020...while the number for overall deaths? 787,181 during the same time period. While any death is a tragedy just think about those numbers and think about our WHOLE COUNTRY being shutdown in fear of this virus killing people.

From a WISE LEADERSHIP perspective, going forward...here is what needs to happen: 1. Do what the @realdonaldtrump did when he banned travel to and from the point of origin of the virus...China. He didn't initially ban all travel to and from other counties, that would have been "cookie cutter" leadership! 2. When a particular place has an "outbreak" isolate THAT PLACE and do everything possible like banning travel to and from that place until it passes...so in America, that would be New York! 3. Do NOT shutdown every state and every business based on what is happening in China or New York! Deal with specific people and places based on what is happening THERE and don't impose "cookie cutter" thinking/leadership based on a demographic! 4. When "cookie cutter" advice is given by experts, and the effect of that advice is more catastrophic than the risk of people getting a disease and dying, then CHANGE the course QUICKLY and restore normalcy based on strategic wisdom and common sense!!! 5. When less than 4% of all death in the last two months, have been caused by WHATEVER the crisis, NEVER overact out of FEAR and shut everything down...EVER AGAIN!!

This is not me THE PASTOR speaking! This is me THE LEADER speaking with common sense and praying that God will help give our leaders some STRATEGIC WISDOM on how to deal with future problems and crisis!

Lastly, YOU are going to die of something and you can't always prevent what will kill you! But for God's sake, LIVE YOUR LIFE! Take BIG RISKS! And NEVER make fear based decisions! ASK GOD FOR WISDOM and remember COMMON SENSE overrules "cookie cutter" advice...EVERY TIME!
