It’s Not About Your Health

When the State tells you it's safe to go to Home Depot to buy a sponge, but dangerous to go and buy a flower, it's not about your health.

When the State shuts down millions of private businesses, but doesn’t lay off a single government employee, it's not about your health.

When the State prevents you from buying cucumber seeds because it's dangerous, but allows in-person lottery ticket sales, it's not about your health.

When the State tells you it's dangerous to go golf alone, fish alone, or be in a motor boat alone, but the Governor can get his stage make-up and hair done for 5 TV appearances a week, it's not about your health.

When the state puts you IN a jail cell for walking in a park with your child because it’s too dangerous, but let’s criminals OUT of jail cells for their health, it’s not about your health.

When the state tells you it’s too dangerous to get treated by a doctor of chiropractic, or to get your physical therapy treatments, yet deems a liquor store essential, it’s not about your health.

When the State “lets” you go to the grocery store or hardware store, but is demanding mail-in voting, ITS NOT ABOUT YOUR HEALTH.

IT’S TIME TO BUILD

Every Western institution was unprepared for the coronavirus pandemic, despite many prior warnings. This monumental failure of institutional effectiveness will reverberate for the rest of the decade, but it’s not too early to ask why, and what we need to do about it.

Many of us would like to pin the cause on one political party or another, on one government or another. But the harsh reality is that it all failed — no Western country, or state, or city was prepared — and despite hard work and often extraordinary sacrifice by many people within these institutions. So the problem runs deeper than your favorite political opponent or your home nation.


 

I think most of us have been fretting about this exposure for a long time, to some degree. Comparing Los Angeles to Shanghai isn't exactly fair, though. Cheaper to spread out if you can.

As mentioned in the video of Miamiz' that I bumped yesterday (?), 85% is actually pretty reasonable, not ideal, but better than the 50–70% rate of the rapid flu test. A second test that comes back negative gives a pretty good picture.

Fascinating and insightful article in the Atlantic. Might be behind a paywall (?)
Summary:
A plague (likely typhus or typhoid) contributed to the downfall of Athens, particularly its democracy. Parallels with today are disturbing - but also offer hope.
