An obvious point

The mental health consequences of this whole nightmare will long outlast the labor lockout, the government tyranny, by a lot.  People are hanging on by a string, by now, and many of them, of course, did not hold on.  At some point one of the very, very, very few honest journalists will do the tally of suicides and drug overdoses.  I expect them to be substantial.

But over and above that, this whole thing is traumatizing.  For me, personally, it has been a Godsend.  But I thought about all this.  I had plans in place.  I was ready, in many ways, although I will admit some of it was pure blind luck or Grace.

But some of these lockdowns are severe.  Even though salt air is one of the most sanitary, sanitizing natural substances on the planet, Democrats like Bill DeBlasio and Gavin Newsome are denying their people access to both the physical and mental health benefits of fresh air, sunshine, and ocean waves.

It’s unconscionable, especially now that the disease seems to be done completely.  It’s monstrous.

If the American people–and indeed, the citizens of the world–do not blame them and hold them to account for what amount to crimes against humanity–something far in excess of mere incompetence–then our future is bleak.
