To speak heartlessly and to the point, what happens to the immune systems of the already lonely?
As I’ve said elsewhere–I can’t remember if I’ve noted this here–if suicide rates had DOUBLED nobody would be reporting it. Sociology was in some senses invented by Durkheim’s seminal treatment of the topic, and a robust finding was that knowing other people are killing themselves leads to more suicides.
But what happens to the people who were on the edge when this STARTED?
Is it not a reasonable question: what is the fucking PLAN to end this? Vaccination? Go fuck yourself.
And if not vaccination, then it is a cure or Herd Immunity. The latter is the only thing we can RELY on. I say get it on, among the young at least.
And our “leaders” need to be telling us SOMETHING about what to expect. Leader that he is, Trump wanted this to end in a week. He may renew that call as the massive nation wide policy failure continues over the next 7 days. He is surrounded, it seems to me, by idiots.
