It occurs to me to comment that anyone who wants to defend the continuation of this lockdown when the epidemic–defined as 7% of death from a given cause–has been over for more than a month, is really forced to privilege potential future evils over present, real, and ubiquitous ones. They say that what MIGHT happen is vastly more important than what IS happening.
And self evidently, most of them make this process easy for themselves by IGNORING present evils, including the risk of 125 million people starving to death. To put it mildly, that is a LOT of people, a lot of pain, a lot of misery, and something that HONEST people who feel honest compassion should be deeply worried about.
That most Democrats could not care less, well, we’ve been over this road, haven’t we? The outlines are clear enough.
