1/ Masks aren't the answer.
Lockdowns aren't.
School closures aren't.
Travel bans aren't.
The early Israeli data suggest vaccines won't be either. (Just as they aren't for the flu.)
A year in, the choice is ever clearer:
Live with the ro, or destroy ourselves trying to stop it.

2/ LOOK AROUND. Israel has shut its borders. New Zealand may ban most travel through 2021. France has stopped non-European Union travel.
In the US, many teachers unions want to keep schools closed into 2022. Pressure to vaccinate children (WHO ARE AT <>ZERO RISK) is rising...

3/ The live arts, music, and sports are basically extinct.
Colleges are under INSANE restrictions (again, for students who are at no risk).
If you want to eat at a restaurant in NYC, it looks like this:

4/ Overdoses are off the charts - overdose deaths rose almost surely rose 20,000-40,000 in the US last year.
In-person religious services are strongly discouraged.
Even travel between states has become onerous.
NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY SENSE.
NONE OF IT.

5/ Regional hospital systems have NEVER been close to overrun anywhere - not even in NYC last spring.
The death rate for the coronavirus is between 1 and 2 per 1,000 people worldwide (slightly more in rich countries with lots of people over 80)...

6/ Yet instead of pulling back, governments and health experts and the media are DOUBLING DOWN, trying to scare people with talk of new #sarscov2 variants - even though we have NO proof that any are more dangerous...
7/ And pressuring (and increasingly openly talking about forcing) people into being vaccinated - even though the vaccines available in the US have serious side effects, are based on a technology never approved before for ANY medicine, and have not been shown to reduce deaths...
8/ I don't know when this ends. I don't know how it ends. But I know it has to end soon. BECAUSE NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL. AND NONE OF IT MAKES ANY SENSE.
