Sigh. We are ruled by medical illiterates who are also economically illiterate. https://t.co/JB9sT9oE8O

What’s the alternative, Charlie? Staying inside for years? How will that fucking work, exactly? Do you know how destructive that is to people’s pysches, how many people do not want to and simply cannot live that way?
It’s easy enough for some dipshit writer who already stays inside all the time to attempt to require the rest of us to do so, but it’s a completely different story for anyone who is not already a de facto lockdown lifer. These death cult pseudo-libs pretend to care about human flourishing, to want open borders, to desire the best for people, but when it comes down to it they are just as parochial and fearful as the insular conservative pea-brains they denigrate.
They just needed something friendly to their delusions to let it out publicly.
