Well, some of that was kinda obvious.
BTW, 6-feet spacing, actually NOT ENOUGH. 12 feet
would have been more useful. Masks designed for
bacteria weren't gonna do much either.
Thing is, being in the political realm, reality is
not always the most important thing. They have to
be seen as "Doing Something", whatever it may be.
There really wasn't any way to stop Covid at the
beginning - no vax or other good measures. The
ONLY tact was to try and DELAY it a bit so the
health system would not be totally overwhelmed.
The virus WOULD run its course regardless.
Even thus, the system WAS kinda overwhelmed in
some places.
Well, that was then. Alas there are NEW viruses
that are worrisome - and some CRIMINAL IDIOTS
calling themselves "scientists" keep brewing up
STRONGER versions of Covid and worse. The next
big lab leak, or deliberate release by fanatics,
can be tomorrow - so what we gonna do folks ?
Modern travel/trade means there's no such thing
as a local epidemic anymore. Something pops up
in China or Nigeria or Bolivia and it's EVERYWHERE
within a week.
First off, anybody who even floats an idea for
viral "amplification" should be seized and sent
to a dungeon somewhere they can never blab. This
should be international law.
Everybody since I was born thought the End Of
The World would be nuclear mushrooms everywhere.
Hey, they DID do the "Duck & Cover" drills when
I was in school. That cheap desk was supposed
to save you.
Well ... that may not be THE most real danger
after all - things a micron across instead and
nobody has to press any buttons ...
