1/ COVID revealing as many problems as it’s creating: lack of adequate healthcare system; lack of adequate investment in science and medical research; systemic economic injustice towards black Americans as well as indigenous peoples; lack of govt compassion in response to crisis

2/ It’s very important we remember those things, as there will be tremendous temptation to forget them once we get on the other side of this. The system will do everything it can to return to “normal;” we should never forget how dangerous that normal is to vast numbers of people.

3/ The system has revealed itself deeply inadequate in responding to crises, particularly those that it creates. Ask every politician, “What would we do if there was a nuclear disaster?” “What would we do if there was a global weather catastrophe?” If they just squirm, fire them.

You are kidding, right? It has shown the healthcare system is remarkably flexible. Remember, only NYC is stressed, and it never ran out of capacity. Medical research? Tests, therapeutics, and vaccines have been created at a record pace.

Quarantine: a theory based off false data, false death rates, false models, false predictions & false entry date.
