The U.S. spends 760 billion military dollars a year to make sure we could fight an enemy, but this year an enemy came and we didn’t fight it at all.

Just as wars are fought by coordinating a huge array of military and organizational skills, a war against Covid could have been fought by coordinating a huge array of scientific, medical, governmental and organizational skills.

That coordination did not occur. As a result, medical personnel and first responders were left to make heroic efforts far more burdensome than they should have had to - sometimes even at the sacrifice of their own lives - because of a lack of that federal response.

The side effect of fighting this enemy would have been health and raised expectations in the general public. Our system depends on people having lowered expectations and not understanding that our financial needs can and should be satisfied by the system.

Because we only care about the external enemies. We never fight the internal ones.

The military were spending billions in 1995 and a white terrorist blew up a building. All those planes and ships and missiles didn’t prevent that. Or the worst that came later.

We really have little hope against the aliens or the zombies based on our response to this virus. 😄
