This article repeats what I've been saying for months, but will help provide context for people who don't study history, or who didn't live through previous disasters like SARS-1, etc. The response to date for SARS-2 will be laughed at for centuries. Non sequitur is a word to get familiar with: Non sequitur: The argument itself could have true premises, but still have a false conclusion. In the case of corona, yes it's fatal to a very small percentage of people, but vaporizing the US economy when we don't have nearly adequate testing, tracing or vaccines for a highly infectious disease makes no sense, aside from the political optics of "I tried to do something, so re-elect me." I would argue we have dishonored those who died from corona by also tanking our economy, for no benefit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_fallacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_fallacy If you think I'm being cynical about politicians, it turns out the Falkland War was solely about Thatcher getting re-elected - residents of the Falklands aren't British citizens. (Now it turns out there's massive oil and gas fields there, so it worked out fine for Britain.)
