Do you see anything happening in the US public sphere to make you particularly hopeful about how we’ll handle the next one? These people are literally dying on the hill of “covid is a hoax”. Half of the country claims they won’t take a vaccine, and the leadership of half of the country has learned they can gain power by downplaying covid.

I’m not hopeful at all about the US (RE: SARS-Cov2 or otherwise). I think we should have pulled the plug on this version of the Republic when we gave up on reconstruction after Civil War I.
