#1 Truly a righteous rant that covers the territory well.
Nothing in this to disagree with. Nicely put.

#2 The shutdown of virtually all non-COVID-19 medical practice is putting great numbers of doctors and facilities around the country in danger of going out of business. Can the call to 'save' them by nationalization of the health care system be far behind?

#3 Yes but first you have to kill their patients by shutting down ORs and eliminating urgent care.

#6 I really, really hate the idiot turn the right has taken during this. It's destructive and intellectually corrupt -- there's no allowance for caution, no allowance for imperfect knowledge, and nothing but brainless contrarianism.

We've gone from objecting to restrictions that had no connection with public health to apparently rejecting the idea of public health, in the space of two weeks. I've seen the most bizarre conspiracy theories grow up in minutes, based on nothing more than the dislike of a statement a person said.

#8 I've just seen cyto-government storm killing the country.

The reaction will devastate far more lives than it saves.
