A scarily good article...most people seem to quake at the notion of deviating too far from the majority viewpoint, even when that moves towards dangerous madness. Governments refuse to acknowledge reality and we let them play ostrich because that's our game, too. I continue to fight for change...but I'm very happy I don't have grandchildren.
A member of the vulnerable, my 57 year old diabetic neighbor died last Tuesday in the hospital as a result of contracting COVID as an inpatient.
He and his sister lived in their childhood home. They were of modest means. His death will result in his sister needing to sell her lifetime residence as her income is not sufficient to pay the taxes.
His sister telling me of his passing said, "57 is too damn young to die." I can only agree.
There will be a lot more suffering to come. The public's willful dismissal of an obviously dangerous collection of mutating viruses which is egged on by a leadership that leads only in the sense of acting in a manner of how most have been trained to perceive guarantees that.
One would think that living in an environment of crass commercialism would inure one from shock at how things roll, but shocked I am.
I'm so sorry...there are no words. None of this should be happening. I'm never going to stop telling customers at my work about how dangerous Covid is, because with all the misinformation being thrown around, people deserve to know!
Thanks again for your writing. ive never read dickenson, really like those poems. guess now gotta actually get myself and my fam to that end fossil fuel rally, get those solar panels up, and keep masking.
The amount of death, disability, and displacement we have already become inured to is dangerous and inhumane. Thank you again for another heart-felt article, you are one of many keeping the wind in my sail of steadfastness against the brain-munching madness. 💙

I'm sorry, it's all so grim

good for you, I've done the same, feel like I have no other choice really
Yeah...I wish the burden wasn't put on us to inform everyone, that everyone had access to this info easily. But it's all we can do.
