Thank you for putting post-pandemic infectious morbidity in the broader socio-political context. Studying pandemics throughout history, it seems post-pandemic denialism is pretty constant. As you so ably describe Europe and the USA are all captured by naked capitalism. Politicians are unable to think the social-business-government contract. Chaos ensues.
Many thanks again, Julia, for another insightful article. So glad that I am retired in a blue state and live alone in my home, which I own outright and has an air purifier, and I can almost completely control how and when I come into contact with others. I feel badly for those who can't. And it will take millions more dying and disabled before anything changes. Pathetic. Many thanks again, and I wish you good health.
"Sick people cost money; letting a pandemic rip isn’t cheap, only easy." 👏👏👏
