2 July

As a kid, my dentist had a sign in his office that said 'teeth don't fall out - gums drop them'. It's stuck with me, the wisdom in that. The pandemic similar. Viruses don't spread, people spread them. When we talk about a pandemic, it's not actually a virus versus us battle. The pattern and spread of infection is 100% created by the social and political arrangements we have in place. Because of that a pandemic is a symptom of a certain way of running societies. In this case, the increasing growth of libertarianism/individualism IS the pandemic.
