@jeffreyatucker Whatever one’s perspective on covid, it’s patently clear that immense numbers of folk - perhaps most - are stricken by profound, subjective, existential fear in the face of it, and respond accordingly. Our challenge is fundamental: that ain’t a sickness medical religion can fix.

@Aelkus I treat & regard influenza & Covid as serious diseases. Yet relative to the 1889-90 & 1918-20 pandemics, Covid is genuinely mild. What, then, explains our fierce terror about it? Life, modernism and us existentially revealed as lacking the security, order and control we imagine?
