"A virus is not a miasma, a cootie, or red goo like in the children’s book Cat in the Hat.
There is no path toward waging much less winning a national war against
a virus. It cares nothing about borders, executive orders, and titles. A
virus is a thing to battle one immune system at a time, and our bodies
have evolved to be suited to do just that. Vaccines can give advantage
to the immune system through a clever hack. Even so, there will always
be another virus and another battle, and so it’s been for hundreds of
thousands of years.
If you read the above carefully, you now know more than you would know from watching 50 TED talks on viruses by Bill Gates."

"“Communities faced with epidemics or other adverse events respond
best and with the least anxiety when the normal social functioning of
the community is least disrupted.”
And that’s what we did for the one hundred years following the
catastrophic Spanish flu of 1918. We never again attempted widespread
closures or lockdown precisely because they had failed so miserably in
the few places they were attempted.
The cooties theory attempted a comeback with the Swine flu of 2009
(H1N1) but the world was too busy dealing with a financial crisis so the
postwar strategy of virus control and mitigation prevailed once again,
thankfully. But then the perfect storm hit in 2020 and a new generation
of virus mitigators got their chance to conduct a grand social
experiment based on computer modeling and forecasting."
