The Coronavirus, not the beer

“Isolate yourself if symptomatic” sounds really simple unless you’re depending on a paycheck to keep the lights on.

I work for a nonprofit that focuses on food insecurity. As such I work in communities where a significant portion of the population is food-insecure. You think those people can afford to “isolate themselves if symptomatic”? And here’s the fun part—those are the *recipients* of food aid. A lot of the *donors* of food aid (local grocery stores and restaurants) are companies whose workers are just a whisker from needing assistance themselves. With a couple of notable and noble exceptions, those folks are under tremendous pressure to come to work. Because their families need the check. Because they’ll get fired if they don’t.

“Isolate yourself if symptomatic” sounds really simple unless you can’t afford to miss work.

It's unfortunate Julio hasn't posted much here. He got game.
 
As America tops 4 million COVID cases, the cult of Donald Trump has become a death cult

People who refuse to wear a mask are bolstering their sore egos. Their national motto is not 'E Pluribus Unum,' it's 'You're not the boss of me.'

America has now passed the milestone of 4 million COVID cases, and we’re still arguing with doctors and epidemiologists about masks and school closures. I expected some of this, because I literally wrote the book over three years ago on why so many Americans think they’re smarter than experts. What I did not expect is that this resolute and childish opposition to expertise would be hijacked by the president of the United States and an entire American political party, and then turned into a suicide cult.

It did not take a lot of foresight to know, even before the coronavirus arrived, that the United States was leaving itself vulnerable to a crisis that would require the public to trust experts. We long ago became a narcissistic nation whose citizens believe they can become competent in almost any subject by watching enough television and spending enough time on the internet. But I was certain that a true national crisis — a war, a depression, or yes, a pandemic — would snap people back to reality.

I was wrong to be so optimistic.
