The cure has become worse than the disease.

How long are we going to flail about, hiding behind our masks,
afraid to send our children (who are in no danger more serious than risk of the flu) to school,
charging university students full tuition for tenth-rate online “education,”
pitting family member against family member over vaccine policy
and, most seriously, compromising the great economic engine upon which our health also depends?

There are no risk-free paths forward. There is only one risk, or another.
Pick your poison: that’s the choice life often offers.
I am weary of living under the increasingly authoritarian dictates of a polity hyper-concerned with one risk, and oblivious to all others.
