Judging by comments beneath, I don't think enough people "get it"--even after Covid has come and gone--that social distancing, all by itself, is sufficient to destroy society.

Society is togetherness. Prosperity requires togetherness.

I had an epidemiologist tell me claims of lockdowns being devastating were 'exaggerated'. He's also a public health policy expert who's often interviewed on national TV here i n Canada.

The response showed me he's just an asshole.

Except that the lockdowns also served the globalist purpose of trying to wipe out independent business owners so to make them dependent on government. From the globalist perspective, the lockdowns were a success, and they plan to do it again under the guise of saving us from climate change.

PNK, we could have put tax deductible $5 "treatment packs" in every checkout lane in America in two weeks for five billion dollars and five billion more would have continued it as long as necessary. With a media "blitz" about treatment, dosing, side effects, interactions, YES, we could have done this. Even Comrades Cuomo & DeBlasio could have contributed to the general good. Maybe even Gestapo Gretchen?

Of course, we would have had to be smart, and less corrupt.

So maybe we couldn't have.

On April 4 of 2020 I posted this as a comment on Holman Jenkins column in the Wall St Journal:

The saddest outcome of social distancing will be this lesson that looks to be unlearned. Namely that the very bricks and mortar of prosperity come from the opposite of social distancing: close social collaboration.

So do tariffs enable close social collaboration?

Do walls on the Mexican border?

Do sanctions of other countries?
