About 10 hours ago I made my nth comment about how freaked out I am that Americans basically put the deaths of 1.1+ million of their fellow citizens right into the memory hole. The lessons pols learned was be Trumpian about public health at all times. Tell the public to do what it likes. Take out the "public" in public health. Put the onus on the individual if they want to protect their health or their loved ones or the public. Never follow the science and handle any public health issue - no matter how severe or deadly not with science but with spin. Make your communication strategy bald face lying. Put in toady stooges at the CDC, etc.

Maybe one day a covid movie with a message (sort of) will finally come out. If that actually happens - it will surely be a comedy and capitalism won't be referred to. The blame will be put on greed, sloth, stupidity, ineptitude, "politics", etc.
