Re: Sales pitch
Yes - it is time to think about what long-term price the country is willing to pay to avoid a relatively few deaths from Covid-19. Constant tracking is one price, as is the number of deaths and morbidities caused by the response to the virus over the next two generations - deaths of poverty, deaths of despair, deaths of violence. Another is the inevitable social breakdown from people being ordered to not trust anyone else. This is is the biggest divide-and-conquer attempt in history, and it will not end well - either people will go along with it and society will become a memory, or they won't, and the backlash will change things forever. There is more to this than a scoreboard of deaths that pales into insignificance against other causes.
