Different times, different Crises. 

The epidemic related to the Boom Awakening was drug overdoses. Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison...

I'll say this: contracting COVID-19 is about as dangerous as using street drugs, something that I do not endorse. One typically shoots up, ingests, or freebases certain drugs which you cannot get from aerosols that someone coughed into the environment.

Different time, same issues and problems as those in the past.

Hmm…. I started out thinking on the distinction between the two. The war on drugs has to be fought with law enforcement. On the other hand, COVUS 19 has to be fought with…. law enforcement? Those that contaminate the environment have to be initially ticketed then more severely punished until they stop randomly killing people?

The biggest difference is that druggies take their own risks, though some encourage lawlessness by those who have to support their habit by committing criminal acts. With COVID 19, people randomly murder for their own convenience. How big a distinction?

The difference is that I had to take no special precautions against druggies except to avoid certain places where criminal activity is high. COVID 19 has me in isolation as those with no concern for other people’s lives are everywhere.
