Loneliness--The Other Pandemic
#8
We are getting about 120,000 new cases of COVID-19 through our overburdened medical system with between 1200 and 3000 deaths per day. Some large-city infrastructure for dealing with death (the morgues, as in San Diego) are now overburdened. We are approaching the "mass grave" level of death. We could end up with a need for crematoria of the sort that accommodated mass death more clearly intentional... as at Nazi concentration camps and of course the Nazi slaughterhouses. Upticks in new cases and later deaths arise from events that get people together in the time of the Plague of Donald Trump.

At least we had an excuse for the Spanish Influenza of a century ago. This time most of us know what to do but many of us do wrong anyway.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
