Shovelbum are your 20+ posts per page to try and convince us that the US is bad? Because I dont think anyone disagrees?

Or is it like, we should kill ourselves because nothing will ever improve? Or are you hoping someone will talk you out of feeling suicidally hopeless? What's the angle here

aNYWAY,
tHAT'S REALLY ALL THERE IS,
tO REPORT ON THE SUBJECT,
oF ME GETTING HURT,


I'll admit, while this feels like something that should Matter, I'll believe it when I see it at this point. The urge to snap back to stagnant status quo is just so powerful, and isn't really dependent on the conditions experienced by the majority of society - small businesses can collapse, old people can die in staggering numbers, hospitals can be overwhelmed, record numbers of people can be jobless and evicted, but so long as the upper echelons of society are insulated from material consequences then they can continue pretending everything's normal.

The idea is that all that suffering and displacement has to lead to some kind of reaction that could crack the facade, but we don't even know what that would look like. "The same, but worse" on the other hand is an outcome we have a lot of experience with. If the biggest backlash people can muster is replacing the decrepit rapist Republican pawn of capital with the decrepit rapist Democrat pawn of capital then nothing much will change.

The scale of this is far beyond anything any American has lived through. Take every major event in your life and roll them all up in a ball and it's still less pain, suffering, and shock than America is going to go through in 9 months of this year.

Maybe that leads to nothing. But if that's the case we'd be the first country in history to be able to just ignore something on that scale.

getting the R0 below 1 requires these lockdowns and strict measures, why the gently caress do they think yanking those strict measures away as soon as it hits 1 is a good idea

asian countries didn't need a peer reviewed journal to do extensive lockdowns and quarantines. western countries used peer review and getting high off their own farts to justify doing nothing

You could also whisk everyone away to central quarantine who tests positive for monitoring and treatment, that approach collapses R0 the fastest. It's also what the new military junta will do later this year when they seize power, but instead of the chinese quarantine where they feed you steamed shrimp and pork belly in a repurposed convention center with TVs and board games you're likely to be stuffed into tents under armed guard
