We will need to stay vigilant for a long time, with masks, distancing, etc. We can't go back to normal until basically the world has the vaccine, and then, everyone will need to have it.

We are in full crisis mode now. Weekly supplemental unemployment benefits are ending. Families that were are the margins are now really screwed. Trump has violated the norms and safeguards of a free democracy. He must be stopped. He is a danger to our collective future and the democracy we previously took for granted. The vote in November is in danger of being tampered with, and it is unclear if Trump would relinquish power if unseated.7-26
This may very well be the end of it. The forces of human technology have eclipsed our ability to engage in collective acts of conservation such that we will use up the planet's resources unsustainably. Civilizations flourish, and civilizations perish. The pigheaded demagoguery of Trump and others of his ilk is as much a part of human nature as any other. On the scale that we are now operating, it is not a question of millions dying, but billions.

Our goal should be elimination, not mitigation. We are not serious about elimination, which is just a cop out. Leadership in Durham and at Duke seems to imply that what we are doing is good enough. I say loudly: This is not good enough. Stop pushing the buck. #eliminationnotmitigation
We thought we were fighting a terrible foe but in fact we have not even begun to fight, we were terribly ineffectual undersized unorganized undercapitalized.
America is a tinderbox. But we have not seen another period of social unrest since George Floyd is surprising, especially that there has been a second stimulus. Perhaps it is underfoot.

We had the time to put together a robust testing and tracing. To institute widespread adoption of masking policies. To get businesses to get on the bus. But we failed.

With over 200,000 daily infections, it is clear that Covid is completely out of control in the US. Short of a national lockdown, it’s unclear how it will come back under control.
