We might do well to prepare for a slow descent into the next Dark Age. Or we can balance the suffering caused by Covid 19 against the suffering caused by the collapse of civilization. Some of us are chill with the collapse of civilization. Eco-nihilist "deep ecologists". That's because it is an abstraction, an idea, and ideas flit about the mind like they had no gravity, no sense of pain, no real meaning. You wanted the hard rain, you got the hard rain. Been nice knowing you. Or we can reopen business, enforce wearing of mask and other procedures and live with the toll of the disease. The toll from the collapse of the social infrastructure will be nasty beyond belief. Might as well ask for WWIII nuclear holocaust or an asteroid impact. Which toll sounds most rational to you, Armageddon or back to the job site? You wanna be a rebel, here's yer chance.
