Our leaders botched the Covid19 war, and we are defenseless against a now endemic disease.

15,000 to 20,000 Americans officially sick. 500 to 1,000 Americans officially dead.

Every day.

The free world does not easily survive a globally endemic Covid19.

We don’t have a Covid-19 strategy. We have a Covid-19 spasm.

First, we ignored the initial small provocations and the warning signs of trouble because we weren't prepared with actions we could take short of all-out war. Instead, we minimized and we excused.
Then, when we finally responded, we acted in an incredibly heavy-handed, all-or-nothing fashion that inflicted maximum damage on both the true war-fighting targets AND targets that have nothing to do with the fight at hand.
Finally, since our spasmatic attack failed to destroy the enemy, our population is held hostage by the enemy’s remaining offensive threat. We have no choice but to surrender and hope for a merciful/lucky outcome.

This is Self Assured Destruction.
Over the past two weeks, the US has averaged 22,089 new diagnosed cases and 1,118 Covid-19 deaths per day, even as cases and deaths from New York have dropped more than 80% from their peak (New York now adds about 1,200 new cases and 100 deaths per day).
Today, California reports about twice as many new daily Covid-19 cases as New York. Illinois reports more, too.

Over the next week or two, both Texas and Florida will surpass New York in new daily Covid-19 cases.
