@TheAtlantic , establishment apologist rag, calls for using covid-excuse to impose more stringent "China-style" internet censorship.

Cherry on top: co-author of the piece, Jack Goldsmith, is fellow at the "conservative" think tank @HooverInst

Here is Jack Goldsmith, W. Bush alum, co-author of piece in Atlantic calling for internet censorship post-Covid.

He is a fellow at the nominally "conservative" Hoover Institution.

Who funds the Hoover Institution? Does Hoover support internet censorship? @LibertarianBlue
This kind of stuff is low hanging fruit.

Should Jack Goldsmith be employed by a nominally conservative think tank to write pieces for Atlantic calling for internet censorship?

Who funds the Hoover Institution?

Since there seems to be a media blackout on the victims of the riots, this thread will serve as a reference and tribute.

THEIR LIVES MATTER
First victim of the looters is Patrick Underwood. RIP

There is a middle-ground between "just a flu" and the position that the Covid numbers justify the extreme measure of shutting down the entire economy and sending tens of millions of people into unemployment, and the full consequences thereof.
There are related questions such as whether New York's severe situation justifies holding the entire country hostage. An urban/rural element.

And, furthermore, whether the lockdown measures (which aren't a real quarantine) are even that helpful to stop spread.
Indeed, it is quite possible that the half-measure lockdown in place in much of America combines the worst elements of the real quarantine with the worst elements of the herd immunity strategy
