they told us wearing masks would work, and it didn't.
they told us the sinners were spreading it, and they weren't.
and, now they're shutting down everything except the two highest risk categories: schools & churches.
the data suggests that the virus is being spread at after-work parties, after-school activities, house parties and other congregations happening outside of the scope of the authorities - where people aren't being tracked (and i hope they turn their phones off, too). if shutting down restaurants & etc increases the amount of contact happening in these unmonitored spaces, it would follow that increasing lockdowns will increase the spread.
and, that is what we've been seeing in front of us - the stricter the regulations, the higher the spread.
"but, that doesn't make any sense!", cries the authoritarian. "if you set rules, you can measure outcomes."
but, this is just simple arrogance - aristotlian, judaic. backwards.
and, we know it was predictable because i predicted it.
