Started reading a random compilation of 1969-70 #scifi short stories that I bought while trying to keep #bookstores in business during the worst of the #quarantines - first one in the collection has the main character being a professional puppy murderer as a child, and being essentially a pathological killer while also being a hero and the ideal military officer. He also thought he killed an angel.

I don’t know who Howard Fast is but he has issues.

When I was a child in the late '90s, I watched a PBS documentary about #pandemics that terrified me so much I couldn't sleep. I remember my dad reassuring me that the US was a wealthy country that would invest in #ContactTracing, #Quarantines and other robust #PublicHealthMeasures to stop a #pandemic.

My dad didn't live to see #covid, but damn, I've thought about that every single day since March 2020 and how much I wish he'd been right.

LOCKDOWNS vs. QUARANTINES:

#Quarantines protect society from the sickest, the most vulnerable from society and shorten outbreaks. Everyone else lives normally, developing herd immunity.

#Lockdowns punish everyone, destroy economies, block herd immunity and lengthen outbreaks.
