🤔 #COVID

@luckytran <sigh>

Dropping Covid emergency measures is both stupid and logical.

Stupid because of course Covid is isn’t over if you look at the evidence from a medical or social impact perspective.

It’s logical because you can’t keep trying to lead where the electorate just isn’t going to go. Not *should go* but *will* go.

It’s like the meme “time to stop saying ‘avoid it like the plague,’ because that’s not what we do now.”

Edit to clarify it’s covid.

@bubbajet @luckytran Except following the uninformed group (or rather, the group you caused to be misinformed) is not leadership. People ARE willing to do the right things if they are actually informed about the issue.

@shawrd773 @luckytran I don’t disagree. But there’s no support in the media - which is driven by money, not truth - to spread the word. The purveyors of falsehoods have won.

It’s going to take a much higher death rate to get the public’s attention next time. Until people die in the tens of thousands per day in the US alone, it’s not going to get attention.

From a leadership perspective, it’s time to work on groundwork for next time. Makes me sad. People are getting hurt for no reason.
