Yes, Verb has a forthcoming essay.
Sometimes it drifts off topic into talk of baiting clicks.

People would have to be open minded enough to admit they were wrong and take whatever political movements proverbial dick out of their mouth long enough to admit it. I don't think we live in a society where that happens. In the future it will probably be even worse.

You seem to have it all figured out.

I have enough humility to understand that I don't know shit and neither does big daddy government. But don't let me stop you guys from drawing the battle lines with your retweets and article shares.

What are we doing other than saying showing up to a couple hundred thousand rally without mask is dumb? And wearing a mask when necessary is important?

Why are you so angry at "us" ? Who are you actually fighting here?

And you have 0 humility.

It's hypocritical to focus only on Sturgis. Call me a bigot.

For showing everyone how compassionate and virtuous you are?

I'd be happy to admit I'm wrong, but I can't think of one example where the huge protests were criticized by any of the people who post stuff like the Sturgis headlines. It's all one way traffic.

The exhaust pipe of a Harley is designed to preserve and project viable virus particles hundreds of meters.

Also, social justice protests do not tolerate virus among their attendees.

Shit, can I have a Masters in public health now?

The rioters capture the virus and put them in specially marked bottles to protect the attendees. - Now This

slight uptick in new cases last week. Deaths have never really taken off in the second wave...

Just wait two more weeks

You can see a slight uptick in deaths slightly after the "second wave" begins. I'd guess the spike is not as high because: Outbreaks are not localized in one spot like they were early on (NYC) so we're not seeing hospitals overwhelmed. And places have had time to prepare and learn about and develop best practices around treatment. More equipment, more knowledge, less concentration = Lower death rate

That's my take

We also stopped putting Covid patients in nursing homes, so there's that.
