What the hell do we care if some vulnerable patient gets coronavirus and dies. That's just God's way of sayin' the victim wasn't good enough to be apart of the master race!

Some Scary Thoughts About Viruses
There was no vaccine for chickenpox when I was a kid in the 1970's, and it was considered inevitable and indeed preferable to catch it as a kid, since it tends to be more serious to catch it as an adult. I remember it as both a novelty and an inconvenience; sure, I itched a bit, but no big deal, and I knew it would go away soon enough. Most people my age have a chickenpox scar or two, but it was really no big deal. And that's to be expected in a virus that's been circulating in the human population since forever. There's a principle in evolutionary biology: parasites tend t... more »

So overall economic growth was modest, too. That’s a key difference between the post-financial crisis recovery and the 1990s boom.
