Pestilential

Tom Toles, brilliant as ever. But as people sicken and die - many here in New York - I'm losing my relish for criticism. The damage done is already so much greater than these ignorant people's cravenness and pettiness. (We're #1 in the world now, in covid-19 cases.) The disproportion between the smallness of evil and the vastness of its harm addles thought. With Camus' Dr. Rieux one wants just to say: "There are sick people and they need curing." Sick societies too. But how?
