Okay, so what if you open Pandora's box?

What would you do?

You've unleashed hell on the world, and you've done it.

You're responsible for it.

What would you do?

Go to confession?

Okay, so what would you do?

God willing, I never have to be in that position.

But the idea is like, I'm going to try to shut it.

Shut it down.

With whatever means I can at my fingertips to try to make that happen.

If you're, you know, powerful people in public health have a lot of means, it turns out, we learned in 2020, to try to do that.

I'm saying both.

So imagine that you've done this, that you've recommended the lockdowns, you've recommended the school closures, you've recommended a set of

measures that you know are going to harm the poor, you know are going to harm the children, but you're doing it because you want to suppress the spread of this deadly disease that in the back of your mind maybe you think you might have been responsible for.

Maybe you can't admit that to yourself.

You do it and it doesn't work.

It doesn't work.

It's summer of 2020 and it's very, very clear the disease is still there.

The Chinese claim that they got rid of the disease, but that result is not replicated anywhere on earth other than there.
