RE: Two classical liberal notes on epidemic response.

in #health4 years ago (edited)

In considering policy of anarchy in terms of pandemic response, I recommend a retrospective on recent history of governments regarding this current pathogen. China first suppressed all information and jailed early reporters of the outbreak, guaranteeing it's unimpeded spread. When it became clear there was a terrible problem, they implemented a life threatening quarantine without much advance notice to their people, but did so after ~5 million people left the quarantine area, transmitting the virus ~5 million times to ~5 million different places. Now they have 10% of the global population under quarantine, and 80% of manufacturing and 90% of exports are disrupted in China.

In Italy, the mayor of Florence began a 'hug a Chinese' campaign on Feb. 1, 2020, and starting a week ago Italy has become a major epicenter of community transmission, and has ~50k people under quarantine.

Anarchists could hardly do worse. More importantly, they don't reckon they're in authority over all the idiots of the world, and expect idiots to do exactly what has been happening in regard to pandemic prevention and preparedness. That means we undertake our own prevention and preparedness, based on research we conduct ourselves so we aren't misled by lying WHO officials protecting the Pandemic Fund bondholders by not declaring a pandemic until July 2020.

If everyone undertook those actions personal responsibility recommends, we'd quickly be self-quarantined, wipe down all public surfaces with bleach before we touch them, quit hugging and kissing, or shaking hands in greeting, and drop the R0 of this plague below 1 and end it quickly.

That's not gonna happen with people glued to the official (false) narrative on CNN, and a lot of statists are gonna die because of the fake news official channels pump them full of.

Thanks!
