On my other email list these days I've been talking less about what's been done to the young -- which is criminal
enough -- and more about what's being done to the old.
And people keep writing to me with ever more examples.
Thus, from just now:
"Tom, a friend in England told me about a friend of hers, Becky, who lives here in America. At the height of the crisis, Becky's grandparents on her father's side, in England, were BOTH dying. One of COVID, the other of cancer. Becky is here in America, can't get there without quarantining first, and her father lives in France, also unable to go.
"So Becky's grandparents died alone, in separate facilities. They were married for however long, lets say 60 years, raised a family together, grandkids, a lifetime together, and they died separately, ALONE, unable to hold the hand of the person they shared their life with because of a [expletive] bureaucrat who made a decision to do a lockdown. It's shameful what is being done to the elderly."
The same kind of person who would issue orders like this is now in charge of how -- or whether -- you work.
If there's a way not to let that happen, we ought to figure out how.
Here's one tried-and-true way:
