It's okay to be afraid – fuck, I'm terrified. We all deserve so much better than we're getting in this moment.

But there are actual experts, speaking clearly & honestly, sharing the best available scientific evidence with us. So it's not okay to spread baseless fearmongering.
SARS-CoV-2 is an extremely serious threat. But the virus itself *can* be defeated. And we know that's true because we've seen other countries do it: South Korea used widespread testing, widespread #PPE (including getting masks to everyone), and widespread physical distancing
Instead of spinning fantasies about an unbeatable borg-like virus that will adapt to every counter-measure we deploy, how about we actually work on deploying the public health counter-measures that have been *proven* to work? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/01/opinion/covid-face-mask-shortage.html
