the u.s. virus response feels so much like our response to gun violence. seems easy to prevent! others have! but it& #39;s not & #39;who we are.& #39; a certain idea of freedom makes it impossible. so we move on and just learn to accept a level of human loss that other countries won& #39;t tolerate.

i imagine that we& #39;ll just (the WH leak just now seems to suggest this too) get used to a certain number of deaths happening as we do w/ gun violence/school shootings. & we& #39;ll hang our heads when it happens and do thoughts & prayers for families and hope it doesn& #39;t come OUR way
