Thought of this subject while listening to criticism of China's "extreme" zero Covid policy. China has 1.4 B people and the WHO has China at 1.032 M cases (wow that seems low) and 15 K deaths. And politicians ruminate about being competitive with China? Think about what this means vis a vis long Covid.

Also: during the video the advice is to incentivize business to "be flexible" with people who suffer from long Covid. No. Absolutely not. They need to be told what they will do because otherwise, they won't do it. But still take the incentive. Let's not be naive.

Finally, the word is "overhaul" with respect to the disability system. Not hire lawyers. Scrap and rebuild. No time for putting lipstick on a pig.

I subscribe to your optimism and MMT expertise but our identity politics will continue to produce harmful policies and keep us from realizing the Great Society. Thank you so much. I will keep the Faith.
