        For example Policymaker: If a woman delivers in the hospital and tests COVID positive, she cannot see her baby for 14 days. Women: Um. Fuck that, I'm delivering at home. Policymaker: NO, DON'T, THAT DOES NOT SOLVE THE CORE PROBLEM https://directorsblog.nih.gov/2020/07/30/what-we-know-about-covid-19s-effects-on-child-and-maternal-health/ …

        The policymakers didn't recognize that, to the women delivering, the core problem was the idea that they could take her newborn baby away for 2 weeks They've revised their guidance, but I'm not sure if they did it b/c of new info or b/c they don't want people delivering at home

        Of course all those outside protesters with masks might have lower cases in May and early June with the same logic. (TBH I have no idea and suspect there were cases spread with protesters.)

        I don't think it's all blindness. Some of it wanting to have an answer to, "What are you doing about..."

        I find this to be true about policies in all sorts of areas, but especially tax.
