Separating politics & administration doesn’t lead to rational governance. We spent a c. building up our expert-led bureaucracy that prides itself on supposedly rational administration, but reactions to virus have been contradictory, arbitrary, & seem unrelated to facts or reason.

At any one time, take feds or administration in any one state and look to their recs given the situation. Someone should make a sliding timeline of this in the future. Masks, no masks. Outside, inside. Weed & booze sales in small stores open, parks and churches closed. Etc, etc.

I don’t even try to make sense of policies or thresholds for reopening at this point. There is no sense to be made. “Science” has become another word for “magic” or a magic word intended to justify “this one thing I made up.” There are no chains of causality anymore in all this.
