Using two movies — one dystopian, one a historical docudrama — as metaphors of the COVID-19 response, the American Institute for Economic Research aptly calls attention to the “idiocracy” of health and government officials who are handling the pandemic by experimenting with theories and models, rather than implementing realistic solutions.
Whether you agree with this thought-provoking commentary or not, it’s worth taking a look at the “few courageous governors” who so far have refused to follow the COVID-19 mob, and to take notice of those who are crying “enough” during this disturbing time.
