[Hugh Dierker <hdierker2204@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here is an example of containment of a major virus.

It is a proactive stance, with a decent public relations exploitation (ie marketing).
Tourism is up. Confidence is up. And investment is up. Providing for security, reliability and accessibility creates an environment for health- as in economic prosperity. Every time we do something well we create infusion of capital, thereby creating more jobs and increasing a standard of living for dotcommoners.
 
My father, Dr. Dierker spent a lifetime in public health, assistant deputy surgeon general under president Johnson, Ivory coast liason for health and Native American coordinator for health services, and Public Health Director for Coconino County.
But I will be doggoned if about 15 years ago he did not publish an article in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggesting that maybe allowing the thinning of the herd just might be the most natural and wise thing. Natural selection. Allowing those that are feable and feable minded to die. Rather Darwinian.
 
Perhaps spreading viruses is productive. It keeps the less intelligent out of the gene pool of the internet.


OTOH perhaps not. You see that same father saved me during childbirth and then adopted me. A surgeon committed to saving life and then providing for it. 

Choices and responsibility.
