History warns us: Crises like COVID-19 can give rise to great evil
Nothing is more dangerous than a mono-culture based on fear. When egalitarians, who enforce compliance by excommunication, become accepting of despots and hierarchs, those libertarians who resist can quickly be demonized. It is enough to not wear a mask to be considered evil.
Fear does not yield to truth easily. The latest fear is that there may be no immunity, that like every other Coronavirus (which includes rhinovirus - the commin cold), COVID 19 will not leave others immune. That the person cautioning us that immunity is possible is usually seen as an idiot does not help matters.
Worse, now that people are getting money to buy an ever-decreasing supply of goods and labor, hyperinflation could result, keeping fear alive. Unless the medical hierarchs get behind the concept that people getting well is a good thing, the ride could get very bumpy. Hierarchs, who compare COVID to Ebola, don't like to admit error. Not a good thing.
