The Ohio election story is disturbing and precisely why giving in to panic helps potentially really bad actors.

Posted by JackDawson (aka dawson) Mar 17 '20, 02:58

Coronavirus isn’t going to wipe away humanity, it’s not the virus from outbreak or world war z

It’s an infectious disease that will be horrible for a portion and truly fatal for an even smaller, unfortunate other few

Humans make decisions about who lives and days for the greater good, every single day in every chapter of organized human history

Locking down places is necessary to curb the spread of disease and to protect certain vulnerable populations (at the expense of others) but it is not for the survival of the human race or of civilization

If we don’t understand it as such and give in to politically or personally motivated instincts towards panic, Mike DeWine and people like him win

The idea that we cant conduct an election in safety under these conditions is ludicrous. As Reagan pointed out, we had one during a civil war.

Responses:

Yeah. Elections are probably the important thing we do as a society (the census is #2 - be sure to complete if you haven’t!), you can’t fuck with them -- nm - Don Homer Mar 17, 03:42 1
- Yup. But to accept the notion that we can conduct it safely we have to accept the notion that we can leave the house safely which right now is not - JackDawson Mar 17, 03:50
