No, I’m not a doctor. I have zero medical knowledge. Fully acknowledged.
I am analysing the policy response to #coronavirus through the perspective of political and economic repercussions. And from THAT point of view, there is enormous benefit from imposing informal martial law, bankrupting and indebting the population, funneling public money into private sector giants, and inculcating in the society a sense of obsequious dread.
It should also be noted that the people who are making these policies are also not doctors, and that they are analysing the policies from the perspective of power.
