I send this out not to intensify the general panic (as if that’s possible), or to deepen anyone’s despair. On the contrary: I send it with the same motive that drove Orwell to write 1984: that is, as a warning of what will go down if we do nothing to prevent it.
Exactly what it is that we might do, when we’re all “sheltering in place,” with public gatherings verboten, and all of our communications are exquisitely surveilled, I have no idea. But that’s another matter.
