The coronavirus pandemic is one of the most significant facts that has happened on a global scale in many years.

Death Fugue

Black milk of morning we drink you evenings
we drink you at noon and mornings we drink you at night
we drink and we drink
A man lives in the house he plays with the snakes he writes
he writes when it darkens to Deutschland your golden hair Margarete
he writes and steps in front of his house and the stars glisten and he whistles his dogs to come
he whistles his jews to appear let a grave be dug in the earth
he commands us play up for the dance

Black milk of dawn we drink you at night
we drink you mornings and noontime we drink you evenings
we drink and we drink
A man lives in the house he plays with the snakes he writes
he writes when it turns dark to Deutschland your golden hair Margarete
Your ashen hair Shulamit we dig a grave in the air there one lies at ease

He calls jab deeper into the earth you there and you other men sing and play
he grabs the gun in his belt he draws it his eyes are blue
jab deeper your spades you there and you other men continue to play for the dance

Black milk of dawn we drink you at night
we drink you at noon we drink you evenings
we drink you and drink
a man lives in the house your golden hair Margarete
your ashen hair Shulamit he plays with the snakes

He calls out play death more sweetly death is a master from Deutschland
he calls scrape those fiddles more darkly then as smoke you’ll rise in the air
then you’ll have a grave in the clouds there you’ll lie at ease

Black milk of dawn we drink you at night
we drink you at noon death is a master from Deutschland
we drink you evenings and mornings we drink and drink
death is a master from Deutschland his eye is blue
he strikes you with lead bullets his aim is true
a man lives in the house your golden hair Margarete
he sets his dogs on us he gifts us a grave in the air
he plays with the snakes and dreams death is a master from Deutschland

your golden hair Margarete
your ashen hair Shulamit

It’s anti-significant. It’s an excuse to stagnate and decay. We literally shut down our society public life. It’s now official. We live in the most inert, static, and mundane time in all of human history. What are your going to write about? Nothing happened. The number went up on the screen. That’s it. I’ve heard people comparing this to like the lost years of authors who went off to world wars as young men and delayed their careers by years and that’s just so absurd. There will be nothing good or great to come out of this.

You're lucky. The ugly things you people saw are nothing compared to those that are taking place in the pigsty where I live.

And in our case, it was not the lack of public money, but the incompetence (low IQ and cariousness) of the government that broke out in a catastrophe.

>of a disease with a 99% survival rate

Take a look at the number of death cases:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_by_country_and_territory

Also:

"The severity of COVID-19 varies. The disease may take a mild course with few or no symptoms, resembling other common upper respiratory diseases such as the common cold. In 3–4% of cases (7.4% for those over age 65) symptoms are severe enough to cause hospitalization."

Not to mention that even a 1% death rate means millions of deaths. For Germany, for example, this would be twice their military losses in WW2.

It is death when your country is ruled by corrupt idiots who let the health care system - and a well-equipped and capable health care system - collapse.

People die, big thing.
They could have had other hillness, being weakened or directly dying from them.
I know a lot of people died of something else and were said (by order of the government) to have died of covid. So you are never sure of the numbers (that are already low in fact, do you know the flu kills people too ?)

I'll be honest, I kind of didn't mind the initial lockdown because I actually got some really good work done. Being cooped up at home for six weeks caused me to start working seriously on a big project of mine that I'd been meaning to work on for a long time. Fortunately, that motivation has been retained as things have gotten back to normal.

So I'm honestly grateful for the (brief) lockdown I endured. Fortunately I also live in Texas, where we've basically been open uninterrupted since June of last year. So I've had an easier time of it than a lot of people.
