David Leonhardt is ~15 years younger than Friedman and Brooks. They are dipshit generalists and he's just a dipshit covid specialist but I do believe he could come into his own in the very near future.

    yeah, masks are basically completely useless at stopping you from getting covid, everyone should wear masks so they don't spread the disease to other people

    on one hand, it baffles me how many people don't understand this simple fact, but on the other hand if everyone knew that then everyone would immediately stop wearing masks so it's better this way

      How the hell can anything get done in a country where the attitude is "caring is for losers"?
