It might make this whole pandemic die down faster to let the virus spread amongst not-at-risk individuals, while the at risk individuals take precautions.

It'd be nice to see the world lose their shit over climate change like it has over this pandemic. COVID-19 won't be able to even come close to the number of deaths due to climate change. (If COVID-19 isn't already a component of climate change deaths.)

A fascinating #debate between the side arguing that we need to ditch #capitalism to mitigate #climatechange, and those arguing it needs deep reform.

Not going to spoil the result for those who want to tune in, but it's worth noting that neither side think business as usual would solve the problem. Especially US-style #cronycapitalism
