The Perpetual Covid Crisis

Democrats are applauding Mr. Biden, but imagine if Donald Trump had attacked Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's lockdown as "Neanderthal thinking."

Hospitalizations in Texas have fallen more than 60% since a mid-January peak.

Politicians created a box canyon with lockdowns last spring that were originally intended to "Flatten the curve." But then every time governors loosened restrictions and cases ticked up, Democrats would demand lockdowns.

Vaccines were supposed to enable Americans more or less to get back to their before-Covid lives-youth sports, eating out, family gatherings, and even walking outside without a mask.

Some lockdown advocates are warning that myriad new gene variants may be more infectious-though it's unclear if they are-and could render vaccines less effective.

This eternal public health crisis is unsustainable politically and economically.

Behold how the Covid crisis bleeds into a climate crisis.
