Beware the ‘superflu’!

In case you’ve forgotten what the covid lockdown was like, the United Kingdom is here to remind you. Anticipating the worst flu season on record, the British government is calling for people to wear masks in public and even indoors. Some school systems have closed in “lockdown.” The government’s reaction to covid-19 was a serious self-inflicted disaster, from the economy to children’s social development to general health. Some want to go back to that, which is reminiscent of the prophecy about our societies in Isaiah 1:5: “the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.”
