11/ Denmark’s schedule reflects Denmark’s epidemiology, housing density, healthcare access, and outbreak history. Ours reflects ours. Pointing to another country’s shorter list without grappling with U.S. disease burden and downstream costs isn’t is ideological cherry-picking.

It’s nice to see the bad guys lose once a while. Kinda gives me hope that we can maybe do it on more public levels.
