[Responding to news about the lambda variant of the covid-19 virus...]

"This is a global pandemic, we live in a global pandemic

"By outbidding and buying up all the doses they could rich countries have ensured poor countries remain variant factories

"I don't need self-interest to motivate me to do what's right but in this case they line up

"We need to stop pretending that we don't all live together on one planet

"We can't address pandemics with nationalism anymore than we can climate catastrophe

"It is only by acting in community that we can move forward"

The advice, being sensible, will continue to be defied by the self-defined "great and good".

Of course, red states are setting up to be variant factories, too, since they spurn teh ebbil vaxx. Or some such argle-bargle. And even some in my family are singing that song. :(

Of course, high income countries would really like it if all the poors would stay home and stop trying to immigrate to countries where they can be safe or even - gasp! - make more money.
