What if you held a pandemic and no body came?

 That was stolen from an old anti-war quote, supposed penned by Leslie Parish: "what if they held a war and no one attended?"

That's Tamny's question. He's more sure of the answer than I am. However, I hope that some of us will remember how much extra damage was done by political over-reaction.

It is also fascinating to consider, following the yin yang that is inescapable in seemingly all things, that were we poorer and therefore dying younger, as people in this nation were 100 years ago, it is likely that no one would have noticed the virus.
