Krátky popis
A virus is not human, but the reaction to it is a measure of
humanity. America has not measured up well. Tens of thousands are
dead for no reason.America is supposed to be about freedom, yet
illness and fear make its citizens less free. After all, freedom is
meaningless if we are too ill to think about our right to happiness
or too weak to pursue it. So, if a government is making its people
unhealthy it is also making them unfree.On December 29, 2019,
Timothy Snyder fell gravely ill. As he clung to life he found
himself reflecting on the fragility of health, not recognized in
America as a human right, but without which all rights and freedoms
have no meaning. And that was before the pandemic.We have since
watched understaffed and undersupplied hospitals buckling under
waves of coronavirus patients. The federal government made matters
worse through wilful ignorance, misinformation, and profiteering.
This passionate intervention outlines the lessons we must all
learn, wherever we are, and finds glimmers of hope in dark
times.Only by enshrining healthcare as a human right, elevating the
authority of doctors and truth, and planning for our children's
future, can everyone be properly free. Freedom belongs to
individuals. But to be free we need our health, and for our health
we need one another.
