It looks like cases are declining anyway.

Why is arizona's curve look like california's curve when response is so different?

Why don't we require all electronic voting to be done with open source hardware and software for true end to end auditability and transparency?

Hence require open source. It isn't about being commercially viable, if not providing an open source product means it isn't commercially viable.

Open source hardware and software is the only way to rid ourselves of accusations that are made about voting machines like we saw in 2020.

And it isn't an entirely baseless fear. We do know software is often compromised, and we even know hardware is often compromised.

The most secure software in the world is open source, and the best way to build forward with secure voting software with rich features is to ensure everyone can develop on a common base.

I agree with quite a bit of this, though I'm not sure about commutes between the bay and L.A.. I'm going to guess you meant commutes in those areas, not between them.

I digress. You point is heard, that we have lots of hypocrisy, self righteousness, and magical thinking.

One of the best studies I've seen claims GDP and freedom are more predictive of covid-19 spread than most of the things we talk about.

If you run the numbers, without a vaccine we will eventually have millions of deaths over the years. We might anyway if covid-19 mutates like the flu.

We do need an economy. It's why we tolerate risk. This is another by risk. The question is how to balance the economy and risk.
