The Lockdown and the Modern Moloch

Date: 2020-05-22

The COVID-19 lockdown has helped stem the amount of cases across the country – but it came at the cost of a functioning economy. This has left both Canada and the U.S. in a divisive struggle of when is the right time to re-open. Some of the more extreme proponents of lifting the lockdown argued that deaths were justified if it meant keeping the economy going… which is why I call this movement the “Modern Moloch”.
