Bohu and Tohu return from the wilderness
to hear "a modest proposal"
TOHU: Bohu, we’re not going to die, are we?
BOHU: Don’t be silly, Tohu. We’re safe, at home.
TOHU: But they’re saying if we stay at home our way of life will be ruined and that
some people will need to die for us to get back to business. Who will decide
who gets to die?
BOHU: They'll take volunteers, Tohu.
TOHU: Like the army?
BOHU: Dan Patirck and Brit Hume have already signed on.
TOHU: What if enough people don't sign up? Will there be a draft?

BOHU: Not sure, Tohu. Maybe they'll create Death Panels.
TOHU: That sounds scary, Bohu.
BOHU: Don’t be silly, Tohu. They will base their decisions on measurable factors
like general productivity, age, and underlying conditions that put people at greater
risk of the COVID-10 infection.
Basically, people who are, have been, or will be a burden on society
are the most expendable and will be the first to go.

TOHU: You mean people who are homeless, people who live with disabilities or
pre-existing conditions, inmates, families in cages, asylum seekers and other
illegals, those on welfare or hospice, the retired, stay-at-home parents, people
under long-term care, and journalists?

BOHU: It’s that, or a random lottery. But that only happens in science fiction.
TOHU: How many will need to die for us to get back to normal?
BOHU: Tohu, the term is, “Acceptable Losses.”
TOHU: Bohu, do you think we'll be acceptable?
BOHU: While not necessarily following the "modest proposal" scenario, President Trump, in a
press briefing on Sunday March 29, 2020 stated that if the COVID-19 U.S. death toll reached
100,000 - 200,000 it would signal that "we all together have done a very good job."
TOHU: If 100,000 - 200,000 deaths is a success, what number would be "acceptable?"
BOHU: In reality, NONE! At the onset of the Ebola virus spreading in 2014, Donald Trump
tweeted that "If this doctor, who flew so recklessly into New York ... has Ebola then Obama
should apologize to the American people and resign!" Before there was even one confirmed
case of the Ebola virus on American soil!!
*The words Bohu and Tohu are derived from Hebrew characters found in the creation story. These characters are frequently translated as "Formless and Void" and describe the vast and empty emptiness of the earth prior to the acts of creation. I imagine the personifications of these characters have been around for at least that long, too.
