We will sign declarations that we will not sue anyone or claim on anyone’s insurance if we catch Covid-19. Trains can have special ‘relaxed’ carriages where refreshments are served and baleful, doom-laden announcements are turned off. Since I regard these muzzles as deeply distressing symbols of servile submission to unreasoning power, I face a very unpleasant choice. In many important ways, it becomes more obvious by the day that this country is no longer really free. And when we go bankrupt, which I think will be soon, this will matter even more than it does now.
