  • “Disease is the newest excuse for segregation” – “The notion that separation is safer than integration is dangerous and contrary to the good life as we’ve come to understand it over half a millennium,” writes Jeffrey A. Tucker for AIER
  • “The Texas Neanderthals were right” – Texas governor Greg Abbott ended the state’s mask mandate in early March and since then cases, hospitalisations and deaths have all plummetted, Sean Collins reports in Spiked
