Just Discovered: Reactions. Countered the thumbs down with a thumbs up. And then some. The only thing I can think of as non-positive is that isn't this behavior by UK'ers (and Parisians, at one point, too) a Leslie of sorts?

It certainly is. [Great Plague of London - Exodus from the city](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great\_Plague\_of\_London#Exodus\_from\_the\_city)

The reason the government is not letting it happen (at least in some states) is that the cull would not be limited to the participants but will be further distributed into the others. Your idea would work if we could gather all of them into a single location (like, for example, Alabama) and not let them out to spread it after giving it to one another. However - if we could isolate them in a single location like that the problem wouldn't be a problem and innumerable other problems would dissipate, as well.

No, the real problem is that, with the exception of parts of the United States, Western governments have disarmed most law-abiding people. In the not-so-distant past, most law-abiding farmers also had shotguns, and you can be sure that they would be warning off any suspected plague-carriers from the cities.

Something similar was the master move in a book. If I recall correctly it was (translated back from spanish) "The mercenary" but I can't find it... first I thought it was Heinlein's, but no... Then I checked Pohl... no. Pity... you would like it for sure.

Yeah, let's concentrate all the stupid people with the wrong opinions into one place. Really can't see how that can go wrong.

That's a way of looking at it - a bit dark and sinister. On the other hand, maybe - just maybe - they'll all be in a state of delight that everyone around them agrees with them ! And when they do dangerous and stupid things that endanger both themselves and others, well, no one will complain. It's their right! And if they kill each other off - by accident or design - is that such an ethical tragedy?

Having just seen the footage of London's St. Pancreas Station last night as thousands of idiots decided to run away from the midnight Lockdown and take Covid with them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKNvOBB6u4Y[^] I think we need Christmas songs adapted to the New Normal. Here's some from me: Driving Home for Christmas (Covid or no Covid)[^] Christmas Eve Can Kill You[^]

We have here a couple of cities / towns where the crematories are overfilled although they are making double shifts each day. Even the bureaucrats have to work and do extra hours during Christmas break because without the deceasal certificate, the crematories can't do their job. Last year one binder was enough for 3 or 4 months... in dezember the binder was full by the 18th. And rate is increasing... Pity is... the dumbs and the nuts usually have more luck than they deserve

As I said to my son earlier today, these are the same idiots who behave idiotically in normal times. I had hoped that Covid would maybe act as a cull of this species, but the governments does not seem to want to let it.

If Covid kills idiots, then of course the politicians will try to stop it. :-D

Heinlein had a somewhat similar idea as "Coventry" in his future history, where people who cold not fit into society and who would not accept mental alteration were sent.

I don't think it was it. In the one I mean, the scene takes place in a football stadium. All those "insurgents" are taken there by the central char (supposedly a rebel too) and, when everybody is inside, the doors get closed and everyone inside gets killed. The descriptions are pretty graphical and the "speech" of the "betrayor" after that is... :omg: :omg: :omg: but on the same time it kind of makes sense in a macabre way. Short after the book ends. Nevermind...
