Rationing sugar, corn oil and French fries might be the first great benefit of this disaster. Those markets have inadvertently discovered the cause of the vulnerabilities that sickened some from a routine respiratory virus -- immune suppression by bad diets. Maybe a few of them will begin to learn to maintain their own immune health, and to realize the government won't. I expect government subsidies to maintain the sickness. Our greatest pandemic is ignorance, and our worst virus is bureaucratic totalitarianism.
