Cures, Quacks, and Miracles

Send us Fan Mail GEORGE (quiet): Now When people get scared, they don’t only ask, “What is happening?” They ask, “What can I do?” And if the honest answer is “not much,” we don’t accept it. We reach for something—anything— a charm, a potion, a ritual, a headline, a miracle. Isn't that true Master Shakespeare? WILL (dry): Yes, Humanity’s oldest hobby: bargaining with reality. GEORGE: Today: cures, quacks, and miracles— plague time versus COVID time— not as medical instructions, but as a portrait of the human mind under pressure.
