Yesterday, I posted something in the Dreamwidth "community journal", "Talk Politics" (https://talkpolitics.dreamwidth.org/).  The title of my new entry is "Natural Selection At Work?", and you can find it here: https://talkpolitics.dreamwidth.org/2190622.html.

If you aren't a regular reader of Talk Politics, I invite you to do one or both of the following: become one, and/or follow the link to read my entry.

It's actually about the social effects of the current pandemic.  The briefest of summaries:

If people don't believe in the dangerousness of the virus, and therefore defy or ignore social distancing regulations, those people are likely to die, of COVID-19, at a greater rate than other people.  If this happens widely enough, then it could have significant effects on social phenomena, such as election results.
