Hello, Welcome to Known Unknowns, a newsletter about what keeps us safe—and how to keep it that way. Yes, institutions are holding Americans—actually, everyone all over the world, it seems—are unhappy. We’ve just experienced months of shutdowns that curtailed our lives and put many of our basic freedoms on hold. We were fed confusing, contradictory information, and the government bungled many aspects of the pandemic. I think that as time goes on, and we learn more, we’ll be even more outraged about what has happened. I hope we’ll be somewhat charitable and remember the chaos and uncertainty, which meant that no government response would have been perfect—except maybe that of Iceland.
