But capitalism is libertarian. (And pure capitalism doesn't work.) "Free market forces will solve the virus!" Yeah, right.
You need an educated well off society that doesn't have massive socioeconomic class disparities for true Libertarianism to work. United States as it is now isn't that society.

Speaking of capitalism and the virus . . . WWCD? Capitalism would . . . seek to monopolize PPE, pharma, and caregiving markets make prices of tests and vaccines as high as possible prefer expensive vaccines over cheap masks oppose mask rules for customers of businesses open schools so workers can go back to making profits for bosses not give government loans to businesses I think these are all bad qualities of capitalism, which we are wise to resist.
