at some point I hope people recognise Covid for what it was, a painful stress test for institutions, most of which failed, (some of which performed admirably) and reorganise accordingly was not nearly as bad as it could have been, & not nearly as bad as I've feared. tho not over!

eventually another global devastation will occur, whether it be by our hands or beyond them; there is no doubt that in order for structures in our society or ourselves to find strength, they must be tested at the full extent.

I wonder about a somewhat less lethal virus with a longer presymptomatic period.

It still runs at tens of thousands of deaths a day. My personal view is that the development of medicines has been “sort of” a success. I’d like to work more on developing medicines in the future (IT-side). Would need more LINUX / UNIX though

I think that’s also a point. The virus is/was dangerous. It could have been much worse. Imagine if an Ebola got loose somehow. That would be just awful (ironically lethality is something that can halt a virus though like the first SARS).

harbinger of American and Western decline more broadly. I'm not convinced institutions have learned much of anything. bearish on the West/America

The median institution is certainly fucked
