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!

we should be very alarmed at how well we did, a more lethal virus with similar spread characteristics would be devastating, such a virus is not beyond top labs worldwide. or in creatures of factory farming, or the wild. another pandemic is inevitable! need an epistemic upgrade

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).

it's the delayed incubation time that's the big problem. can still spread before it incapacitates.
