I recently learned a rule of thumb: a day in the ICU translates to a week in recovery. The west has been in the ICU for 3 years, we’re talking about 21y of recovery already If you think that’s an over-estimate, the former USSR has still not recovered from ICU years (1988-92)

The human body is a finely tuned and delicate piece of equipment. It’s not built to withstand such brutal intervention for long. We rely on our brains to create a narrow comfort range around ourselves.

The body politic is also the same. QE is like ventilator support Oxygen is reliable news Pressure regulation is logistics Etc etc. Not a fan of social organism metaphors for advanced stuff but at ICU first principles level it seems to work.
