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 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.

On the other hand, as long as they’re still doing those brutal interventions, you’re in much better shape than if they tell you they’re going to “focus on keeping you comfortable”
