Not to mention coordination to source masks and hack ventilators and stuff. And for those on Twitter, 1-4 weeks early warning. At the level intelligence committees were getting. You could have dumped stock and bought puts like senators. Not to mention lots of toilet paper.

I just bought an oculus quest. This is the answer. In 10 years we’d better have a strategic stockpile of VR headsets too not just ventilators. And a VR backup of entire world to live in while Covid29 happens. Including all public spaces. Alt earth. Pre-distanced mirror world.

I would argue that US tech sector has whiffed on two core specific responses (tracking, tests) and unintentionally laid foundation for the third (social isolation / remote coordination). Asian tech sectors seem to have done better with tracking and tests

Pats on the back and Attaboys will come later. Right now they’re being reserved for Doctors, nurses, grocery workers, warehouse workers and aid organizations. You know, the ones on the front line not getting paid enough who can’t work from home.

social media/gaming saving lives is a huge stretch. I would argue just FaceTiming/zoom are the life savers. There’s a big difference between curbing 2020 boredom and attention spans vs. socializing with loved ones, and fulfilling an innate human need.
