Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.The World would be different if we took a different view. Perhaps it's in our DNA to intervene because we feel that someone has to do something. I see a parallel between our approach to COVID and to corporations that become too big to fail.

Wouldn't you say everything has a life cycle? Nothing stays the same for very long. Even corporations too big to fail, nor sovereign nations.
@TimTuolomne Absolutely right, everything will eventually fail, however, things seem to fail sooner when cultures think that they can stop or control events, when they think that they can control future.
@ScottforKing, Interesting isn't it that Dr Ferguson revised the lethality of COVID-19 down by a factor of 10, he said, by adding consideration of the response of the civilized world?
