The last two months was wasted by the Western World

We all arm chaired laughed, ridiculed, criticized what was happening in China and Far East and blamed their government or cultural or worse.

But if you were an engineer/scientist you could argue this was all predictable and what we could have done.

Ramp up facilities, start ramping supply stockpile, start draconian isolation before it got here. Of course all evidence suggest we'd have to have started that in January given how connect, but the reaction around the world today is like closing the barn door after all the animals have escaped.

Like many here I travel as part of work, my son does as well. He was pulled back with the China thing, my company was clear anyone ill no going to work either sick leave or WFH and self quarantine. But a self quarantine seems to be very personal value, look what happened at Dartmouth with that guy.

Now trust in our million year Darwin natural selection/evolution that the robust will come out of it!
