re: #214 lawhawk

But this is the problem in the US that isn’t even political: enough people do not like looking at systems, and a math breakdown of pandemics is systemic analysis, so they shut it out.

They might worry about the injustice of whether they’ll get a bed, or someone they care about get a bed, but can’t acknowledge the relationship between the systemic failure—bed count—and the individual crisis, because they believe themselves to be the exception, the deserving party.

I mean, that’s what my conversations (that have gone bad) are like…”I better be well served, but it’s bullshit to talk about the larger logic of the situation.”
