- As stated in [[id:e95386df-60ec-4028-b474-fbd0ccb1a713][The Coronavirus Called America's Bluff]] the United States has been
  woefully prepared to handle Covid-19

- Thinking on a run the other day, would the US be more ready for viral
  outbreaks if we didn't crush all minor outbreka-causing disease under our boot?

- Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong have handled Covid-19 very well. What do they
  have in common? SARS and MERS both hit them hard. They had experience.

- Ask any athlete and the single best thing you can do to get better is to
  perform the thing you need to do on demand over and over and over.

- What does a culture of prophylactic medicine get us? Utter horrible lack of
  preparedness.

- After the Apollo mission, US scientists forgot how to build big liquid rocket
  engines. New engineers were forced to reverse engineering existing engine
  relics to unlock knowledge that was lost because the Shuttle Launch System
  used totally different technology

- Is it possible that lack of familiarity with a thing, over time leads to
  incompetence when presented with it suddenly?

- What if there were still occasional, mostly non-life-threatening outbreaks of
  easily treat-able diseases?

- What if we knew how to social distance, or close a school without grinding our
  economy to a halt?
