I think we could have delayed it, not avoided it.
Every super power and great empire ever has eventually fallen.

Flu has overwhelmed hospitals.
And SARS-Cov-2 isn't the same coronavirus we first came in contact with. It mutates, remember?
So, shouldn't it be something like SARS-Cov-2.3 or something?
It’s not a fucking flu. Three times as many people died in New York City in April than any other month in the history of the city. What the fuck is your problem?

The virus leaves behind permanent organ damage in many cases, so death isn't the only negative result from getting it. Why is that so hard to understand for so many people?

Won't argue with that. I suppose my point is us fucking it up was inevitable.
Everyone fucks it up eventually. In large part because they don't adapt, or adapt correctly, with the changing times.

It’s almost like it’s wired into our dna. I wouldn’t say the fault would be failure to adapt though, it seems like it has more to do with corruption and just bad decisions in general. Entirely avoidable, but as they say one bad apple spoils the whole bunch.
It’s not to late. We could pull out of this and shine brighter than we ever have. Do you think we will or do you think we’ll still bicker over the same old shit and run it into the ground?

I wasn't responding to you, so what the fuck is your problem?
9 out of 10 people put on ventilators died. Can anyone imagine if this had not been done?
How many lives were lost due To maltreatment?
Remember, DNR orders were put in place.
Just watching people die with no effort in saving lives.

The Italian researchers’ findings, published by the INT’s scientific magazine Tumori Journal, show 11.6% of 959 healthy volunteers enrolled in a lung cancer screening trial between September 2019 and March 2020 had developed coronavirus antibodies well before February.

I had hoped that we would see the light.
But I kinda lost that hope with how recent events have been turning out. Now my primary hope is that it gets bad enough where we have no choice but to have a revolution (on some terms) and get rid of the bad eggs and the bad systems/policies that enabled them. And tuned others to be like them.
And that we manage to do it without further shooting ourselves in the foot.
People didn't realize how bad California's drought and fire problems could be until they not only happened but nearly got as bad as they could. And I would argue we still haven't enough. It probably won't be until alot more people lose theirs lives and homes and ability to function without water that major intervention will come.
But yeah I agree that it wasn't just adapting that was our problem. I would say alot of the corruption issues is in part an adapting issue because the people have never been more informed or capable of being a democracy than we are right now and we still function as a 19th century republic.

Btw I will dump the thread and hand out infractions if we can't be remotely civil.
This is just a message board on the internet with random casual people.
I know it's a sensitive topic. I very well do.
So please don't make it worse by being assholes to each other.

All complex systems are inherently fragile. Economies, governments, empires, lean supply chains, all those shits.
The Soviets had decentralized food production systems where every city locally produced enough food staples of wheat, potatoes, cabbage and meat for most of it's own consumption. It is the most expensive way you can produce food for a population, but it makes for a robust system. If one area has bad weather or a blight, the neighbouring cities can provide for it. If you have all your slaughter houses in massive facilities a small area of the country you will have the cheapest cost to meat, but it is much more fragile of a system.
Global lean supply chains are under the microscope now as the idea that boarders can close and production shuttered for months was previously unthinkable.

There seems to be an issue with a take the money and run mindset. We’re not leaving the next few generations in line much to work with. Again, avoidable through making the proper choices. Run away appetites and whatnot..

Europe might grow more GDP than the USA for the first time in decades.
America was bound to lose its super power status sooner or later. It does seem like the virus and the federal government's bungling of it will hasten that.

I have literally spent 10 minutes trying to figure out how to make sense of this post and I cant
all I can say people who put in DNRs don't want to be saved. that's why they are DNR

It’s one of his more facepalm inducing posts.
Also, I don’t believe there’s a significant amount of malpractice contributing to covid related deaths in the hospitals...out of the over 100k deaths in the USA - it’s no where near significant enough to even take the comment seriously ... idk why so many people on these boards believe medicine practitioners are evil or - enough so that they condemn the whole of it. Somehow growing mushrooms or taking drugs makes them experts on whose an expert in medicine & whose not? 
So much of it reads like a highschooler who is just learning that the world isn’t a Disney movie.

literally everything that can be done is being done to save the lives of people with covid who don't have DNRs in this country. they are busting out the fucking ECMOs for crying out loud. it is not even always because it is philosophically "right", but sometimes just because of liability 
dude has been sending me PMs like "y'all dont use hydroxycloroquine anymore??? well you are KILLING PATIENTS" because xyz doctor's anecdote says so
