@moshik_temkin Speaking as a neighborhood Covid medic in the trenches, whereas such disregard may well characterize our dominant biomedical response, therapeutic modalities which proved highly effective in the Spanish and 1889-90 Russian Flu, draw deeply upon experience of earlier pandemics.

@Aelkus I treat & regard influenza & Covid as serious diseases. Yet relative to the 1889-90 & 1918-20 pandemics, Covid is genuinely mild. What, then, explains our fierce terror about it? Life, modernism and us existentially revealed as lacking the security, order and control we imagine?
