The urgency of this issue has caused a lot of the problem. It’s like suddenly discovering your house is on fire. Maybe you grab an extinguisher first, or maybe you grab the phone, or maybe you just run.
But you don’t do nothing. We are reacting in what seems like a prudent manner, with foresight. We don’t have a lot of hindsight, yet.
And thankfully people aren’t dropping dead on every corner, so maybe our actions are good, or maybe the bug isn’t as deadly as we think it might be.
