Excuse my bitterness, also to media who pooh-poohed those of us who were alarmed in Jan/Feb and lectured us about the seasonal flu. We already knew our government was likely going to fail us but all the other institutions that should have helped us save ourselves failed us, too.

I’m also still angry about that. But media and people in general have no capability to really think about these things. It’s hard to blame them. You can’t just make people get smarter.
