To be clear, these people have no credibility with me already - but your confidence in hindsight as to the obviousness of the current predicament in late Feb/early March is not one I share.
- Robotbeat 7y agoIt was clear to me around February 20-22nd or so that we had a significant chance of a Wuhan-like situation. I put my money where my mouth was by going to the store and buying (a single but large container of) hand sanitizer and non-perishable food at that time (I didn’t hoard, but did buy ahead of time... before everyone else, thus giving the logistics system time to restock for everyone else). It’s not mere hindsight.
- mellosouls 7y agoGood for you - but it wasn't to me, and I'm not daft; neither was it clear to the leaders of most countries (going by their actions), and I'm sure many other people - including those criticised in the original blog post.
