The introduction was chilling.
How do the preparations for the next big San Andreas earthquake compare to those that were (or should have been) made for Covid-19? What else do we need to build for something like that?
The impact of the two seem quite similar: at best, stuck at home on a dwindling pile of food that can be replenished sporadically every two weeks while you try to make a living online. Covid-19 didn’t take out physical infrastructure, but decimating the workforce has had a similar effect, and knock on effects are real (how do I service a broken car during lockdown?)
The two big takeaways from Covid-19 for me were: have better food security at home, and invest in a home grade wireless internet connection. I’d probably think carefully about exposure to natural disasters too, the next time I move.
