Similarly, I think of it as your point 1 plus no practice. It’s nearly impossible to prepare for something and get it right when it’s never actually happened.

It’s nearly impossible to prepare for something and get it right when it’s never actually happened. Rockets for example get massive amounts of study and simulations and then still get things wrong.
Yes, sometimes you get lucky, but this is also dealing with human behavior and biology. Less predictable than say, computers.
- nopzor 6y agothis is a good point, but a lot of what the cdc is/has prepared for in these kind of situations is related to human psychology, and trying to factor that in to their plans.
- orev 6y agoThe human behavior factor has changed dramatically with the introduction of social media. People react very differently to information when it’s a constant unfiltered stream, when in the past it was more of a daily update of (somewhat) vetted information. Social science is still grappling with how social media has affected human behavior.
