We would have reacted more assertively because that would have been a much bigger problem. We're lucky it was this way.

- philosopher1234 5y agoYou give us too much credit. Hold the size of the problem constant and spread the effects to more demographics. I guarantee there would have been a bigger response. We’re not that rational.
- sweezyjeezy 5y agoI didn't necessarily mean a bigger death count, just a more equally distributed one (like the Spanish flu). I think the end outcome could have been better for all demographics, and the world would be further on the road to recovery. With Covid it was easy people to think it wasn't really a big deal, it reduced the appetite and compliance necessary to keep the pandemic contained.
