Let's overcome this virus first? We normally don't do root cause analysis during an outage in IT do we?

If the root cause of an IT outage in one place can be used to help prevent the outage from occurring elsewhere, yes.

Your personal relationship to this is entirely understandable, but not a sufficient reason to not focus on root causes where they first occurred.

I mean we can do 2 things at once. Its like when there is a mass shooting and when someone suggests gun control as a solution the other side yells that people just died and their families are grieving and this is no time to be discussing taking guns away.

Then it happens again...
