Humans don’t understand exponential growth. But they could look at China and Italy and think - those guys are the same as us. We are not special. The same thing that is happening to them is going to happen unless we act now.

The real sad part of all this is that this is simply human nature. And we are next gonna go down the same path with climate change. And then not even lock downs will help.

The German press was explaining Italy all week... mostly trying to explain how it's all different.

Having seen the cutting of rural hospitals over the last two decades it will be a shitshow
