Lessee, novel airborne virus of unknown risk although initial indications were more aggressive and risky than a bad flu. No known cure. No known treatment. The words "reefer" and "hospital overflow" in the same sentences. Was it so bloody hard to, maybe, take some thought as to how one's actions might affect others?

I get that HN is a libertarian paradise and that hindsight is 20-20, but geez, are the people you see day-to-day that unreal to you?

People have super limited perspectives but also like to think they're somehow special and aren't limited like everyone else.

People literally just can't understand the perspectives of others in most situations

Certain people especially didn’t want to sacrifice when they became convinced the virus killed mostly POC, people with disabilities and older people.

I can’t discuss anything real with industry coworkers in a supposed blue job center. Anything slightly pro-person or pro-safety is received like radical leftism.

To give US-ians the correct perspective, radical left-wing isn't negotiating a countrywide price for drugs. It's nationalizing the pharmaceutical and biotech business.
