Hmmm, as a child I remember having drills practicing


that well established method of protecting oneself by getting under our desk in the event of a nuclear attack. Here we are 50 years later with the doomsday clock closer to midnight than ever and we have no real plan. What about the cyber attack that would wipe out all our infrastructure in an instant? Or a plan for ordinary citizens in the event of an EM attack (the most important of all since it would render social media inert). Last but not least, a real bio-weapon unleashed that of which would make ebola look like acid re-flux. Would you say they were warnings that are going unheeded? Not trying to make light of the current situation but this is an unprecedented event at least in terms of transmission rates. Maybe we screwed the pooch, certainly the Chinese did.
