Jeffrey Tucker explains the essence of the 'pandemic planning industry' and the rise of a corporate system in which big business and governments increasingly control people's daily lives.
The alert and competent specialists in Infectious Disease medicine knew about SARS and MERS and began to plan a variety of responses in the likely event that a worse and longer lasting outbreak of lethal infectious disease was possible and given time, likely.
What interests me most in these paranoid fantasies about the time when their expert knowledge turned out to be true is that we all underestimated just how much the human race is a social species and just how crazy so many would become by having to deal with quarantine, physical distancing and isolation. I have noted that when one of my cows gets separated from the herd it becomes aroused and fearful and desperately seeks to run to rejoin it. The exact same thing happens with my goats; stops eating, searches all around bleating and tense and full speed running to where it thinks the others might be.
I thought better of humans, how wrong I was and I suppose part of that is because I was bullied, adjusted to being alone and adapted to enjoy my own company in peace and quiet.
We healthcare and political people will have to adjust our responses taking this into account.
Scotland is really going downhill at the moment, in Ireland the government's pursuit of tougher 'hate crime' legislation is on pause for the moment. Hopefully indefinitely.

Poor pathetic little sheep!
It's nicely written but very long for this complex problem to be described.
Thanks for pointing out an obvious paradox :)
Welcome, it´s my hobby to point to paradoxes in this interesting covid-corruption times =)
Keep up this challenging hobby!
