I feel like I did in February and March 2020, only this time, it's about the war in Iran rather than a novel virus. Big things are coming, and too few care to acknowledge or believe it.

In February and March 2020, I was one of a few people warning what the “novel coronavirus” was about to do. People wouldn't (or couldn't) listen because no one could conceive of businesses closing, conferences canceled, or hospitals bursting.

While I did my first Covid-induced major shopping haul for basic foodstuff around 20 Feb 2020, I have the impression that this current crisis shouldn't last as long. Because it can be influenced by people.

Maybe that's just my naive hope.

@knud @augieray the covid crisis was most certainly influenced by people! I’m referring to we collectively responded (not suggesting any lab leak BS)

Yes, it was, but even optimal decisions would still have led to a long line of follow-up impact, mainly because the virus doesn't just go away.

Here, the whole shipping could start again within an hour, as would bombing crucial infrastructure.
