And for those following along about Covid, I recommend reading an excellent recent commentary in Nature titled: “Pandemics disable people — the history lesson that policymakers ignore“
Covid has been described elsewhere as a “mass disabling event”. For those of you who read or watched the movie Awakenings, that was a (still poorly understood) consequence of the Spanish Flu pandemic. Too little attention is being paid right now to how we will handle the large numbers of people being disabled by Covid infections.
