Human Control Rods vs Nuclear Fission COVID
We have learned about atomic fission with too many sad lessons and more to come. If you raise the reactor control rods too high, the reaction heats up or may go out of control. Lower the control rods to slow or stop the fission. You must have the right sensors and data and analysis to get and keep a balance to keep the energy flow at optimum levels. You also need ongoing studies with maintenance of all of the important systems.
COVID is much the same. COVID can also exhibit exponential growth. Too much too fast has been the result.
We were not prepared.
We denied the threat too long.
We delayed the proper control rods
We have not had the best information or analysis or maintenance.
We did not believe those who had the expertise that we needed most.
We set up control rods and took them away too soon.
COVID Is Here to Stay
Yes we need to open businesses and schools - but not until we have a much better idea with regard to the proper settings despite changing environments, situations, and conditions.
We still need to avoid overwhelming the health care resources and teams.
We can learn, but the question is, will we learn. And the biggest question is
