Wow. Those examples of such drastic virus dial offs were stunning. I never heard of those histories before

I thought this article was dense with twigs of information to follow with much to learn. But there is a limit to what casual blog (or newsletter) readers will take the energy to pursue, I have learned in twenty years. Then I need to remember that I put them before readers because the main reader is ME, and organizing to publish is kind of like preparing to teach: the teacher gains the most from the lecture in the end. Apart from the epidemiological history in this piece, it points the way to "future wisdom" that seems so crucial to surviving and thriving in an increasingly complex world at risk of collapsing under its own weight of accumulated ignorance, indifference and neglect.
