Show Notes

The lack of adequate response by so many governments to the pandemic, even when plenty of positive and negative examples were already available from other countries that have been impacted before them, is a sign that maybe the mental models that are applied to the decision making are inadequate.

The pandemic is not merely exponential.

As it is impacting with its assault on multiple supporting infrastructural elements of a community, region, a nation, the cumulative effect has an increasing acceleration, and it is jolting.

The governments that work well in other scenarios can’t function when it is pushed beyond the limits of its adaptability and of the individuals that compose them.
