There are a lot of lessons to be learned from any tragic happening, but the scale of this one is such that the lessons will be very significant to those that have to face this sort of thing in the new virus trouble or medical trouble that hits humans in about another one hundred years.
One of the first things I did at the beginning of 2020, when the first reports were coming out of China of trouble, was to study the Spanish flu trouble, and humans sure have gotten better at this stuff.
If this one had hit back then, we'd have been . . . well, it would have been even worse than the Spanish flu was.
By the way, folks, you best not think this is soon to be going away. Those variants we are starting to see, and the strength of some of them, scare me a whole bunch. This battle is far from over.
And there were a whole bunch of other lessons to be logged into our places of study from other events that took place in 2020.
Let's face it, folks, we can't toss history into some trash can like I see is in some video thingy up a few posts. That may look cute in a video, but it is not so smart. How about this - - - how many of you have studied/experienced the winter of '63 in the UK? Do you know how home building codes were changed because of that event? How your home is now safer because of that?
Let us see, - - - how about the lesson we learned in 2020 about aviation safety and new software related to aviation safety. You reckon that will allow for fewer lives lost in future years? You can bet your sweet bippy it will.
How many of you remember that "sweet bippy" expression? (Did I spell that correctly?)
