This was me. This was my screwup. Can others own their’s?

For the life of me I could not then...and can’t even now...make sense of this reverse Mongolian clusterf*ck. I still don’t get it. It (virus + response) still doesn’t add up.

I’m usually early. This time not. I’m sorry.
I will say this in my own defense: I knew that I never had a lock on this. I had inklings early on but no more. My experience with the inklings was that it was actually easier to talk about this as a major threat in late Jan/early Feb. Then, weirdly, it became harder socially.
It was as if sometime in mid or late February to early March there was a new official counter push to deliberately downplay the virus in an attempt to stop any negative economic impact. Something like that anyway. I have no evidence for this. This is simply how I experienced it.
But as a result I became quite unsure of myself. I was never tracking this closely early on & the gross level of malpractice everywhere (e.g. dumping your stocks after briefings) wasn’t something I could easily imagine. Too close to negligent homicide & wrongful death to believe.
