Wars are usually fought against adversaries that are also humans. So the strategies and tactics that have been developed are tied to human behavior.
There are some strategies and tactics that are independent of human behavior and are useful for any adversary. Can you identify which ones are universal in Sun Tzu's Art of War?
This is important to know because in humanity's war against the #covid19 virus we seem to be unaware or even forgotten how to wage a war against an unseen exponential mutating adversary.
In the game Starcraft, there are 3 races that are at war. Each race has a different set of strategies and are a consequence of their existing capabilities. The virus is analogous to the Zerg. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarCraft…
The problem with humanity is that it does not seem to know how to act against an unseen enemy. Humanity seems to be unable to execute a coordinated action against the virus. It's much worse where groups of humanity are deliberately undermining the efforts of other groups.
Modern man seems to be so acclimated and spoiled by convenience that any effort for a temporary behavioral change is met with stiff stubborn resistance.
This is perhaps because the media has desensitized the true horrors of the vaccine. If you had the experience of first responders and medical staff then you would respond very differently from this crisis.
Many have been in the trenches of this war for more than a year now. It is no different from the reality of servicemen who have been fighting the 'war on terrorism' for several decades. It is unseen by the general population.
What is not seen becomes out of mind. Why the US collectively ignore the problem of mass shooting is because the consequences (i.e. dead bodies) are never shown to the general public. You cannot drive urgency if you cannot display the horror.
