The government fallacy - or how I learned to... no, not true, I already knew it-

I have been thinking of writing this for a long time. Since I wrote this 2 weeks ago. I wrote that , partially, in response to an article (you can find it in the post) in which an "expert" from the Dutch Intelligentsia declared that the Italian response to the Covid-19 outbreak was "stupid" . I also wrote that as a partial response to how our governments (plural, meaning all over the world), had been facing the outbreak. LinkedIn allowed me few lines... it's time to correct that. When the first news of this outbreak arrived in the "west" I remember I was chatting with some friends. My reaction was: yeah, it's bad, but most probably is affecting mainly old and weak people. I was not completely wrong. But I was still wrong. It actually can affect anyone, and only because young and strong are... well, young and strong, they have an higher probability of surviving. But only if they are treated in an ICU, so even young and strong can die.
