Success is measured not by a fast and furious response at the moment of crisis but by the absence of a need for intervention. But US society, like a new pwME still unfamiliar with the costs of <a href="https://aus.social/tags/PEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PEM</span></a>, is staring down a cycle of “crashes” from which we won’t be able to easily return. We haven’t treated bird flu as a serious health problem, and probably won’t until it explodes into the population with the onset of airborne human-to-human transmission, at which point – if the COVID response is our example – we’ll have lost hope of controlling it before the virus’s significantly higher mortality rate strikes a meaningful blow. Long COVID isn’t a problem until we can find no other explanation for why millions of people are unable to work, school performance and children’s health decline in unison, and no one can remember what it feels like not to be sick all of the time. The climate crisis requires no changes to our consumption patterns until our major cities burn, at which point the solution is to consume more.
