“Crisis” in Spain and Portugal

What is going in Spain and Portugal? Was this an experiment to see how westerners cope without electricity for a few hours? Are they getting them prepared for worse? Why can people deal with it in South Africa but not in Spain and Portugal? Have they never heard of candles? Do they not read books? Can they not go without for more than one day?

The state can destroy your life with the flick of a switch. Do you remember when they destroyed it over a mild virus?

No, nor do you.

CoViD-19 killed a lot of people worldwide.
Be glad you didn't have a genetic weakness for it.

@SomeMichGuy Do you have genetic weakness for it?

@SW-User I don't know. They haven't identified the marker(s) which made people your age die without any obvious weakness/condition to increase susceptibility.

I got one of the most effective vaccines ever made, and I was glad we could use our knowledge of genetics to do this.
