Over the past 70 years we,
living in the richer nations,
have gradually lost
our sense of danger
concerning epidemics
and serious infections.
This is a consequence
of better vaccines,
improved health infrastructure
and other medicines
such as antibiotics
that essentially drove
serious community infections out of vision.
This was not true everywhere in the world,
where infections and epidemics
continued to ravage the poorer regions.
We in the richer world must now reacquire
this instinctive memory post COVID-19.
