… that said, I also notice that in a universe in which this were intentional, it could also be a nice medium-level demonstration of Level 2 thinking: “If I name my post with something important-sounding in the title, more people will read it, and I will (probabilistically) gain points.”
It does still use the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic as its motivating example, and I didn’t have an obviously better title. Would be happy to change to a good alternative title if one was found.

I’m going to second the request for a title change and propose:

Changed to that in original.
Thanks! I think this is an improvement.
