Seems like this might have been a problem worthy of trying a bit harder to avoid. But what do I know ?
It;s already a problem, there's no avoiding it now.
It sometimes comes to pass that a natural experiment arises that would be beyond our ethical limitations to organize. Obviously, I don;t think that anyone should just watch it play out, but it's value is directly tied to how shitty it is...and,m hopefully, whatever data or strategies do or don;t work for Cape Town will become the basis of future responses and, importantly, preventative measures.
