For something that was so farsighted 12 years ago we finally seem to be getting back to it with Clarkes' and Moskowitz theories. My doctors obviously never got the memo; neither did anyone else. At least from what survivors write about, we have millions that are in the dark. My solution to that is to put a cognitive survivor in charge, this every person for themselves is an exercise in stupidity.
