Before the emotional plague can be eliminated it must first be identified. The operation of the emotional plague in the current coronavirus pandemic is in its mindless destructiveness of people’s biological work function by well-meaning mechanistic scientists. The plague individual views the biological work function as if it were some kind of a machine that can be mindlessly turned on and off like a switch without any consequences.
The real problem is a functional one, to address the coronavirus pandemic by simultaneously finding ways not to interrupt the economy and destroy peoples work function. We don’t want to throw out the baby with the bath water. This approach requires people who are able to think functionally, not mechanistically. This problem is not one that the current mechanistically trained epidemiologists are qualified to deal with.
