Which is excellent.

Just to be clear, I'm not criticising anyone who is reeling and scared right now, or you personally, or even the post itself, I just think it's long past due that we stop wasting our collective energy and power on focusing on and trying to fix the symptoms, instead of their cause, because that's never going to work.
