## What Jamie wrote

[Bar-Yam tweeted](https://twitter.com/yaneerbaryam/status/1258474980129546242) the loss of his mother to Covid-19. It’s a sad reflection, worth reading.

> The systemic failure is apparent. Every country has its compassion measured in the number of its COVID sick and dead. I have tried to explain how to stop it. The problem is not in the understanding, the problem is in the absence of compassion.

There is truth here.
