Gregory's Server@chu They cannot imagine. Nor do they grasp the disease and malnutrition that will decimate many others, because they can’t imagine hospitals also need people and electricity to function. Nor do they understand what flooding does to water treatment facilities. And it’s almost impossible to show them the connections between events.
