In the old days people were part of families which were part of communities and they would all take care of each other if something like this happened. We've obviously gone far far away from that. I wonder if we will start moving back toward that sort of society?

As Margaret Thatcher said - there is no such thing as society, there are only individual people.

Seems like over last 50 years many people had been brainwashed to believe it is so.

But people are not the largest, quickest or most dangareous species on the planet. Our strongest point had been communicating and working together toward common goals, creating the society and taking care of each other.

Saddly in last 50 years this darwinistic vision of getting ahead at all cost at the expense of the others prevailed.
