localism as a response to a not local threat --- it was indeed interesting and surprising to see how efforts and communications turned national (even cantonal in CH) while the threat definitely did not care about borders (except oceans...). Does it mean when the threat is too imminent or seems out of our control we turn inwards? Was the local pressure on scientists so high they didn't have resources to turn outwards?
