Let's say you have a farm, and you raise some chickens.

You discover that one of the chickens is infected to the core with a disease. A theoretically curable disease if caught early. But this particular chicken is in late stage of the disease.

Do you still try to cure it, even though keeping it around poses a risk to you and the other chickens; or do you count your losses, kill it and burn the corpse?

@alyx @alyx I know enough about agricultural practices to know that the chicken, and all the others too, will be destroyed. If not by myself then by the authorities.

Yup. But I'm using this as a bit of an allegory. I hope to make people understand that sometimes you can't fix a broken system, and you need to start from scratch.

@alyx @alyx Give a politician in parliament bird flu. We will then unfortunately have to put them all down.
