In this interview with ICCE founder and director, Scott D. Miller, he addresses the North American response to the COVID-19 outbreak, paying particular attention to how the West's "death illiteracy" distorts it's planning and  mitigation efforts, thereby increasing suffering and perpetuating the very fears it seeks to relieve.
