>>11667694there are several, some of them conflicting, reasons for that. but one of the most evident ones: once you have brought a society to the verge, you better claim there were good, overwhelming reasons. you cannot just end up saying 'well, you know? I think we kind of overreacted. let's forget about this big misunderstanding'
in some instances, you might not want to acknowledge the embarrassing fact that your health system is and always was shitty to begin with. it is easier to cover the collapse with a "who could have coped with this huge biblical terrible new plague"
also, playing the victim card may give you an excuse to beg some relief money.
the reasons are really many, but mostly revolve about embarrassment avoidance
