Scenes From The COVID Disaster
As I write Covid-19 continues its reign as the longest nightmare. Our national failure to take this crisis seriously, and to remain steadfast in addressing the broad consequences of the pandemic are now contributing to political and social unrest, as well as increasing supply shortages and growing inflation. Every major issue can be blamed on the pandemic - for example increased gun violence, increased urban violence, heightened discussions on school curriculums, the lack of infrastructure development, political stagnation, mental illness, the changing workforce, housing shortages, high rents, food shortages, altered economies, and an energy crisis. Largely due to disinformation campaigns and vaccination fears, the numbers of unvaccinated support the increasing numbers of Covid-19 mutations. New strains of the virus are not following existing scientific principles, and newer mutations are proving more infectious. Covid-19 can easily become a common and deadly virus for years to come
