Well, there are doctors in Russia falling out of windows, a nurse that was treating patients from the beginning in NY killed herself, whistleblower Doctor forced to sign a paper taking back his warning of the Chinese virus, later died.
Oh, I am sure there is nothing to this latest story. Carry on.
Just another "accidental" punch in the gut of our civilization—which, by the way, is coming unraveled at an alarming rate; a rate increasing daily. How long I wonder will the deconstruction of tens of thousands of years of human civilizational development take? Not too long at all, I'd wager. Popcorn anyone? Whistles past the graveyard at midnight . . .
Sooo......we're both card-carrying pessimists, huh?
Optimism can be a rare commodity it seems like in a world where history is repeating itself before our very eyes and yet few if any people in power who could make a difference, could stop or delay this draconian repetition, seem more content with consolidating their own power and/or focusing on their personal fashion. We seem to be a hair trigger away from living through a French Revolution, America 2020 style, with the end of our American way of life hanging in the balance. Most Americans, however, seem perfectly happy with riding this sinking ship beneath the cold, arctic waves than thinking about the nearby "lifeboats". So what else can those in the know like us do other than eat popcorn and watch as "Godzilla" swallows "Rome"?
Nay, nay!
We do what is light that one candle rather than curse the darkness.
