The pandemic is receding from us. Soon to be forgotten like last time. Life goes on even a new European World War has come. Our local culture war has kicked into high gear once more. That and who wants to remember a bunch of dead sick people. Most were not personally touched and are tired of caring. So here’s a reminder of how serious it was. The dead deserve the notice.
Once upon a time:
This from my COVID Journal May 7, 2020.
The City reported an increase today of nearly 1,000 more deaths as a result of COVID-19 Tuesday into Wednesday. The City listed its death toll at 36,597 as of late today, a jump of 952 since yesterday. Our national perished is now close to 300,000. A vaccine is thought to be 12 to 18 months away.
*The national dead now is over One Million. Do you remember now?
Obviously, the plague has had a primal effect on me. The Emerald City was torn to bits by it. 70k perished. We're left with ruined economies profound mismanagements murder in the streets. So I get why no ones wants to remember...I wish I could forget as well.
ReplyDeleteThis has been one of the worst episodes in human history. It not only has killed but will continue to kill millions of people, and the damage to the national and global societies we knew is permanent and irreparable.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe the official story. I am convinced that epic corruption and stupidity on the part of official "health" agencies and other political and economic actors have contributed at least as much to the death count and other associated damage as the virus itself, and will continue to do so.
The compulsion to destroy human liberty with this disaster as an excuse is still in play and we have not heard the end of it yet.

"...we have not heard the end of it."
ReplyDeleteOf this, I am sure. It was weaponized from the start. We may differ by who or why, but the effect is the same. Exactly the same. The dead remain dead hopes remain crushed, and I don't see it changing. The European World War is the natural dessert to this whole era.
