This morning, I was going to share a article from “The Guardian” on Facebook. I wrote a little introduction and then decided it was far too personal and honest. I felt way to honest, to blast out to vague friends on Facebook. So, at the last minute, I didn’t post it. I thought I’d share it here, in may safe place. See my drafted post below followed by the explanation and article link.
The harsh reality of, will-I-survive the pandemic, how many of my friends will be lost, weighs heavily on my mind? They posted the estimated fatality numbers last night and they made me realize we are in the infant stages of the Covid Pandemic.
Only you-can-decide if our government is reacting properly or if they fell behind from day one. Are they now faced with the challenge of impossibly, trying to catch up?
We all have nothing but time, to watch the events unfold, trying to look away, but constantly being drawn back.
I feel like I’m tied to train tracks, the pandemic freight train slowly gains speed towards me. It seems fast now, but the reality is, its speed will only increase as it begins to barrel towards me. I can struggle to break free, to step out of the way, but my vulnerability is reflected in my eyes, as the light of the train draws near…
…Did I change the world? Did I make a difference?
The Guardian article, “The missing six weeks:” is about defining moments. On January 20, 2020, the first case of Corona virus was diagnosed in the US and on that same day the first case in South Korea.
One country acted swiftly and aggressively to detect and isolate the virus, and by doing so has largely contained the crisis. The other country dithered and procrastinated, became mired in chaos and confusion, was distracted by the individual whims of its leader, and is now confronted by a health emergency of daunting proportions.
I’ll leave it up to you and eventually historians, to decide, if we got it right?
