A new world. Different than what we woke up to on 1/1/20.
Globally people are sick, confused, anxious, angry, sarcastic, humbled, charitable, pessimistic and optimistic all at the same time.
No different in that sense from what we woke up to on 1/1/20, just that the ratio of sick to healthy and pessimist to optimist is increasing rapidly.
What makes it even more frustrating is that the enemy is invisible. There is no amount of nuclear firepower or smart guided bombs that can solve this crisis. In fact the opposite. Money spent arming the arsenals for a perceived armageddon is now in short supply as it might have been used to make and distribute face masks.
Instead of all the pundits advocating and using 1 billion dollars for 3 fighter jets to secretly blow up an enemy bunker we could have made a billion masks for a buck apiece. Ah the human fallacy. Where do we hide our face now? No masks after all.
Could might not be right after all?
Not to mention the confusion of how many pupils attending school were told to stay home? In the US it was double counted compared to the UK - see in the US each student ideally has two pupils (one per eye) but the Brits keep counting one pupil per seat. Eh?
Then there is the matter of the tests. Not the ones in school since school is out. But the ones to test for covid. We ain't got them. We just built 3 more fighter jets after all.
But the Koreans did. Not just prep the test but conduct it. It is not just bibimbap and K Pop after all?
They tracked their disease and brought it down. That is some serious gochujang!
