My blogs tend not to be political. Not to be favoring a particular demographic or national identity.
Some readers might find this particular write up or perhaps some others for that matter not adhering to this ground rule. As many readers might be quick to note 'yours truly' does not care what or if you think. LOL.
But here I would go on a limb and state that the current government has botched this once in a lifetime opportunity to tackle the calamity, to pivot and be proactive and to lead by example.
The concept of 'value' is as old as life itself. Perhaps this Republic of all might find a golden moment to polish its mirror and be the beacon lighting the path for all to prosper in the days ahead.

America
is completely NOT what it could be. The POTUS with
his Narcissistic personality disorder (if I were to use a
euphemism) has turned this great land of opportunity into the world's
laughing stock.
India with its deplorable record on many facets of daily life and with a threadbare but more effective healthcare apparatus is also taking indirect jabs at pointing out how screwed up America got in face of this horrible pandemic.
I am not one to also tout references to self-obsessed people but a recent reading of a history book by a great historian of our times reminded me that all of this suffering we are all enduring begins and ends with - We the People.
Drew Faust, a former Harvard president and Pulitzer nominee wrote this very poignant book titled 'The Republic of Suffering' a decade ago. It highlights the massive impact America's civil war had on people's daily lives. Something on the battlefield ended up uprooting the very foundation of pedestrian life.
One hopes that when we come out of this latest challenge facing humanity we will have inspected or have the desire to adjust the focus on what matters.
