We are fighting a war against covid. And there's no peace treaty on the table.
I just celebrated my son's 4th birthday today, and am preparing to get ready for my late father's dob, on the 18th. This contrast between life & death got me in a contemplative space...
We are fighting a war against covid. And there's no peace treaty on the table.
We should instead salute the underpaid Cambodians who are working to help us.
It great when a well-funded organization helps. It's divine when the underprivileged are the ones stepping up.
Smile at the next volunteer/medical staff you meet. They have been crawling in the belly of the beast,
not to make a lot of money, but for a sense of duty, nation and X.
There are many ways we can get out of this war.
But there are only a handful of ways, to come out of it as a better, stronger nation.
I would like to thank every underpaid Cambodian who is selflessly standing in the hot sun, in close proximity with 'death' to vaccinate our whining asses.
Expats need to get with the program.
The first responders... They are not promised 401K's. They are not promised gold and profit-sharing.
But they are there. And that matters.
Give them a hand-drawn card, flowers, or something when they come to take you into quarantine or jab a metal thing into your arm.
How we overcome covid, should matter more than when.

You make it sound like it's 1938.

It kinda is, I guess. That was a pivotal period in time. The world is no longer the same after that.
Covid has changed the direction of the future. Old plans need reworking.

Yep, I think you are right about the war, with a situation of no sure outcome at this time. I could be seen that too we are losing the battle, with the last strike on India, hospitals and staff so overwhelmed that the dead had to be piled up upon each other in the entrance's. It does sound like a battle field, of an enemy we can not see. Brazil have now got a new variant, and very powerful, tends to go for the young. How can the enemy be stopped if its one step ahead.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Brazil is 5 steps behind because of their president. Idiocy yields idiotic outcomes.AndyKK wrote: ↑Sat Apr 17, 2021 9:02 am Yep, I think you are right about the war, with a situation of no sure outcome at this time.
