    These events have happened in our past, an interesting read is '1493' which details the diseases foreigners brought to our native population. It is curious how weak and inept we humans can be, one wonders how long this incident will last. Historians will look back and say why didn't they learn. What was it Pogo said...

    "There is no need to sally forth, for it remains true that those things which make us human are, curiously enough, always close at hand. Resolve, then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tiny blasts of tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us." Pogo

    This is interesting as many thought the virus only attacked the more vulnerable, people like me, senior citizens. Check it out. See this too: 'If You Have Animals' in link below.

    While this has a humor focus, the information is well done and counters the false narrative of some, whose objective or goal is questionable at best. Listen.

    Who is behind the protests to open America during this pandemic and why. As has been the case for many years it is politics or political power. When you benefit from a lack of government or social policy oversight, anything goes. You see that in wages and environmental regulations as well as banking. Those who benefit play on the emotions and frustrations of the easily led. If anyone would want top learn more I will add a few books at bottom. They will challenge you, beware.

    The seriousness of Covid-19 has led to the usual finger pointing. It is always easier to blame others than to deal with reality.

    "We know how the COVID-19 pandemic began: Bats near Wuhan, China, hold a mix of coronavirus strains, and sometime last fall one of the strains, opportunistic enough to cross species lines, left its host or hosts and ended up in a person. Then it was on the loose."
