If you have been reading the Apocalypse Papers recently, you realize that I am keeping up with the coronavirus news. Not in the Johns Hopkins fashion. But in the “what in the hell is wrong with people” fashion. What bothers me the most about the surge in cases is that people are becoming numb to this virus.
So here what I feel will happen.
Another national lockdown is coming. The economy will take a massive hit. And supply lines will become disrupted. Which will cause shortages, prices to spike, and people to panic worse than they did in March. Why. Because there is a lack of scientific respect that involves wearing a mask, practicing social distancing, and washing your hands.
It is inevitable.
Yet. There is so much fake news out there that people are confused as to which conspiracy theory to follow. There is a "liberal agenda" theory. The Covid “isn’t real” theory. The "Flu is worse " theory. The “Mask won’t help” theory. The “If I get the Rona, I get the Rona” theory. And with Houston, Arizona, Florida, and Mississippi finding out that ICU beds don’t grow on trees, there has to be someone chronicling what happened. Or those theories will permeate through our future history and people will repeat more of the same.
I just hope that while we slowly cruise through this portion of history on Willy Wonka’s SS Wonkatania someone is taking notes. Enough notes to point out that people were coughing on each other on purpose. Laying out on the beach as if the virus wasn’t affected by the heat. Having secret parties or family gatherings against common sense. People were walking around without their masks. People making fun of the safety precautions. And when it is all said and done that the hundreds of thousands that are destined to die will be a result of poor information, scientific mismanagement, and the lack of sound governance.
Wash your hands, wear your mask, and practice social distancing.
