Why?

    At most times we feel as humans that we have things under control.  Even when it becomes extremely obvious that just the opposite is true we will continue to try to convenience ourselves that we are still in control.

     This seems to be the current case concerning the Coronavirus.  Like most news broadcasts I’m not trying to panic anyone.  But we primarily don’t know very much about this current disease that is basically ravishing the world scene.  We want to think that we can “wave the magic wand” and all will be well with the world.  However, it just doesn’t work that way.

     Medical personnel “on the front lines” are doing all they can with what they have available.  But the truth is in most areas the grip of the virus has taken hold long before the intervention to attempt a solution has become seen as something necessary to do.  By the time any action has been started to curb the onslaught of the contagion it has already established a foothold within the area.

     Whenever you begin to make statements such as “this virus primarily effects those
 of 60 years of age and older,” the younger generation automatically begins to surmise that they are not vulnerable to the disease and therefore are not morally or ethically required to abide by any type of restrictions that may be offered to slow-down the spread of the disease.  By the time it is realized that like most diseases there is NO distinction considered as boundaries by the disease.  Those who felt immune are already infected and become spreaders to others.

     It seems that as humans we always feel that given the time and resources we will be able to combat any infection or trial that should befall us.  And perhaps to some degree this statement is true.  However, it usually does not occur until the disease has taken the lives of thousands if not millions of humans.

     If we feel that we can join on a global scale to combat such an enemy as the Coronavirus why are we not able to eliminate world hunger, illiteracy, and bring about world peace?  It is because we fail to realize one basic fact that we often overlook within the equation:  We’re Only Human!
