the virus 03:34
"The link between climate change and infectious disease should raise a call to action for scientists and governments to evaluate the risks of the inevitable effects of climate change on epidemics and pandemics. Emergency response to climate disasters should automatically include public health actions to mitigate outbreaks. In addition, health systems should adapt to changing disease transmission patterns and the global mobility of people, animals, and goods. All of these efforts require funding directed at the intersection of climate change and epidemic prevention." https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adk4500

it spreads like smoke... "Spread of COVID-19 occurs via airborne particles and droplets. People who are infected with COVID can release particles and droplets of respiratory fluids that contain the SARS CoV-2 virus into the air when they exhale (e.g., quiet breathing, speaking, singing, exercise, coughing, sneezing). The droplets or aerosol particles vary across a wide range of sizes – from visible to microscopic. Once infectious droplets and particles are exhaled, they move outward from the person (the source). These droplets carry the virus and transmit infection. Indoors, the very fine droplets and particles will continue to spread through the air in the room or space and can accumulate. Transmission of COVID-19 from inhalation of virus in the air can occur at distances greater than six feet. Particles from an infected person can move throughout an entire room or indoor space. The particles can also linger in the air after a person has left the room – they can remain airborne for hours in some cases." https://johnsnowproject.org/fact/the-virus-spreads-in-the-air/

all the humans try to mask their face you can't hide "We can take action to protect ourselves and those we love. Vaccines PLUS ventilation, filtration and using high quality masks can reduce the risk of infection...consensus is: Avoid infection whenever possible...We have the tools to prevent infection and limit the impact of disease. We should use all of them." https://johnsnowproject.org/fact/we-can-reduce-our-risk/

oh how quickly this became the new normal

"COVID-19 has not ‘gone away’ nor is it likely to. The virus mutates rapidly and waning immunity means long-term protection and so-called herd immunity against infection does not seem possible against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Until we have vaccines that are more effective at blocking transmission, or there has been a global effort to eliminate or reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2, we should expect a relatively high background prevalence of the virus and to be infected or reinfected when our immunity wanes, unless we take steps to mitigate our risks." https://johnsnowproject.org/fact/covid-19-has-not-gone-away/

"The quote by Julius Caesar, "Men willingly believe what they wish," holds great meaning and importance in understanding human nature and the way we approach knowledge. It encapsulates the inherent bias and subjectivity that permeates our beliefs and the information we choose to accept or reject. Caesar's quote suggests that individuals selectively embrace ideas that align with their desires and preconceived notions, rather than seeking objective truth." -socratic-method.com

plague:
a disastrous evil or affliction / calamity
an epidemic disease causing a high rate of mortality / pestilence
a sudden unwelcome outbreak

"Our national leaders have drifted into treating the pandemic as though it were an unavoidable natural catastrophe, repeating a depressing cycle of panic followed by neglect."
