There is a virtual absence of news about anything going in in the world other than Coronavirus-related events. Does anyone think that China, Russia and other bad actors have put their nefarious plans on hold while we are thus occupied? Is our singular obsession with this medical issue providing cover for those who would do harm to our country? Does political propaganda Trump everything else?
Exactly. Remember last year the crisis was KIDS IN CAGES!!!!!!! Nothing else in the world mattered. Now all we see is video of caskets piling up and sick people on ventilators.
You think that doesn't matter? Yes, I too wonder why there is a black hole of news on anything other than Covid-19, but we haven't even seen the worst of it yet, and our frontline healthcare workers are making extraordinary sacrifices, and genuinely deserve this news coverage, to say nothing of all the risks associated with staying well during a pandemic.
