These are grim, quarantined, and unprecedented times occurring in places by the most unlikely mutant - COVID19 AKA The novel Coronavirus.
Let’s cut to the chase - these are extremely trying times as there has been many like this throughout our history, especially the black community. Yet, no matter the circumstance, gravity of challenge, or threat to our modus vivendi, modus operendi, and life we find ourselves at the same place and the same time.
Where are we? We are steadfast in a - PERFECT STORM...which is a rare combination of events or circumstances creating an unusually bad situation. In this case the storm can be characterized as a biological Armageddon where a virus with stealth-like features catapults from animals (likely a bat) to humans.
With a plethora of missteps as precedent make no mistake this biological Armageddon will usher in a “game changing fallout” equal to its once in a every 100 years predictability. What makes this - COVID19 pandemic - a component of a perfect storm:
(1) the likely hood of gross leadership incompetence occurring in...
(2) the same cycle with
(3) global malfeasance.
We saw this coming and ignored it, we watched it move across the globe with cloaked apprehension behind a penchant for rationalization - it won’t get us. Now the epicenter is here from Wuhan, China to - I love NY.
