Welcome to Covid Pandemonium
It’s time to be anti-fragile.
Three Florida school teachers from the same county died on the same day, all from covid. The year has barely started. Meanwhile, Louisiana hospitals are sending ambulances all the way to Texas, because their ICUs are full. Let’s linger for a minute to appreciate just how insane that last sentence was. One state’s hospitals are full. So they’re sending their patients to another state, whose hospitals are also overwhelmed.
Pediatric hospitals are full. If your kid needs a bed, then they have to wait for another kid to get better or die.
If you pay the slightest bit of attention to the news, there’s only one logical way to interpret what’s going on.
It’s pandemonium.
If you live in the south, the healthcare system isn’t collapsing.
It has collapsed.
We don’t like to tell the truth in America, because we want to live under the illusion we’re a first world country who would never experience anything other than first world problems. Well, it’s time to snap out of it. We took our first world resources and privileges, and we squandered them. You’d better not get sick or have an accident. You’d better not have a heart attack or a stroke. You’d better not get cancer this year.
