I ain’t scared! Not yet! That country is in good and very capable hands. My concern is the skyrocketing numbers both in new cases and daily deaths here in the USA, UK and even in neighboring Canada. It seems authorities have lost control of the various in these countries. Here in the USA? Forget about it!!! Lately it seems 4,000 is the magic number for daily deaths. The spread of the new strain is an insult to injury and will make these numbers much, much worse. It is a shame to see all these countries getting clobbered by the pandemic knowing the fact that it was all avoidable if many citizens have not decided to flout the mitigating steps. Now there is this atmosphere of fatigue syndrome where many citizens just got tired of following the steps in the mitigating protocol. There is no encouraging news about the wide availability of the vaccines for the general public. In any case, my reminder to my dear countrymen/women still stands. Wear your face masks, wash/sanitize your hands and maintain proposed social distancing between you and the other dude. I’m nagging you now! Again!!! This Shall Pass! Insha’Allah!!!!
Make that: It seems authorities have lost control of the virus in these countries.
