The pandemic is surging again in Europe and North America. It has gone out of control in South America for a year now. India is now experiencing carnage. The numbers here in the USA are surging again for the last few days. Canada is also showing numbers in the uptick. We can say new variant this and new variant that, the truth is more and more people are getting sickened by the pandemic and dying. The old country is going through the same nightmare. With the scarcity of the vaccines and protocol fatigue stricken population this nightmare may lead to a complete breakdown of law and order over there. Bigots are dreaming for chaos to go in and carve out fiefdoms and don’t give a hoot if people are dying from the pandemic. If the current diplomatic impasse with the West is not resolved soon and election coming in just a few months I can’t proscribe anything else but possible darker days ahead. Please underline ‘possible’ for me. This is not my hope. Not at all!!!! But it is my fear.
