Our Weakest Link ?

Our Weakest Link ?

Good morning America and Canada.  Good afternoon Europe and Good evening Asia. Whether you are still up on your feet now or you're still in your deep slumber, we all share this commonality, Our Weakest Link that is.  Unfortunately, the human race is one damn bunch of species.  They all fall on their knees after they have outstretched their fortunes from strength to strength until it goes kaput.

BTW this real-time snapshot of the new Covid cases in the United States is just a sampling.  But across almost all countries today, the number of daily new Covid cases just didn't spike.  Spike will be a misnomer because the stratospheric increases has proven that everyone of us is wrong to a fault, and that includes almost all governments save for states with a tight grip like Malaysia and Singapore.

In Malaysia and Singapore, while theirs are indeed democracies, their governments know enough when to extend the carrot and when to crack the whip.  Swing over to the so called democracies where protest rallies and lawsuits will sprout like mushrooms.  Where do they stand now ?  One particular Asian state had as low as 200 new Covid cases a week ago.  Today, there are 10,000 new cases [and still counting], whew !

What does this all tell us ?  It's that MADAM COVID does not recognize countries, not even the G-10 or other axis of powers.  MADAM COVID is simply that Sword of Damocles hanging on top of us waiting and raring to swoop down once it becomes the best time to spring up the latest surprise [over and over again].  But hey, isn't this deja vu ?  How many times we insisted that we all subscribed to this poster that WE ARE ONLY AS STRONG AS OUR WEAKEST LINK but from thereon, it is all lip service.  No thanks to a human race of a FREE WORLD now kneeling at the mercy of MADAM COVID.

Ooops my apologies I am not trying to sound out Armageddon, not yet anyway.  But how SOON and how QUICK can we learn our lessons ?  When governments clamped down all industries because of this pandemic, the greedy BIG BUSINESS prayed and strongly LOBBIED to open up the economies for the sake of the country.  I hate to bluntly tear off that alibi because BIG BUSINESS is simply motivated by $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Now who is paying the price ?  Poor people.
