A president unfit for a pandemic.
Much of the suffering and death coming was preventable. The president has blood on his hands.
"Things fall apart; the center cannot hold,” wrote W.B. Yeats in 1919. A century later, it’s clear: The epicenter cannot hold. Catastrophic decisions in the White House have doomed the world’s richest country to a season of untold suffering.
The United States, long a beacon of scientific progress and medical innovation with its world-class research institutions and hospitals, is now the hub of a global pandemic that has infected at least 745,000 people and already claimed more than 35,000 lives worldwide. Now that the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the United States — more than 140,000 — has surpassed that of any other nation, Americans are consigned for the coming weeks to watching the illness fell family members and friends, and to fearing for their own fate as they watch death tolls rise.'>>>

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.

I'm not familiar with it, but I will be.
It is dark but apropos of our time. I missed out on high school and didn't focus on literature in college. However, I was exposed to a good bit in grade school from school and my elder siblings who were very deeply engrossed in literature. Seriously, they memorized much of Lewis Carroll's works along with other great works. And they would repeatedly recite them while memorizing them. It was interesting to say the least, I was their audience so I got to watch repeated performances, such is the life of a younger sibling.
By the time the eldest got into Yeates, she was gone to college and I was reading things I was interested in by then... like Truman Capote, and Greek mythology.
"The time has come", the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes - and ships - and sealing wax - Of cabbages - and kings- And why the sea is boiling hot - And whether pigs have wings."
THANKS!
And some of the morals to some of the myths were notable. And for me at that time, a marvelous escape.
And thanks for reminding me! I had to go reread the whole thing!
"It seems a shame," the Walrus said,
"To play them such a trick.
After we've brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!"
The Carpenter said nothing but
"The butter's spread too thick!"
unfit for anything.
