Dr.Gene:
There is little doubt that “people of color” – and people of lower economic status are the most “unprepared” for a pandemic such as we are experiencing.
They are not the “target” that CVD19 is aimed at; in fact there is no “aiming” by a virus, unless it is used as a military weapon. Everything that is known at this time seems to lead to simple science: this is a pandemic that only the virus knows what it is aimed at.
And that is what Nature does. It seeks to have life grow and become. Just because Humans find it to be inconvenient (come on people, we have had plagues before – many times) doesn’t mean that we cannot survive, and after thrive from a pandemic virus like CVD19.
But it does mean that we can either be the herds of sheep that the virus will run through until it evolves out of its nastiness, or we can do something about it.
The trick in our “modern” society is just how do we tame it, or at least mitigate it.
While the current data (very new) suggests that we can survive this pandemic assault, there is very little that our human governments can do that will not thrash or completely disable our so-called-society.
The disease will run it’s course; after all, the virus is only doing what it must do – grow, spread, and infect. It’s a simple and minor fragment of life. It just happens to be ready and able to use us all as it’s growth and survival.
As it turns out, from our point of view it is an assault on our species and after that, our lives.
Like most of us, we thought that life was about sex, parenthood, kids, school, and then college/trade school/university and eventually adulthood for the kids from that life. We lived that life like it was free and available to us because most of us thought that was what should and would be.
We are being reminded that NOTHING is promised (pardon the imprimatur, but it is true) aside form religious texts. Science is making things pretty clear regarding CVD19.
Either scientific human-based results and protection from testing will limit the spread of
the virus, or it won’t.
Odds are, our society will spend the money, time and effort to tame it.
If not, then we will all learn a new reality; Our beliefs, our trust, and our certainty will just become another myth about our world.
