I was trying to make sense of all this this morning: The Never Ending Crisis

This is what I came up with to describe a world crisis of this magnitude where tornadoes or hurricanes or droughts won't be a pittance in comparison to what we are actually dealing with (not just here in the U.S.) but also all around the world.

Many have said we will deal with a cascading series of crises along the way.

This also makes sense to me.

However, for me, the most disturbing bit of news is that the Head of the CDC believes presently that this is likely going to be as bad or worse than the 1918 Flu Pandemic which killed 675,000 Americans mostly soldiers and sailors in the military in 1918 starting in October 2020 through about now in April 2021.

So, this might be what we have to look forward to now.

This is a crisis at present that might affect the world much more than the Great Depression or World War II did then.

So, only the most resourceful people worldwide are going to survive what we face now.

We are presently moving into Lifeboat Theory Territory very quickly worldwide.

Lifeboat ethics is a metaphor for resource distribution proposed by the ecologist Garrett Hardin in 1974. ... Hardin asserts that the spaceship model leads to the tragedy of the commons. In contrast, the lifeboat metaphor presents individual lifeboats as rich nations and the swimmers as poor nations.
