We’re in the midst of a global pandemic and the world is just waiting for the next great opportunity to come along.
Well, that opportunity has just come along. It’s time to put all of that aside and get down to business. Get down to business.
Now I know what you’re thinking. Is this an April Fools joke? Yes. But just so you know, it’s actually really serious. The world has just entered the next era of the pandemic, and we can’t really hide that. Because the pandemic isn’t only about our current situation. It’s also a global threat. And the pandemic is real. It’s actually happening now.
And now we have a really good reason to get down to business. We have a very good reason to get up off our butts and get involved with a global threat. We have a reason to look at all the ramifications of our actions. This is going to be huge. It could be the beginning of the end. If you take it seriously youre just the guy with the most balls in the room.
And this is why I’m starting to think we should all start getting together and doing things like the NFL, the Lakers, and the Olympics. And I mean serious. The pandemic is real and we have a really good reason to be doing these things. If you dont like them you are the racist, you are the assholes.
No we can’t stop pandemics, but we can stop thinking about them. We can stop thinking about what they could do to us. No. That’s the wrong way to think about it. It is already happening. And no, it isnt really a good time to be a racist. Now is when you should be thinking about doing things like going to the Olympics or being the Lakers.
The problem with pandemics, is that they are a rare thing. Unlike a tornado, which happens every couple of years, a pandemic will happen only every couple of generations which means that every generation is at risk. Our current pandemic is one of the worst in recorded history.
The problem is that these current pandemics are actually pandemics of old. The old disease that started the first pandemic was called “smallpox.” The disease that is the current plague is called “SARS.” The virus that caused SARS is the same virus that killed 5 million people and sickened tens of thousands of others.
One of the things we as individuals are doing to ourselves is to become immune to the current pandemic. That means our immune systems will become weaker and weaker, but as long as we have enough money to buy vaccines, we don’t have to deal with the disease. This is a problem because you also have to buy the vaccine. A vaccine is a pill that will stop the disease, but it will only work if you have enough money to pay for it.
That’s what we are doing with the pandemic. We are trying to prevent the virus from spreading any further. This is the “let’s get to business” part.
