I wonder
I wonder why it takes so long to develop a vaccine. I feel very misled by all those blockbusters where the heroes draw blood, rush to the lab in a race against time, find the antibodies and VOILA! a potion is conjured up and used to save lives. And all this before the two-hour movie is up.

I wonder if anyone will remember what normal was.
Indeed. I wonder that too!
I wonder when theyre going to release a breakdown in table form of the comparing the infection, deaths AND recoveries versus all the other diseases. I wonder.
I wonder why people make a concerted and global effort to turn to God in times of trouble yet forget about Him when things go well.
That would be interesting to see, especially if there’s also a column that illustrates impact of other highly infectious diseases. I wonder what the comparable ones are? I also wonder what the exact ICU capacity of both our private and public healthcare system is. I wonder when/if the storm will break. You’ve opened a whole new sea of “I wonder’s”.
And yes, it sure is one of those human tendencies, to do just that. However, I have to say that I personally haven’t come across too many ‘new believers’ amidst this… but then I haven’t really been coming across anyone new lately… Anyway, back to playing solitaire 😉
