causes and severity. media outlets on sending push notifications to our phones, alerting us to every human development. and a shocking number of governments remain resistant to the kind of radical action the situation demands. that's because the crisis on referring to isn't the karone of ours. if the ecological breakdown of our planet with blue moon on the 11th of march 2020, the world health organization announced we have brung the alarm bell loud and clear . we were in the grip of the cliff at 19 pandemic. we cannot say these loudly enough or clearly enough or often enough. all countries could still change the course of the spot and i make. the global reaction was at a scale wave rarely seen before. governments responded with a mix of county politics and politicized camps. with only some countries managing to put a method to the madness, regardless of how they got a significant number of countries winning to look down with some cities and regions being put into actual quarantine.
