THE WORLD WITHOUT US




NOTE:
Pandemic Covid 19 has shown our weakness. Global warming has resulted in severe weather and uncontrolled fires. We would like to think that we are invincible but we are not. Extinction of the human race seems unthinkable but who would have thought dinosaurs will be extinct?  They ruled Earth for millions of years; will we last even a million years? I would like to hope that we would but the rate at which we are destroying the Earth Environment we are suicidal set to destroy us as well as other innocent creatures great and small.

A global, yearlong cascade of failures
Governments and public health organizations around the world responded slowly and ineffectually to the coronavirus outbreak, according to an interim report by a World Health Organization panel scheduled for release today.
Faulty assumptions, ineffective planning and sluggish responses together helped fuel a pandemic that has killed more than two million people and infected more than 95 million. Time and again, the report concludes, those who were responsible for protecting and leading often did neither.
Investigators said they did not understand why the W.H.O. had waited until Jan. 30 to declare an international health emergency, nor why those clear warning signals were often ignored.
Quote: "We have failed in our collective capacity to come together in solidarity to create a protective web of human security," the Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response wrote.
