There is a third coronavirus wave in Europe right now as hospitalisations as a result of the virus begin to mount. Italy has gone in lockdown and so has Paris, with Germany also experiencing an increasing wave of the virus.
Will this make it to the New World? My God I hope not. But the vaccines are in so we may be safe. But not so fast, the vaccines most of us in the third world Latin American and Caribbean World are the AstraZeneca vaccine, the same vaccine that some of the European countries have shunned saying that it increases the likelihood of blood clotting. Well I’ll be damned!
We had a rough, shocking first wave and a crippling, humbling second wave. A third wave may send people to the breaking point this time as pent up frustrations will begin to mount.
We are strong, however. Despite Harry and Meghan trolling the British Royal family and the rest of us by extension, we have kept our eyes focused on being vigilant despite the crippling economic effects of this pandemic.
So where is Europe’s vaccines? Aren’t they supposed to be leading the world? Hogging up the vaccines, so Caribbean leaders have been saying? Well, where is the vaccinations? Why so many mounting hospitalisations? Something doesn’t smell right to me. Something is off. Someone is lying, or everyone is lying and we have one of those situations where we have “conflicting bullsh**s,” where a lie upon another lie begin to dispute each other from a false premise that no one can even begin to debunk, let alone get to the bottom of.
This third wave will pass the Western world once mature leadership in America’s Biden and Canada’s Trudeau stay sharp and the rest of our leaders don’t start to lose their grip on the situation.
