Civilization is dying, and too few are lifting a finger to prevent it. We are slipping backward toward a mindless and cruel sub-animal existence, regressing away from human rights, from tolerance and freedom. We are allowing ourselves to backslide into a primitive totalitarian mysticism, where viruses are viewed with superstitious and reverential awe, treated as if they are malevolent spirits moving through the air, with our only apparent savior being a totalitarian god-state.
