Pandemic Faces Again

As of this writing the covid-19 pandemic continues to rage worldwide. Brazil has become a hot spot, but the United States continues to have the most cases. The rate of infection seems to be increasing, too. The country has partly "reopened" only to pause or reclose certain activities. The faces of the pandemic are becoming legion.

"Intensive Care Nurse"
Emergency and critical care professionals in hospitals around the world are exhausted, stretched, dying, and as the status quo continues, less noticed. Nurses and other care givers in particular continue to give their "last full measure of devotion." Their selflessness and heroism in the face of exhaustion and death will be remembered always.

"Dr. Fauci"
Dr. Anthony Fauci is a renowned physician/scientist whose work in epidemiology and pandemics is well-known worldwide. His steady demeanor, factual and reasoned thought and prudent advice have been a calming factor for many during these months of fear and lockdown.
"I Blow God's Wind"

According to news feeds, a televangelist named Kenneth Copeland attempted to banish the coronavirus by "blowing the wind of God" on it. Remarkable to hear of a preacher who admits to blowing wind. He probably solicited donations afterward.
