The "Covid Worldview"

Oh dear. I was thinking this morning about how the Covid crisis has become so strong, the fear so great, that the entire world has divided into two separate worldviews. Covid has created its own unique worldview.

So I coin this phrase that I found no significant results for on Google when I did the search:

"Covid Worldview"

There are many different worldviews in this world. Very few unite the entire world. There is the traditional American worldview that if you were taught history in America you should be familiar with, the notion that people should be allowed to live free - with no tyranny. I like that one.
Then came the 9/11 worldview leading to major world power warfare killing millions of people and displacing untold millions of others. That came from the 9/11 worldview, a lens against Islam.
But now that we've wound the clock back twenty years to pre-9/11, this new crisis has taken over our minds and our airwaves, just like 9/11, a crisis of fear.

That fear is so strong that our nation is allowing that worldview to justify retaliation against the traditional American worldview.

Don't let that thought slip your mind.
