Pandemic Faces Again

The pandemic has continued longer than most people thought it would, with consequences far beyond anticipation. The death toll from coronavirus in the United States topped 200,000 weeks back. The world economy continues to suffer. And winter is coming. 

Today's post of two faces of the pandemic is a simple plea. Epidemiologist experts continue to recommend masking in public, social distancing, careful hand washing, and (at least by implication) respect and care for one another. This digital drawing asks everyone who sees it to please, please abide by those recommendations.
