COVID-19 and Politics: The Destruction of the American Government
The Pandemic
In the scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, many problems have emerged. Some speculate that virtually no aspect of life in developed nations will remain untouched by the disaster. As the disease sweeps across the nations of the world, economies shudder and fall while people modify their behavior to attempt to mitigate the pandemic.
Common symptoms associated with COVID-19 include a spell of lethargy followed by nausea and vomiting, a dry cough, a severe fever, and perhaps the most famous of them all: bilateral pneumonia.
The disease is famously easy to spread. This is a result of the small size of the virus and its tendency to reproduce in the lungs, which makes it possible to spread simply by sharing air with another person.
The initial damage control efforts from many governments around the world have been suspect — these measures have included the suppression of information the public could have used to make better decisions, efforts to downplay the severity of the disease to prevent damage to the stock markets, and a seemingly endless stream of outright lies in addition to an ever-changing and unpredictable point of view from the President of the United States in particular.
