The Impact of Covid 19 Goes Way Beyond the Damage Caused by a Virus

It has been a tough couple of years. The covid 19 epidemic has impacted our world in ways that many of us just were not prepared for. As a poet once wrote about his experience in the trenches of World War I:

тАЬItтАЩs the waiting thatтАЩs seldom talked about;
Oh, itтАЩs very rarely told
That most of the bravery at the front
Is just waiting in the cold.

It is not the dread of the shrapnelтАЩs whine
That sickens a fighting soul,
But the beast in us comes out sometimes
When weтАЩre waiting in a hole.тАЭ

The covid 19 virus is a bit like the bullets and shrapnel that killed and maimed so many in the trenches of World War I. Just like then though, it wasnтАЩt just the tanks, bombs, and guns that caused the casualties. The experience of being in the trenches also damaged people psychologically. We see something similar happening due to the covid 19 epidemic.
