A Global Reset!

The World Is Witnessing Its First Major-Leauge Reset!
Remember the Millenium Reset of the year 2000 or the Y2K? That was a global reset that scared the world and rightly so. It was going to cause a virtual systems meltdown. It never came and the world breathed a sigh of relief and moved on. It gripped us in fear however while we dangled in uncertainty until the presumed cause of fear passed. Now comes the new global reset that is now devastating us.
The COVID-19 pandemic is the unexpected visitor. It is for the most part unseen. It is extremely deadly. We do not know how to deal with it...yet. And the worst nightmare for most of us continues to ravage the farthest villages of the Earth and its large cities. The world is gripped in fear.
There are ZERO exceptions, everyone is a potential target. So we have ground close to a global halt. Or have we?
Global Lock Down - The Reset Button!
So as the world reels from the continued demolition of many communities by the virus, we come up with solutions and preventive measures such as isolation, social distancing, fast and furious manufacture of ventilator machines and community lock downs!
Community lock downs eliminate or minimize social contacts to prevent the continued spread of the plague. Lock downs around the globe vary in policies and enforcement levels. Some nations have more stringent enforcements ordering folks to stay home. Other nations are less rigid with their policies and enforcements.
But indeed with the global lock down, the world is getting its first truly extensive global RESET!
Stay-Home Orders, Borders Closed, Airlines Grounded, Businesses Shuttered
Temporary as they are, our new state of situations around the world cannot be called normal any longer. Make a long story short the world systems and processes are in dire straits and hanging in the balance. A lot of us are still in a 'shock and awe' state as we grapple and understand what is happening. People are asking, 'how long could this last?' When can we go back to normal living? Will they soon find cures?
Answers to these questions are hard to come by. The world does not have the answers. Indeed we have just suffered a reset where we are all down on our knees, humbled and clueless. Or are we?
I say, no way! We are fighting back! Or are we?
The Long Lines
Food stores, grocery outlets and other services and the long lines have become the norm. Most of us have not seen anything like this in America, the land of abundance and plenty. The land that holds the world title of being the richest nation in the world. But lo and behold we seem to have the most long lines for food in the world! Not because of the shortage of supplies. It is because of fear of going hungry! The stores are having a hard time re-stocking the shelves! It is very embarrassing to see! We no longer know what it is like to get hungry for a few hours or maybe a day. So grabbing what you can when you can became a norm. Truly crazy!
World Markets And Economy Careening!
I heard that the world market has sustained a good 27-29 percent loss since the effects of the virus started punching the world economy. How long will this go? The White House $2Trillion economic stimulus seems to be helping and the market could be fighting back. Or will it?
As we speak the stimulus money of $2Trillion is now considered insufficient as claims of unemployment skyrocket. So we could see that number go up!
The Global Number Of Cases And Death Toll Continue To Rise
Now this part is the most scary. You and I could die any day! This is like receiving judgement but without seeing the set date and time! The enemy is simply lurking, unseen around the corner or in your own home and the axe could come down any time!
So this is what I would call the Final Reset! Whoa, how could I call death a reset, you might say! As far as most of us know, when you die, you are dead! 'Finito'. And in comparison, a reset is like a 're-start', a setback so one could start over again!
Aha! I do not know about you but I feel comfortable believing in that mystery called the AFTERLIFE! Dying then for me would be the final reset from this world into the world beyond! But then again this belief is a hard sell to many. But hey don't blame me if it is true and you find out a bit too late and you land into the land of zero resets! ; )
ThePlaying Field Is Getting Leveled?
We are seeing the powerful and the rich getting hit by this deadly virus as well as the poor. No exceptions. Money and power rendered nil and useless...almost. Politicians, Princes of the world, families of Prime Ministers and many more are hit. So how can you buy your way into escaping the unseen enemy! Rich or poor nations alike are being ravaged. Indeed the reset is showing the world that if this continues for an extended period of time, it could bring a lot of places back to the stone age!
Some 'experts' are predicting that this thing could last over a year! I am beginning to take a critical look at these so called 'experts'. Unfortunately, the best economies of the world have all but reeled under the onslaught of this fast-moving unknown killer. It appeared as if from nowhere and all of a sudden it is wide spread and in our midst. The death toll is massive and soul-shattering. Indeed we are witnessing one of the biggest, if not the biggest global crisis that the world has ever seen.
All Is Not Lost, There Is Hope!
The world has seen two world wars and survived. We have been visited by pandemics in the past and we lived through it! The COVID-19 pandemic is NO different! We will kick its ass! We will come up with medicines, tools and do battle against this pestilence! And eventually we will all rise above all this mess! And Wealthy Affiliate members will live happily ever after!
And That Is All For Now Folks!
It has been a pleasure bringing you the good and bad news in the world.

I feel like I'm in a movie and its not quite reality, well the reality I'm use to. But it is what it is and a new way of looking at things will emerge. We are very adaptable. My uncle, aunt and cousin have the virus in Sydney. But they are doing well and have only mild symptoms. My son is sick with something but may only be a cold but we are under lock down anyway. I believe great things will come out of this era. Thanks for sharing Jen
This will pass as long as everybody plays by the rules. I believe that more teeth are going to have to be put in place because apparently numbers of people are not conforming. China was able to completely Lock Down there problem area and are almost out of the woods because of their political system. Now what are we going to do to smash this virus in the face to get ourselves out of the woods?
... super question .... and yes, how to dry up this virus and render it into harmless dust ..... visualize it as such ....
Great question Edward! What are we in the US going to do to beat the heck out of the virus?! We won world war II by being persistent and consistent with the campaigns undertaken to beat the enemies.
Then God gave us the Atom bomb, the biggest favor of the times. It stopped all doubts as to who the Almighty was giving favor to during the war. Remember one of the three main enemies was Germany who came up with the formula to build the nukes. It was handed over to us as we won the war in Europe.
The United States was God's nation then. Now, we may not be able to make the same claim as we continue to push Him out of the way. We are killing babies right before they are born in New York. And New York accounts for half of the US' infected population. Coincidence maybe?
As God is a loving and forgiving God, He will restore the world when His wrath is past.

Hi Joe, it is a global reset. History does repeat itself. I think it was a 100 years ago, that the Spanish flu occurred around January 1918 to December 1920, it infected 500 million people. The past bad news.
We are better equipped now and I just hope this ends soon.
Best wishes,
Michael
Hi Michael!
Indeed the world should be praying and hoping that it all will end soon. Today, the news put out some grim stats: US now leads the world in the number of infected cases at 82k plus. Followed by China with 81k plus (if they are telling the truth). Third is Italy at 80k plus cases.
The brighter news is that we are 6th in the world in death rates.
The US is also very pro active in doing testing and we are not hiding facts.
Thanks for the feedback!

Most goods we buy, including food is transported by truck. I was on the intersection for 8 or 9 miles yesterday. The fact that there were very few cars didn't surprise me. But I didn't see anywhere near as many 18 wheelers as usual on that stretch. Makes me wonder if enough food is getting delivered.
Bill Gates said we should wait at least 10-12 weeks before restarting the economy. I'll tell him what I think about that the day I see him in the food stamp line.
The folks on the streets who are making things happen are the ones that could give us the better and more accurate assessments of things. The bosses need to listen. Then they decide after listening to those who are close to the place of action. This is one key to great leadership.
Great informative feedback Neil!
Thanks!
Stay safe, please keep us updated!

I live about 70 miles from New Orleans. 'The city and the adjacent Jefferson Parish have the highest infection rate and highest death rate in the USA. More even than New York City. I'm sure Mardi Gras contributed a lot to that. Was early this year, in February before everybody was all that concerned about the virus. There are parades and crowds for at least two weeks prior in the city as well as the suburban areas
On Mardi Gras day there are well over a million people from all over the world packing the streets of the French Quarter as well as the business district shoulder to shoulder like sardines.
Mardi Gras and Coronavirus connection sounds logical. Hope this serves as a lesson learned.
Thanks for the update Neil!
Let us power on!
Joe
They are not going to stop having Mardi Gras. Brings way too much money into the city. The bar and restaurant owners would literally murder any politician who shut it down permanently.

Joe--I love that you touched on the "scary" part that you or I could die any day. Same as it EVER was--that has been the one constant, and is my driving force. We have always had the specter of death with each new day. so I say "Carpe Diem" and move forward! Same as it EVER was!
Loved the post, my friend!
Jeff
