Six months has passed in 2020. Half of 2020 has gone by.
In half a year, we had a global pandemic which killed more than 500,000 people worldwide. International travel has slowed to a crawl. Economies are stagnant as people try to figure out how to resume economic activities without exposing themselves to COVID-19. Some countries are acting in belligerent ways to take attention away from domestic problems. Global leader United States is becoming even more isolated from the world as it struggles to deal with COVID-19, systemic racism, and divisive politics in an election year.
Fortunately, homo sapiens is a resilient species, and we, as a species, will come out of this crisis no matter how bad the second half of 2020 can be. Individuals, however, may not all be so lucky. I just hope that as we deal with this crisis, we remember that it is compassion for our fellow human beings that makes us resilient as a species.
