FUTURIST: Our choices can save lives over the next six months
David Houle
My previous column titled Dark Winter was my suggestion that we will have a dark winter ahead primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The only thing I got wrong was thinking that America might top out at 135,000 new cases a day. Well, I am writing this on Dec. 7 and we have already hit 200,000 as a daily new case load, so I was off by 40%. This, of course, only makes the winter darker.
America’s Vision Deficit was about how, until recently, Americans came together to face common enemies, whether it was the Axis Powers in WWII or the Soviet Union in the race to the moon and the Cold War.
