The Pandemic
The Ted Talk video that I watched stated that we are no longer in a health crisis. Instead, they claimed we are purely in a financial crisis now. I am torn between both of these statements because I can see both sides of it. I have a compromised immune system, which puts me in a higher risk category relating to Covid-19, therefore, of course it is still a health crisis to me. However, the pandemic lockdowns have affected my finances, just as it has many other people, so I see that side of the story as well. There is another crisis that the pandemic has caused, which is not talked about much in the media, which is the mental health struggles.

Shots In Arms, Not In Planet
Hey There, Its EDB here, that’s Erik DeSean Barrett for long, and if you’re reading this when its released, on Tuesday, 16:03:2021. Then you are well into your Day, which has realized that the struggle is no longer how do we get shots, nor how to we get them in them arms, but how do we convince people to sit their asses down and get shot up!! Even more so today, when that struggle of confidence meets, a possibility of error, Is it possible the answer is not in some miracle drug, but in naturally grown remedies? and finally what do you do, when the world fixes its covid nightmare, returns from financial disaster, only to realize the planet is crumbling at the seems. It is times like these that try mens souls. And I say lets get to trying..

COVID-19 and Its Effects on European Countries
All over the globe, nobody would have predicted that the year 2020 would be affected by a global pandemic. Over the years, some parts of the world have been recorded to be bedeviled with deadly diseases. For instance, the Ebola Virus did not affect all the countries of the world during its reign. However, virtually all countries of the world were hit and are still hit with the deadly coronavirus. It has caused an abrupt end to every activity that cut across all phases of life as churches, mosques, markets, stadia, music and entertainment industry, public and private companies, schools, etc were all put on hold forcefully. In a nutshell, a global lockdown was enforced in order to find a lasting solution to the deadly virus.

MFGA: Make Fashion Great Again
MAGA hats, thought of by some as symbols of patriotism and nationalistic pride, representing an unspecified time in American history when everything was great, have swept across the USA over the last four or so years like a great fever, driven by the passion of the last President's supporters. But now with a new President in town, isn't it time these caps, which have come to represent so much that is wrong in the world, also find their place in the history books, or better yet, the bin?
