Wow. Well that's disturbing, but I guess it is to be expected.

One thing that strikes me about this is how it is affecting literally everybody on the planet in one form or another. And people all over the world are having similar experiences such as being cut off from loved ones, which is very common. The level of emotional stress is also building worldwide.

Climate change will affect everyone as well, but it won't look the same for everyone to the extent that this does, and so people, and the media, won't connect the dots. With this, we have a name and we see people dying and going broke and being stuck on cruise ships and in foreign countries all over the world, but with climate change, people may not associate that typhoon in Japan with the wildfires in California.

You would think that such a common experience of suffering might bring the world closer, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
