Reflection and current news related to the global pandemic, Coronavirus (COVID-19). Is there a way back, or is this the new normal?
The Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) has dominated the world news, as well as the hearts and minds of humanity as a whole from Kathmandu to New York, from Paris to Kenya, from Singapore to Panama, it is everywhere. Now more than ever, it is time for Humanity to unite, for communities and nations to come together, and to work towards the common interest of beating this invisible enemy.

As the NEWS broadcasts 24/7 COVID-19 (Coronavirus) statistics in real-time, it's time to consider some perspective and the underlying ethics of such a "scorecard" portrayal of human life.

And why not consider other data such as fatalities resulting from Mosquitos, Heart Disease, Diabetes, Cancer, and the Flu?

The Wuhan Institute of Virology, just miles from the infamous wet market where the Novel Coronavirus is said to have begun, is perhaps the true ground zero for the Global Pandemic. This discussion reflects on the profound implications if COVID-19 is determined to be a product of the Virus Factory.
As global inquiries are raised by world leaders, and allegations continue to escalate that COVID-19 leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, in the Wuchang District of Wuhan, Hubei, China, it is time to reflect on potential consequences if this leak is determined to be accurate.
Fake News has become a phrase used by uninformed naysayers globally, in response to anything they disagree with, or that does not fit into their "world view" of how things are. While Fake News certainly does exist, when media or others make materially false claims which are factually inaccurate, the phrase has been adopted as a means of censoring and rebuking anything and everything that anyone disagrees with. As a result of the widespread misuse of the term, across all social media and broadcasting platforms, The Night Watch has taken on the cause. We are officially embracing the phrase "Fake Fake News" and promoting the hashtag #FakeFakeNews which refers to the false FAKE NEWS claims made so frequently. A simple reply "Fake Fake News" (with or without hashtag) may be used to rebuke the FAKE Fake News naysayers, specifically those who call news, opinion, insights, and/or observations fake without taking the time to personally and directly investigate, research, or even spend reasonable time exploring the topic in question.

We have all been through a lot lately. Global markets crashing, retirement funds evaporating, iconic stocks reaching all-time lows, and ultimately savings running out, and debt running up. Many of us work with financial advisors or stockbrokers, which is the topic of this episode. Throughout this recent market chaos, have you found them to be helpful, providing meaningful guidance and support, or are they simply sitting on the sidelines collecting fees and telling you to do nothing but ride it out? For those of you who are not working with professional financial advisors, how have you managed to navigate through the investment crisis?

Humanity is facing extreme challenges from all directions. A global pandemic with mass infections as well as widespread fatalities, also economic disaster including lost jobs, closed businesses, crashing stock markets, and entire economies shutting down.

Amidst all of this chaos and loss, how has Humanity handled the current state of affairs? Have we seen a rise in criminality, a deterioration of moral conduct? All of this is discussed in this episode of The Night Watch.
