The Intersection of health, weather and crime

The Intersection of health, weather and crime

Is too cliche to say that we are about to hit another new normal? Well, this fall and winter season is stacking up to be just that. Because we know that cold and flew season comes around when the weather gets colder and most human activities are going on inside, it is highly likely that we will see a surge in Covid cases. nobody knows what that is going to look like with there already being an upward trend of new cases, without the flu season hear yet. There should also be added trauma due to the stress of the recent rise in crime, falling economic conditions due to layoffs from the pandemic shut down and increasingly unpredictable weather patterns. We are seeing more and more fires, floods and tornados every year. We seem to be moving into the chicken or the egg experience. Is it the pandemic that is freaking people out, or is it the unemployment that was caused by the pandemic, or is it the symptoms from the pandemic that is causing people not to think straight, make bad decisions and commit crimes, or is the stress of everything got people thinking that we are entering into the zombie apocalypse and they have just gone over the edge. There aren’t even questions as much as rhetorical statements that require no response, because we all know that no one knows. We seem to be in for an extended string of new normals because there is still a whole lot of crazy out there starting all the way at the top and it has been trickling down to the average Joe over the past four years.
