We need all the help we can get

America Can't Do It Alone

It appears history has repeated itself and the world is once again in the Dark Ages. Millions are sicked with this disease and hundreds of thousands have died from this disease. It seems like the end of the world and no end of its grip in sight disturbing the very foundation of government. Overshadowing the economy, businesses no longer can operate without customers and employees. With all the world's advancement, inevitable diseases find their way to disturbing humanity. So what do we do and who do we turn to? Science and history have shown that we need our Allies to forge a relentless alliance against such epidemics. It was both immigrants and citizens alike who partnered in the laboratories coming up with vaccines and cures. And now the world faces the question, be at war with one another or be in truce to fight this invisible enemy. And now we know what the old war slogan means "neutrality is death". We cannot battle this alone, we are not big enough and we are not great enough. The world has to come together. America does not have to be best at everything and frankly, no country is the best everything. And even when a country declares itself the best, it is tested by the pride it proclaims. We are better, the world is better when it comes together. If we see our reflection in the world then we can make gains. Our reflection might tell us what we are weak at and what we can do better. On the other hand, pride and strife create chaos because it distorts the reality of the situation. We cannot hide behind the fact that we cannot wait. Do we know that the coronavirus spreads in the body through protein receptors, then why not invest in research that blocks these receptors? We know that the previous coronavirus drains the body of its immunity and vitamins and minerals, then why not invest in research that builds up these areas within the body? Time is running out and refusing to trust allies might be a dire consequence. The sacrifice we make today will make it a better tomorrow for the future. We see the success in other countries, why not share in the success? America is not the first empire that dealt with fatal diseases. America has to empower its research now and reconnect to the world with funding. There is no other choice otherwise we will be held back and our people will suffer from a lack of accountability and transparency. We will be immune to this disease someday, no matter if it changes form if we prepare the science. Science is not the enemy of the state. Science saved us from wars, helped us win, and empower forward-thinking. Science has brought about knowledge and power that has enlightened the ages even though it had its flaws, true science is proven research that tells informative and effective and efficient information. Enough with war, this is about civility and livelihood. We must not fight each other or be partisan dividing we will lose our chance to normalcy. Every general knows, and every captain understands never to declare war on an invisible enemy because that enemy is untraceable. Instead, you must find facts and distribute the truth with diplomacy and eloquence and administer justice. Yes we must keep social distancing, and yes we must wear masks, and yes we must be clean of germs but also we must hurry the science and research that focus directly on reasonable and rational data. Every world leader understands that technologies, science, and research enables a nation to stand the test of time and endure.
