The Coronavirus has Our Attention, but Other Things are also Going On

  As the world turns. As all the world is caught up in the drama of the coronavirus, are we experiencing other ominous events that might portend to the last days? Maybe. Maybe not. These things might not be big enough. Or, they might.
   Announced this week: The West is in the throes of the worst long-term drought in 500 years, and maybe the worst in 1,200 years. Scientists call it a megadrought. To earn that term, the drought must extend across at least two decades. The current one began in the year 2000.
   And, ongoing since at least the beginning of the year: The worst locust infestation in Africa in 25 years, threatening food supplies.
  One hundred tornadoes ravaged the South Easter Sunday and the day after. And, the tornadoes are expected to continue for many weeks.
  Smaller tremors continue in Magna, Utah -- aftershocks to the worst quake for the Wasatch Front in all of modern history --  a 5.7 rattling that hit a month ago yesterday, March 18
