A Dozen Days and the Warning is Hardly Touched

  What has it been, a dozen days since the UN warned us of famines of "biblical proportions"? 
"Act fast," the UN warned, and I wonder if we in the United States have even begun to move. The UN might be on it, but in the United States, the UN's warning seems to have gone completely unnoticed.
   Not a touch of concern.
   Oh, there has been a rush of concern after Tyson Foods warned that our food supply chain in America is on the verge of a breakdown. But, that is somewhat a separate issue. The UN was talking about famines in other countries.
   And, it spoke of not only the coronavirus being the cause, but a "perfect storm" of conditions existing, such as more frequent natural disasters and changing weather patterns.
   We've turned a deaf ear on the UN. It warned of famines of "biblical proportions," and we are so jaded by everything  going on about us that we have no room for this warning.
