I read that they believe the coronavirus is creating a whole new world of insomniacs. I can understand that, but I don't think it is just the virus.
It is the state of the country.
I don't wake up at 2 AM worrying about the virus.
I wake up worrying about the man who would be dictator and the secret police.
I worry about little children crying themselves to sleep in strange places with strange people. Not knowing where Uncle Sam put their parents. (Or maybe, God forbid. Who he sold these children to.)
I worry about the people who can't afford medical care, or groceries because their company insulted the egomaniac running our country.
The virus is terrifying, but our political status is more terrifying. It exacerbates everything else going on.
Everything is a photo op for some people. Even death and desolation.
