COVID-19: Trigger for a New World Order. Economic Stagnation and Social Destruction
What
makes all of this difficult for so many is that the sudden transition
has been almost instantaneous, leaving people in a near callow state of
bewilderment, wondering what just happened to their old life.
There was very little controversial about it. A featured blog post in

Many
journalists and op-ed pundits have been observing how the United States
