I just saw a news piece about the growing number of orphans due to COVID. It is a crisis on multiple levels. Children could be trafficked, sold, physically and sexsually abused, illegally adopted etc. What is their future? What is a solution to this crisis that not many are aware of or not talking about?
16 years ago, there were news stories about how Hurricane Katrina had erased New Orleans from the Earth and killed unknowable, but surely large, numbers of people while doing it.<p>They still had Mardi Gras next year, and the year after, and so on.<p>I suspect that you may have heard some exaggerations here, too.
