I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that.
The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct.

ALT: An eerie black-and-white illustration depicts a hospital ward filled with sick patients lying in beds, their gaunt faces conveying anguish. A nun stands in the foreground, holding a rosary and appearing to ward off a large, ominous bird that flies overhead.
