Covid-19 still deadly, unpredictable

RUGBY league fans in one Australian city have turned out in record numbers to watch the National Rugby League grand final between the Melbourne Storm and the Penrith Panthers.
People everywhere are finally coming out of their Covid-19-induced hibernation to enjoy the sunshine once again.
Or is this some kind of lull in an unfamiliar game of hide and seek?
How do we truly comprehend the intriguing nature of this deadly disease?
After what we have been through over the past several months, it appears that the pandemic has finally abated.
As suddenly as it had appeared, the most intriguing disease ever known to mankind has somewhat abated like receding flood waters.
What if this deadly disease goes into hibernation and reemerges on the other side?
I am not writing this to add to your fear and anxiety.
We must be thankful to God because His divine intervention has sustained our lives in the midst of this catastrophe. Coronavirus is a mind-boggling disease that has a potent capability to confound and beguile even the most brilliant medical minds.
Like an intruder in the night, it has slipped unnoticed into our midst.
Before one could react to its unwelcome presence, this ‘intruder’ has already left a trail of death and destruction in its wake.
Like an evasive species, it has moved one step ahead of our ability to subdue and eliminate it.
Human beings have become helpless in the face of this pandemic.
So many authority figures and those at the forefront of medical research and disease control have expressed singular gut feelings.
How did we let it spiral out of control?
We could have prevented it in the first place.
