Other than my personal experience above, I only have other secondary experiences but in my mind, there is analogy to be made with many places in Africa; I’m thinking of Ghana, Africa where there is garbage everywhere, illiteracy, broken down buildings and equipment, roving packs of feral dogs, and seemingly little chance for the poor to escape “upward”.
A church group has been involved in the Rosebud Res in SD and while there are some people there who have embraced Christ and are making an impact to improve life, it’s a difficult road with a broken culture, alcoholism (alcohol is banned but the black market thrives) child abandonment, ubiquitous garbage, and for most, a short life..
Yet they suddenly become concerned about the health of their tribal community and focus on a non-existent problem in the Fauxrona Virus.
It appears, as does our governments, concern about the Fauxrona Virus is more political than medical.
